  1. Mine is booked in for next week. I’ve had it less that 2 months. It’s a 65 plate. It has several distinct rattles or buzzes on acceleration. If they can’t or won’t fix it i’ll get rid of it. I can’t listen to that.
  2. Just called Bilstein. Uprated dampers for a MkIII Superb (non-4x4 or DCC) are £530 inc VAT and free delivery for 2 x front and 2 x rear. They are called ‘B6’.
  3. No idea..... standard from Skoda?
  4. Thinking of adding helper springs but worried they will raise the back end when not loaded/towing.
  5. Also, what can I do to improve the current suspension? New, up-rated springs? I do not want to lower the car!
  6. I have a FWD TDI 190 manual Superb. It has a detachable tow bar and 13 pin socket. My caravan is 1375Kg MYPLM. I have done quite a lot of towing but not yet with this car. Has anyone towed with a Superb without DCC? Is the suspension too soft? Thoughts?
  7. Can I put a slightly ‘taller’ tyre on if I were to change all 4?
  8. Drove 185 miles up the M5 from Plymouth to Droitwich the other day, averaging 59 mpg at 70 mph on cruise in 6th (1850 rpm).
  9. What are the recommended tyres? Looking at 2 x 19”..... where best to look? TVM
  10. I have a tdi 190 hatch in SEL Exec trim with 19” wheels. I like the look of the estates also but the hatch is easily big enough for me.
  11. Can this be done? Anywhere near Southern Birmingham?
  12. Any joy? I am about to book mine in under warranty.
  13. I think this area on my hatch looks very uninspiring. What are the various options? Pics? Ta
  14. All done! Thanks all.
  15. Can you specify what exactly was the cause? Mine has same issue!
  16. So, been and bought a good quality 32Gb mSD with adaptor. Just updating my laptop. Have an SD slot in the laptop. Do I format the card? FAT32?
  17. I have the Columbus system according to the Skoda Portal via VIN no. My current map version is 2015/2016 but there is no SD card in either slot in the glove box but my sat nav works. Do I need to buy a Skoda branded SD card?
  18. Diesel? It’s 5 years or 140K miles.
  19. I have registered an account and completed an order but I now need to pay. How do I pay 160 Euro’s to an IBAN account!?
  20. When towing, use ‘sport’ setting when on cruise?
  21. I am no Skoda expert but wanted to add that I am due to collect my car from a Skoda main dealer this weekend. It is a 65 plate 190ps TDi manual (non-4wd) SE L Exec with 63K miles and full Skoda SH. I have a 3 year warranty and it was under £11k. I will be using it to tow my 1375Kg MTPLM caravan.
  22. Off the Kodiaq. 19”
  23. Picking it up on Saturday. SE L Exec TDi190.
