Help with determining proper dampers for 3T Superb, rough roads
Sachs Rear Shock Absorbers As you can see from the below charts, the Sachs 311 346 rear shock absorber is sold to replace most Superb MK2 rear shock absorbers with the exception of the softest standard 2WD rear shock absorber, the stiffest higher ride height rear shock absorber, and the heavy duty rear shock absorbers.

TRW JGT1054T looks like a better option as it is being sold as a replacement for just 1JA and 1JB type suspensions. However, I suspect the TRW JGT1054T is simply a 1JA type shock absorber so you may be better off looking for quality rear shock absorbers that are sold to replace 3C0513049CP rather than the TRW rear shock absorbers. Notice from the above chart that TRW also do a TRW JGT589T that according to the specification on autodoc is of similar compressed and uncompressed length to the TRW JGT1054T model. I would guess that the TRW JGT1054T has stiffer damping to the TRW JGT589T model.

Help with determining proper dampers for 3T Superb, rough roads
If you are looking for aftermarket rear shock absorbers, you don't need to know whether your car has 3C0513049BN or 3C0513049BP OEM part numbers if you go with TRW JGT1054T as that aftermarket rear shock absorber is sold to replace both these OEM part numbers. However, also consider Optimal A-1434G and VAICO V10-4256 as these are sold to replace 3C0513049BP. autodoc list just a TRW to replace 3C0513049BN and just Vaico, Optimal, and the same TRW to replace 3C0513049BP. However, as with most aftermarket shock absorbers, it's a bit of a one size fits all approach...or at least each aftermarket shock absorber is often sold to replace a huge number of different OEM part numbers. This means that an aftermarket shock absorber might not even be a close match to the original. KYB for example, sell just one front shock absorber to replace ANY front shock absorber on the Superb MK2. It doesn't matter to KYB whether your car has standard suspension, sports suspension, heavy duty suspension, or increased ride height suspension. Clearly, KYB aren't too concerned about selling you a close match to the original. But this problem isn't just limited to KYB...it's an industry wide problem. Notice that the Vaico is sold to replace the same 20 OEM part numbers as the Optimal. The Vaico is also sold to replace an additional 4 OEM part numbers that the Optimal is not sold to replace. I've put these additional 4 at the end of Vaico's list, ie. 561513049, 561513049B, 561513049C, 561513049D.

brake pads
You need to change the brake pads before there's metal to metal contact. However, don't wait that long as metal to metal contact will ruin the brake discs.

S3 Winter wheel / brake sizes
I found the below information in the owner's manual. It looks like you need to look in the declaration of conformity (in the so-called COC Document) to find out the Skoda approved tyre sizes. Approved tyre sizes are specified in the technical vehicle documentation and in the declaration of conformity (in the so-called COC Document). The declaration of conformity can be obtained from a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some models).

S3 Winter wheel / brake sizes
This is in the manual for the Superb iV 2020. 17" wheels are only needed if you have the massive 340mm diameter front discs, as 16" wheels won't clear the brake calipers on those. Technical specifications Permitted rim / tire combinations for the installation of the snow chains. Rim size Wheel size 6.5Jx16 ET41 215/60 R16 6.5Jx17 ET41 215/55 R17 Only use snow chains with links and locks no larger than 13 mm.

Can I change from 18" wheels to 16" wheels?
What will fit depends on the diameter of the front brake discs. 14" wheels will fit over 256mm diameter front brake discs. 15" wheels will fit over 288mm diameter front brake discs. 195/65R15 fitted to 6Jx15 ET35 rims are listed as a winter tyre size on the Scala. 16" are always going to fit the Scala and Kamiq. You could even fit bigger 312mm non-standard front brakes with when using 16" wheels. It sounds like some Skoda dealers are simply saying that if a certain car model didn't come out of the factory with those size wheels that you can't fit them. Even though they will physically fit.

WHEEL SIZES
No, they won't fit. They are not from the BMW 5 series as the seller claims. They are from a 20 year old BMW 3 series and the rims have the wrong tyre size on. On the BMW they originally came with 205/55R16 but someone has fitted 225/50R16. If they had wanted 225s, they should have changed to 225/45R17 which is a much more common and cheaper size. BMW wheels don't fit VW group cars including Skodas as the PCD and centre bore are wrong. BMWs also use a different type of wheel bolt...conical instead of spherical.

