Thanks for the replies guys. Very good of you. So I have lowered the glove compartment door and the fuse box is straight ahead (see picture). So when you say they slot on to the side of the fuse box, where do you mean exactly? Do I get to that via the glove box or do I have to take the side panel off the dashboard? Or somewhere else? Sorry if I am being a bit tick...

Hi all. Being a newbie I posted this yesterday but realise now I put it in the wrong place. Sorry for that. I have been the proud owner of a 2016 Superb Estate SEL estate 2.0 tdi in Black Magic. Currently on 44000 miles. It is one of, if not the best car I have ever owned, when everything is taken in to account. It goes well enough, is amazingly economical, has loads of space and comfort, and looks pretty good too on its 19" wheels. One thing that has puzzled me from when I bought it as a low mileage 2 year old in 2018 from a VW dealership, was why a bunch of fuses kept falling down in the passenger side footwell. See picture attached. The dealer just shoved them out of the way, but every so often they fall down again. The car does have a detachable tow bar (which I have never used), so I was wondering if this little block of fuses is to do with that. Anyway, my question is, are these standard and where should they be tucked? You can see just to the left of the fuses a white fixture which looks like it would fit this block of fuses, but they slide out again. I would just like to get them properly stowed away if anybody has any clues! Thank for reading.

The warranty provider (safe in the knowledge that my warranty ran out last week!) told me that this is a known VAG issue and that I should speak to the garage it was bought from. They said they could book it in only in 3 weeks time! Or I should get it receovered on a breakdown truck and they would then investigate it sooner. So I then spoke to another garage (Lookers Skoda) who said they couldn't recommend that I drive it in. The first garage and the warranty providfer both said that there may be grounds to speak to Skoda UK customer services with a view to getting some goodwill repair / contribution. Not sure what to do next!

Hello. This is my first post so please don't shout at me if I do something wrong! I have a 16 plate Superb 2.0 tdi SE L Executive estate which has done about 23k miles. I have owned it for nearly 2 years having bought it when it was on just 8k miles, from a VW main dealership. I am really pleased with it overall. I bought a 1 year extension to the standard warranty, which expered on 3rd March It was serviced last year by that main dealer. Coolant was checked in the service. I decided this year to have it serviced by a specialist VAG independent near me who seen to have a good reputation. On collecting the car on 6th March from service they asked me to have a look with them in the coolant reservoir. It looks a bit like thin tomato soup with grains in it. They asked me if I have ever added anything to the coolant, to which I answered "no". They mentioned a phenomenon of the silica bag (and the reservoir does indeed say "Mit Silikat") and that there have been reports of these bags failing and depositing the silica into the coolant. They suggested it should be flushed to avoid clogging the system and in partiular the heater matrix. I am happy to have this done, but slightly hesistant about whether this is something that I should be referring to Skoda, as even though the car is out of warranty (by 3 days), if the heater matrix has to be replavced it would be a big and expensive job, which I would try to argue with Skoda /warranty provider about. I was wondering if anybody else has come across this, and any advice you could give? Many thanks.
