Creaking noise on slow manoeuvre fix
elfensin replied to UndertheRadar's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
SPF4175K for the front bush. SPK4176K for the rear two bush, or SPL5592K if you upgraded to alloy subframe. -

Just buy the bushes for Golf. Bushes are the same. -

It can be physically fit onto the car. But it doesn't mean it fits the car. Superpro doesn't have a lower control arm for Superb (or Passat, Arteon). It should be very easy for you to find superpro poly bushes on eBay. -
Last time I ran out of petrol, my car told me there was 15 KM range left. I even saw someone said his car stopped when there was 30km range left in the FB group.

I end up running with poly bushing together with oe Superb LCA. All good now. -
The thermostat and water pump in this engine is guaranteed to failed🤣 Even you replace it now, it will still fail again. Some aftermarket water pump has a better quality.

You can still replace the OE rubber bushings with poly bushings. My front suspension is full poly now. -

I'm the Aussie guy who had TRC1070 on my Superb and then removed it. I can confirm the arms for Golf are shorter than the ones on Superb. I also did some calculation: The front track on a Golf R MK7.5 is 1537mm. The OEM wheels on MK7.5 are et50, So the distance from left disc to right disc is 1637mm. The front track on Superb is 1578mm, supernova wheels are et44. The distance between two discs is 1666mm. AFAIK, the subframe on Golf R and Superb are actually the same size, correct me if I am wrong. In this case, two arms on Superb are 29mm longer than Golf R's arms in total. So each is 14.5mm longer. Which 100% match the number you showed here. -
KW DCC dampers from Passat B8
elfensin replied to Stenben's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
They should be fine. As far as I know, all MQB platform cars use the same Monroe DCC strut. Springs and DCC turning are variable depends on the cars and models. -
What have you done to your Superb III today?
elfensin replied to boydeee's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Not today, but last weekend. So I scratched one of my rear alloy pretty badly two weeks ago. I could not find any color-match paint for the wheel. In the end, I decided to paint all four wheels into silver. Have to say, the silver is not what I thought at the beginning. It is too white-ish to me, not that cold/metalic-ish silver. But the final result is not bad at all. -
Skoda release first glimpse of Superb mk4

I think he is talking about the far left silver car, not the black one in the front. -
Front ECS strut mounts
elfensin replied to UndertheRadar's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
I had 034 street density mounts on my car for a while. They do amplify the suspension noise. It developed some minor knocking noise at low speed. -
I replaced my original top mounts (4 years 40k kms on the car, 1.5 years and 15 kms with Eibach lower springs) with 034 street density mounts, the creaking sound totally gone. But the 034 mounts did amplify some other suspension noise. it developed a mild knocking sound at low speed (below 40km/h). Then I replaced them with a set of Sachs mounts, all good now.

I have maxton diffuser and rear splitters on my car. Diffuser is gloss black, splitters are plastic finish. Installation is pretty straightforward, as long as you have some basic tools, it is an easy DIY job. I also cut and modified the splitters. As you can see from the pics, they are basically flush with the bottom of the bumper. The original design is a bit too boy-racer to my tastes.
