Care to share what the problem was and how it was fixed?

Got it thanks.

Great thanks. So rear camber can go below -1 deg on each wheel then.

Just another question. If the dragy device is inside the car how the hell does it know the outside ambient air temp?

Ok thanks. I was the only occupant in the car and had about 1/3rd a tank of fuel.

I have the 6 speed but I can’t imagine that would make that much difference. I had about 1/3rd of a tank. I see you did your 5.18 in 8 deg. That would def help. but you’re def pulling a longer time of 1g which must be helped by launch control. Speaking of which when you activate launch control does it say launch control has been activated on the dash display? Also I always have start/stop deactivated so do I still have to press it to activate launch control? Because obviously if I press it to activate launch control the engine then turns off as I always have it deactivated.

Yes but that (say 5.9s) would still be a long way off your 5.2s!!!

So in theory my stock is 280hp and 350 Nm so there's clearly something wrong with my car if my LC runs don't get sub 6's!!!

5.18 stock? And are these 0-60mph or 0-100kmh? edit: just saw your original post so stock 0-100. Damn impressive. So your stock is 1.2 sec faster than mine!! Geezus. Can you post your dragy graph for your stock 5.18 please. I notice in your Stage 2 tune graphs you’re pulling 1g for way longer than I am in stock. Only got to 1g very briefly in my stock run. what stock HP and Torque does your GPF engine generate?

So I'm about to Stage 1 my Superb Mk3 Sportline (280) Wagon. Thought I'd do some pre-map dragy runs and noticed my stock car is a little slower than quoted 0-100 km/hr runs. For my particular model car I've found these times on the internet (0-100km/hr - 5.7 seconds): https://accelerationtimes.com/models/skoda-superb-combi-2-0-tsi Based on two runs with dragy without launch control my quickest 0-100km/hr time was 6.34 sec. 2nd run was 6.45 sec. I'll try over the next couple of days for lower ambient air temps combined with launch control to see if I can at least get sub 6s. Should I be concerned that I'm currently some 0.6s off the quoted stock time?

Anyone know what Skoda recommends for minimum (smallest) camber in the rears please for the 280 Sportline wagon model?

Did they check/adjust the camber on the rears?

Hmmmmm. I’ve just bought 245/40/R19 tyres and about to bite the bullet on some new 8.5 inch wide rims so I hope my tyres don’t create vibrations.

Ok thanks. I would have thought the 235 width would have looked a little more stretched on the 8.5s than they do in the pics.

What tyres pressures do you generally run, particularly on the rears? Rears generally setup with a high camber and hence inside wear. Other thread on here indicates higher tyre pressures assisted others in reducing this inside wear somewhat.

Very nice looking car. What tyres are you running on the 8.5s please. And I know you’re on eibachs but do you also have DCC shocks?

Thanks. I would say the rears are protruding looking at that last pic. also didn’t realise you weren’t talking about a superb.

Interesting that the DQ381 is the only variant that has an oil change twice the miles of the others........wonder if this could be part of the reason this gear box has a higher failure rate?

Can you please advise ET of the 8.5 inch rims......I'm guessing it's over 45.

How on gods earth are you running 9 inch rims and 20mm spacers on the rear and not having them protrude out? What tyres you running on these also? No scrubbing? Do you have OEM springs? Can you show a shot like this with the "after" please?

That front end is horrendous. And what’s with those alloys. Hideous.

BTW my sill rubbers have drain holes in them.

Have you had it since new or bought it second hand? If second hand smash repairer could have blocked it off when repairing/painting door. But yeah as per post above this wouldn’t be likely on all four doors?

Agreed. Absolute disaster IMO. Imagine kids in the passenger seat having a field day turning it and changing 6 different settings.
