  1. Make sure you don't inject water when you add air to your tyres, as this might be what's causing the corrosion on the inside of the rims where the tyre beads sit. If you've ever owned an air compressor with tank, you will know that water builds up inside the tank...so the tank has to be drained every day when in use. Unfortunately, garages won't always drain their air tanks every day, resulting in water coming out with the compressed air when used to pump up your tyres. It's best to use a bicycle track pump or foot pump, or an air compressor that doesn't have a tank, ie. pumps the tyres up directly rather than via a tank...water builds up in tanks.

Taking into account the big percentage increase of 3.5% by going from 235/45R18 to 235/50R18, 245/45R18 is looking better. However, take a look at the available tyres in all three sizes to help you make a final decision. Michelin Primacy 4 245/45R18 96W (Euro Label B A 68dB) https://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s315p188246/Michelin_Tyres_Car_Michelin_Primacy_4_-_245_45_R18_96W_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_B_Wet_Grip%3A_A_NoiseClass%3A_1_Noise%3A_68dB
  3. The tyres will need changing from 235/40R18 to 235/45R18. Outside diameter 235/40R18 645.2mm 235/45R18 668.7mm Therefore, 235/40R18 has an outside diameter about 3.5% smaller than the standard 235/45R18 Superb MK3 tyre size.
  4. 6.5Jx16 ET46 5/112 57.1 alloy rim from Octavia MK3 (about £130 each) OEM part number 5E0071496D 8Z8 https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/kolo-z-lehke-slitiny-ilias-16-pro-octavia-iii/p/5E0071496D+8Z8
  5. The below rims come from the Audi A4/A6. At about 7.3kg they are very lightweight. 7Jx16 ET45 8D0601025K https://www.ebay.de/itm/283756219891?hash=item4211304df3:g:NBcAAOSwPMpeK~6T Michelin Alpin 6 225/60R16 102V XL https://www.camskill.co.uk/m96b0s1470p167838/Michelin_Tyres_Winter_Snow_Car_Michelin_Alpin6_Michelin_Alpin_6_-_225_60_R16_102V_XL_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_B_NoiseClass%3A_1_Noise%3A_69dB Audi Online Parts Catalogue 8D0601025K https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a4+s4+avant+quattro/a4q/2000-224/6/601-601060/#9
  6. They look like Octavia MK3 rims called MINORIS with a specification of 6.5x16 ET46 https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/kolo-z-lehke-slitiny-minoris-16-pro-octavia-iii/p/5E0071494++8Z8 The standard 16" Superb MK3 rims are 6.5Jx16 ET41, so fitting the ET46 rims will move them further into the wheel arch by 5mm. This shouldn't be a problem. The Superb MK2 for example, had two offset for its 16" rims, ET45 and ET50. The ET50 was used for winter tyres, so you would be doing the same thing by also going in 5mm for your winter tyres. The problem comes with the 205/55R16 tyre size. This has about a 5% smaller outside diameter than the standard 215/60R16 Superb MK3 tyre size. 5% is a big difference. 1.5% to 2% is often considered the most you should change the outside diameter of a tyre by. Going 5% smaller will mean that you speedo will over-read by about 10%. So when your speedo is indication 70mph you will only be doing about 63mph. Or when your speedo is indicating 50mph you will only be doing about 45mph. Or when your speedo is indicating 30mph you will only be doing about 27mph. Changing to 205/55R16 will also lower your car by about 15mm, so about the same ride height as a 15mm lowered sports suspension car. Your odometer will also over-read by 5%. So if you go for a 20,000 mile service, you will only have done about 19,000 miles. This will increase your servicing costs. The rims are fine, but change the tyres to 215/60R16 or you could take a look at slightly oversize tyres such as 215/65R16 which are sometimes cheaper. 215/65R16 would give you about an extra 10mm of ground clearance compared to 215/60R16...which could be useful in deep snow. 205/55R16 are much cheaper than 215/60R16, but the Superb MK3 doesn't use cheap tyre sizes...unlike the Octavia MK3. When you are buying OEM rims, always ask the seller what the OEM part number is before purchase, so that you know exactly what you are buying.
  7. The standard 19" rim size on the Superb MK3 is 8Jx19 ET44. The outside edges of this rim size when fitted to the car is quite widely spaced. By using 8.5Jx19 ET32 the outside edges of the rims will be spaced 36.7mm (almost 1.5 inches) further apart. This means that you could easily damage your rims on the kerbs when going through 2 metre width restrictions, as there's not always a lot of kerb clearance with standard wheels. Additionally, the 0.5" wider rims will mean that the tyres' sidewalls will bulge out less resulting in less rim protection. In short, you're asking for kerbing problems if you drive through 2 metre width restrictions with raised kerbs having fitted wider rims with less offset on a car that already has a wide track.
  8. I've had an email from EBC about why they make different brake pads for the rear 300mm and 310mm brakes on the Superb MK3. Apparently, although ATE make the same brake pads to fit either size of rear brake discs, when EBC made their aftermarket copies they purchased OEM Skoda rear brake pads...and they were slightly different from each other. So EBC copied both. EBC say that you are likely to be able to use either DPX2153 or DPX2173 rear brake pads if you are using new discs. But if your discs are used, it will be best to use the same pads that you are replacing (or at least have the friction material in the same place) because the friction material on the pads is likely to have worn an ever so slightly different track on the discs. I think it is for this reason that some people have had problems (possibly vibration) with various cars when they fit new but different pads to used/worn discs, ie. there can be problems if the friction material on the new pads is in an ever so slightly different position to the friction material on the old pads. In making different rear brake pads for the 300mm and 310mm rear discs, EBC appears to be the exception rather than the rule, as most brands make the same rear brake pads to fit both the 300mm and 310mm sizes. These brands include ATE, Bosch, Brembo, Ferodo, Hella/Pagid, Jurid, Optimal, Textar, and TRW. So out of these ten brands, it's only EBC that makes different rear brake pads for the 300mm and 310mm rear discs.
  9. It's a little bit strange that EBC sells two different rear brake pads for the Superb MK3, because ATE (whose brake system it is) sells the same rear brake pads to fit both 300mm and 310mm rear discs. As you can see from the below two links ATE are selling the same rear brake pads for both the 300mm rear discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TDI and the 310mm rear discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TSI 280HP. ATE rear brake pads 13.0460-7294.2 13.0470-7294.2 for Superb MK3 2.0TDI https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/brake-pad-set-10130/skoda/superb/superb-3v3/112394-2-0-tdi?supplier[0]=3&criteria[100][1]=HA ATE rear brake pads 13.0460-7294.2 13.0470-7294.2 for Superb MK3 2.0TSI 280HP https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/brake-pad-set-10130/skoda/superb/superb-3v3/112399-2-0-tsi-4x4?supplier[0]=3&criteria[100][1]=HA It appears that the 340mm front discs on the Superb MK3 are always matched to the 310mm rear discs, and it also appears that the 312mm front discs on the Superb MK3 are always matched to the 300mm rear discs.
  10. In my first post I listed EBC DPX2173 rear brake pads as being suitable for the 300mm rear brake discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TDI. However, I've had an email from EBC who say that the 300mm rear brake discs on the Superb MK3 2.0TDI need EBC DPX2153 rear brake pads. EBC DPX2153 rear brake pads for Superb MK3 300mm rear brake discs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291600255351?epid=249512428&hash=item43e4bac977:g:1xMAAOSw49xhoHrk The EBC DPX2173 rear brake pads are only for the ventilated 310mm rear brake discs.