Brake pad confussion
Maybe the brake pads were changed at some point to cheap aftermarket pads as opposed to good aftermarket pads. As you can see from the below link, good aftermarket pads don't have to be expensive.

I would rather have Uniroyal RainSport 5 205/55R15 88V than 195/50R15.

235/35 or 235/40 aren't legal on a narrow 7.5J rim as you can see from the Toyo links below. You need at least an 8J rim for these tyre sizes.

It depends how you drive it. It's all about economy and low end torque that's the selling point of that engine. Cruising at 56mph on the motorway isn't going to be a problem. Car insurance should also be cheaper with so little engine power. If it had been tuned up to produce 75HP with maximum torque coming in at a much higher 3,750rpm then top gear flexibility would have been ruined along with fuel economy. Of course, the market has now moved on and we have 1.0 litre turbo charged fuel efficient petrol engines producing excellent torque from 2,000rpm.

The 1.4MPI 8v engines appear to be OHV. It looks like the Octavia MK1 used a similar engine with engine code AMD. Skoda Octavia MK1 1.4 8v 1,397 cc (85.3 cu in) 4 cyl OHV 60 PS (44 kW; 59 hp) at 4500 rpm 120 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft) at 2500 rpm AMD 1999–2001 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia#Engines

Hi fellers. Proud owner of a rust bucket Fabia MK1 from Romania, chiming in
Take a look at the white build code label/sticker in the boot. Which engine code have you got? AZE, AZF, AME, AQW, ATZ ? The engine code might also be on a label on the engine/cambelt cover. 1.4 MPI 2000–2003 I4 AZE/AZF 1397 cc 44 kW (60 PS; 59 hp) at 5000 rpm 118 N⋅m (87 lb⋅ft) at 2600 rpm 1.4 MPI 1999–2003 I4 AME/AQW/ATZ 1397 cc 50 kW (68 PS; 67 hp) at 5000 rpm 120 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft) at 2500 rpm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Fabia#Engines

Cost of brake replacements
If the pads/discs are worn more on the inside that could indicate a sticking caliper, although because Skoda cars tend to use one piston sliding calipers they might wear more quickly on the inside anyway.

New Battery Problem On Standard Skoda Superb 1.6 TDI 2012
You could use it to test the battery voltage, but if I was using a dumb car battery charger I would connect up a constant voltmeter possibly using something like this cigarette lighter socket with crocodile clips and with an LED/LCD cigarette lighter voltmeter plugged into it. You can then see what voltage the dumb car battery charger is charging the car battery at. However, I wouldn't try fully charging the car battery using a dumb car battery charger, because if you keep charging the car battery when the battery is full you will damage it permanently (and new car batteries aren't cheap): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402994537554?hash=item5dd458a452:g:C1sAAOSwqglg7~37

New Battery Problem On Standard Skoda Superb 1.6 TDI 2012
I've got this Bosch 12V C1 car battery charger. It cost about £35 including postage from amazon.de It's a very modern battery charger and an led light comes on when the battery is fully charged. It will charge all 12V car batteries including the latest stop-start AGM models. There are no settings to set, so its as simple as it gets to use, and it won't overcharge the battery. Notice the four LED lights in the photo. Standby, Charging, Full, and ! if there are problems. The charge rate is 3.5 Amps which is close to the maximum charge rate that is recommended by the battery manufacturers for many of the typical car battery sizes and models. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/189-999-01M-battery-charger/dp/B00RP3DEW6/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=bosch+12v+c1&qid=1633439463&qsid=260-8735091-6284542&sr=8-1&sres=B00RP3DEW6%2CB00EALQM9S%2CB005XVTW0A%2CB0924XTRV7%2CB00B1RH3KG%2CB0032BKLI0%2CB003VEILMG%2CB003JY81VO%2CB08GKYW5KS%2CB07MBFY5ZH%2CB003JY828G%2CB01N4F9YRD%2CB06XYPXVFC%2CB002B552QY%2CB07R2FGH4Z%2CB00FAMAB4S Yuasa recommends a 3A charge rate for their 12V 50Ah AGM battery, a 4A charge rate for their 12V 60A AGM and 12V 70A AGM batteries, a 5A charge rate for their 12V 80A AGM and 12V 95A AGM batteries, and a 6A charge rate for their 12V 105Ah AGM battery. https://www.yuasa.co.uk/batteries/automotive/ybx9000-agm-batteries.html
