Just in case anyone is interested. I took my key to my local Timpsoms, they wanted £220. Went to a local locksmiths, who put me in touch with a local auto tech place, where they cut a new key, provided a new case with my “inners” inside it, for £50. So quite happy with that.

Just then to transfer the “inside” into it. Has anyone used this form before?

Thanks for reply. Yes, that does look straight forward. But video doesn’t quite show how the old key fits into the new hinge though.

Thanks for reply. It doesn’t seem the actual key is broken, it’s the metal casing the key goes into, where there is a crack in it, hence the key falling out. So not sure how you go replacing that, do you just get a new fob and the key slides in from the inside going outside somehow maybe?

On my 2016 Superb Mk 111 2.0 the key has come detached. I noticed a crack in the casing. Do I have to get a replacement from a dealer, or is it something I can fix myself. I’ve done a quick google, where it seems to can get replacement fob cases, but can’t see how you would insert your original key. Fortunately I have a spare, but for peace of mind would like to have a spare again. Thank you.

Thanks, I’ve got it booked at another garage for next Tuesday.

Superb 2016 Estate Diesel 2.2. My exhaust emissions control system light has just come on. I gave it a 25 min run up the motorway, but still on. My local garage can’t see it until 3 weeks. Is it ok to drive still, or could I do some damage to the engine. Thanks.

Thanks for replies. There is no usb socket on my system unfortunately. It has Skoda multi media written on it, if that’s what you mean by the head unit. Thanks again.

Apologies for second post on the same subject, but first poet didn’t have full title, so thought some people might have missed it. There are some portable Bluetooth cd players around for about £40.00. Just wondered if anyone has tried these in their Superb. My iPhone works fine on Bluetooth in my car, so can’t see why these cd players wouldn’t, but would be interested in anyone who might have tried one of these portable Bluetooth cd players. Many thanks. Tim.

I really miss my cd player and have recently seen portable Bluetooth cd players for around £40.00. Just wondered if anyone has tried these, and if they do actually work on Bluetooth. My iPhone works on Bluetooth ok, so would like to think a different device on Bluetooth would work too. Would be interested on anyone who might have these portable Bluetooth cd players. Thanks in advance, Tim.

Many thanks for all replies. Just drove half a mile down the road and all cleared. With the vid/obd11 to program the new battery. Assume I have to take it to a dealer to do this? Where there would obviously be a charge, is it important to get it done? Thanks again all, I was a bit concerned!

I’ve just fitted a new battery on my Superb business diesel estate 2016. I checked about radio code on this forum, it doesn’t have one, and radio working fine. However, lots of warning symbols and things not working. Tyre loss indicator. But says “tyre loss currently unavailable “ when I try to reset it. Park pilot not available. (Never used it anyway) Front assist not available. Warning symbol for “power steering/steering lock/kessy system. Error ACC. Error Autohold. And probably more! So not sure what I’ve done, is it something that needs re-setting maybe? Any help gratefully received. Tim.

Thanks for quick replies. The manual that came with the car says it’s a “Amundsen and/or Bolero” infotainment system which does relate to the radio I have. So going by that it must be the original radio, which doesn’t need a code then if I replace the car battery by what you are saying. Thanks again, Tim.

I’m about to replace the battery on my 2016 Superb Business Diesel Estate. Just wondered if the car has a radio code which I will need, if it does, I can’t find it in any of my paperwork that came with the car. So asking if it has a radio code? Thanks , Tim.

I left it at the garage so didn’t see what the tester said. The garage just rang me up and told me it was a glow plug.

Many thanks for replies. Managed to get it into a local garage. It was a glow plug that needed replacing which they did. Diagnostic test £62.50 labour £45.83 Glow plug £17.44. VAT £25.15 Total £150.92 Not sure if this is is expensive for the job or not, however as I needed the car, and didn’t feel safe driving it with the amber light on, I was happy to pay this, especially as they did it the same day.

My exhaust emissions control system light has just come on. My car is business 2016 superb diesel. I put in some Redex Diesel System cleaner the other day, not sure if this is related or not. Just had a good drive on a motorway to see if the light would come off, bit it hasn’t. No noticeable drop in power. I guess I will have to take it to a dealer, in the mean time, is it safe to drive? Thanks, Tim.

Fair point, and like you say if I can send it back if it’s not suitable then worth a try. I do miss the cds though, and my car is when I listen to most of my music and I know it’s old school but I’ve always done it and quite happy to do it, if I can.

Seems ideal if it works in my Superb.

Thanks for that. That gives me an idea on what to go for and will contact an audio place about an option for a changer.

Thanks for all replies. I have the enclosed in the glove box, but no cd slot. Is there anyway I can get a cd player fitted? I’m not necessarily after a cd changer, just something that would play single cds. However, I had a Peugeot estate once that had a cd changer in the boot compartment, not sure if that’s an option or not.

I have a 2016 Superb SE business TDI diesel estate. It does not have a cd player, which I really miss, as still a bit old school! Is it possible to get one fitted does anyone know please. Thanks in advance.

Just an update. Did put a sheet of cardboard under the engine after a car journey and no drips. Also been monitoring the level, which has stayed the same. So can only assume it was an airlock as suggested. Many thanks for the advice given here, I was panicking to start with. It shows these forums work. Cheers, Tim

Thanks for reply. I will do as suggested over the next couple of days and report back. Thanks again, Tim

Hi All, I had a new cam belt and water pump fitted by a Skoda garage a couple of weeks ago, here in Southampton. Yesterday, the cooliant level warning light came on, had a look and the level was below the minimum level. Topped it up yesterday, and the level does seem to have moved slightly. Is it possible that it’s something the garage hasn’t done correctly, or just a coincidence that it’s happened just after the cars been in. My superb is 2016. Thanks, Tim.