  12. The Superb MK2 only uses 55mm front shock absorbers.
  13. Fabia MK2s from 2011 onwards don't have a wear indicator on the front brake pads when they were fitted with 256mm front discs. It was only the Fabia MK2s 2007-2010 that sometimes had a wear indicator on the front brake pads with the 256mm front discs. This depended on the build codes. You can see the build codes below for the 2007-2010 Fabia MK2s with 256mm front brake discs. You can see that you only got a front brake pad wear indicator with the 256mm front brake discs if you had build code 9U1 Fabia MK2 2007-2010 front brake pads for 256mm front discs 15 6Q0 698 151 1 set of brake pads for disk brake 1 PR-1LQ,9U0 15 JZW 698 151 A 1 set of brake pads for disk brake 'eco' D >> - 31.12.2009 front 1 PR-1LQ,9U0 (15) 1J0 698 151 D 1 set: brake pads with wear indicator for disc brake 1 PR-1LQ,9U1 15 JZW 698 151 1 set of brake pads with wear display for disc brakes 'eco' D >> - 31.12.2009 front 1 PR-1LQ,9U1 (15) 1J0 698 151 J 1 set of brake pads for disk brake front 1 PR-1LR,9U0 15 JZW 698 151 A 1 set of brake pads for disk brake 'eco' D >> - 31.12.2009 front 1 PR-1LR,9U0 (15) 1J0 698 151 E 1 set: brake pads with wear indicator for disc brake front 1 PR-1LR+9U1 15 JZW 698 151 1 set of brake pads with wear display for disc brakes 'eco' D >> - 31.12.2009 front 1 PR-1LR+9U1 15 6R0 698 151 A 1 set of brake pads for disk brake comprising: front 14" 1 PR-1ZG 15 JZW 698 151 A 1 set of brake pads for disk brake 'eco' D >> - 31.12.2009 front 1 PR-1ZG https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2010-608/6/615-615016/

  16. I would guess one hour's labour plus parts. If they quote more than an hour and a half I would be looking elsewhere. It's best to have an ongoing relationship with a garage...one that wants repeat business by keeping you happy. Changing rear pads and discs is a very straightforward and easy job for a garage. The Yeti has three rear brake disc sizes depending on model. 253mm, 272mm, and 282mm. The 253mm is a TRW brake system, 272mm is a Bosch system, and the 282mm is a TRW system. 253mm Rear Brake Pads 1K0698451J https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0698451j?search=OEN+1K0698451J&supplier[0]=833&supplier[1]=3&supplier[2]=30 253mm Rear Brake Discs 1K0615601AB https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0615601ab?search=OEN+1K0615601AB&supplier[0]=3&supplier[1]=833&supplier[2]=30&supplier[3]=3&supplier[4]=833 272mm Rear Brake Pads 5K0698451 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/5k0698451?search=OEN+5K0698451&supplier[0]=30&supplier[1]=833&supplier[2]=3&supplier[3]=30&supplier[4]=833 272mm Rear Brake Discs 1K0615601AA https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0615601aa?search=OEN+1K0615601AA&supplier[0]=30&supplier[1]=833&supplier[2]=3 282mm Brake Pads 1K0698451G https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0698451g?search=OEN+1K0698451G&supplier[0]=30&supplier[1]=833&supplier[2]=3&supplier[3]=30&supplier[4]=833&supplier[5]=3 282mm Rear Brake Discs 1K0615601AD https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0615601ad?search=OEN+1K0615601AD&supplier[0]=30&supplier[1]=833&supplier[2]=3&supplier[3]=30&supplier[4]=833 Skoda online parts diagram 253mm https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/yeti/yet/2013-666/6/615-615060/ Skoda online parts diagram 272mm https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/yeti/yet/2013-666/6/615-615063/ Skoda online parts diagram 282mm https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/yeti/yet/2013-666/6/615-615065/
  17. Carlston replied to Stubod's topic in Škoda Kamiq
    Out of the Kamiq, Karoq, and Kodiaq, the Kamiq is the most aerodynamic and most fuel efficient and the Kodiaq is the least aerodynamic. The Kamiq has a longer wheelbase than the Karoq. As you can see from the chart below, with the same 150HP engine the Kamiq is by far the fastest and most economical. Size wise, the Kamiq it's probably like a jacked-up VW Polo MK6 estate (if they did an estate version). The figures are approximate because they vary depending where you look. Kamiq 1.5 petrol turbo 150HP 132mph 0-62mph 8.2seconds 56.5mpg Karoq 1.5 petrol turbo 150HP 126mph 0-62mph 8.6seconds 52.3mpg Kodiaq 1.5 petrol turbo 150HP 122mph 0-62mph 9.7seconds 44.8mpg As you can see, as you go up from the Kamiq to the Kodiaq the top speed goes down a lot as a result of the massively increased aerodynamic drag, the acceleration drops a lot due to the big increase in weight, and the fuel consumption takes a big hit. The lower powered 110HP Kamiq will be about as fast as the 150HP Kodiaq, but will be much more economical and far cheaper to buy new.
  18. What size is the 16" spare tyre? It might be a 205/55R16 or 205/60R16 fitted to a 6.5Jx16 ET46 steel rim. Out of those two sizes, it would be best if it's the 205/60R16 size as that's a standard Octavia MK4 tyre size. If 205/60R16 fits in the spare wheel well, then so will the standard 205/55R17 tyre size...in which case you could order one of those as a spare to match the other four tyre sizes already fitted to the car.

  19. You input the build code into the "VW codes decoder". VW codes decoder 0YD = Weight range 4 installation control only, no requirement forecast 0YE = Weight range 5 installation control only, no requirement forecast 0YF = Weight range 6 installation control only, no requirement forecast 0YG = Weight range 7 installation control only, no requirement forecast http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx However, the weight range for any particular spring can change. The below chart shows a rear spring for the Octavia MK2 with standard ride height. Notice that the 1K0511115BD rear spring is called a weight range 2 spring for Octavia MK2 cars manufactured until 5/3/2006, but for Octavia MK2 cars manufactured from 6/3/2006 this same spring is called a weight range 4 spring. What had happened, was that Skoda had started fitting rear springs that were two weight ranges softer.

For example, the following rear springs are used on both the Octavia MK2 and the Yeti. 1K0511115CH Octavia MK2 weight range 1, Yeti weight range 2 1K0511115CJ Octavia MK2 weight range 2, Yeti weight range 3 1K0511115CK Octavia MK2 weight range 3, Yeti weight range 4 1K0511115CL Octavia MK2 weight range 4, Yeti weight range 5 1K0511115CM Octavia MK2 weight range 5, Yeti weight range 6 1K0511115CN Octavia MK2 weight range 6, Yeti weight range 7 1K0511115DJ Octavia MK2 weight range 7, Yeti weight range 8 1K0511115DK Octavia MK2 weight range 8, Yeti weight range 9
  20. As you are going up two weight ranges, wouldn't it be best to try them out before fitting the helper springs? The rear end might be firm enough without them.
  21. Sachs 900 105 and Sachs 900 203 are listed as sport, so are likely to have the 55mm front rubber buffers and the 118mm rear rubber buffers. The standard suspension uses 70mm front rubber buffers and 133mm rear rubber buffers, ie. 15mm higher/longer front and rear rubber buffers to match the 15mm increase in ride height. When I write standard springs, that means the standard springs for your Superb MK2 2.0TDI 4x4 estate, not a different car such as a 2WD car or 3.6. The 3.6, 2.0TDI 2 Wheel Drive, 2.0TDI 4x4, can all have standard springs, but they may be different and often will be different. Springs are closely matched to the weight of the car. Fit the wrong springs and you can end up with the wrong ride height and/or the wrong spring stiffness. gknautomotive sell the same front spring for both the Superb MK2 2.0TDI 2WD estate and the Superb MK2 2.0TDI 4x4 estate, but they sell a slightly stiffer rear spring for the 4x4 compared to the 2WD version...because the rear of a 4x4 weighs more than a 2WD.
  22. Just fit standard ride height springs and shock absorbers.

The 90mm ones are too long for the standard front suspension, and if you used them you would loose 20mm of front suspension travel. This should have been changed when the lowered front suspension was fitted.

  23. As you have a modified Felicia, maybe go for 185/60R14. This size is normally fitted to either a 5.5J or 6J wide rim. This was one of the standard tyre sizes on the Fabia MK1. Dunlop Sport BluResponse 185/60R14 82H https://www.skroutz.gr/s/7319811/Dunlop-Sport-Bluresponse-185-60R14-82H.html 185/60R14 has a 2.1% bigger outside diameter than 175/60R14.
  24. 175/60R14 has about the same outside diameter as 165/70R13. They both have the same load index. They both are standard Felicia tyre sizes. 175/60R14 has an outside diameter of 565.6mm 175/65R14 has an outside diameter of 583.1mm So fitting 175/65R14 instead of 175/60R14 would raise the gearing by 3.1% Speedos over-read by about 5% when on standard tyre sizes, so fitting 175/65R14 instead of 175/60R14 would make the speedo more accurate.

If you're looking for maximum fuel economy then that could be the way to go. 165/65R14 is only 0.8% higher geared than 175/60R14, which means that after about 2mm of tread wear the 165/65R14 will have the same outside diameter as a new 175/60R14. It's best to fit a 165/65R14 tyre to a 4.5J or 5J rim, rather than the wider 5.5J rim.
