  1. Finally managed to use the wood batten from my old summer house as a test to use in front of my Halfords ramps, it was successful but sketchy in an auto even with auto hold off Without the wood the front bumper would touch the ramp, now it’s all good I can finally start my own oil changes, some other day…
  2. Do all superb have an air quality sensor or just the ones with air care? If all have them is air care any different to a car that doesn’t have the logo? seems to me it does the same thing but I’m sure there’s more to it
  3. Someone else recently had the same issue, it was the plastic behind the speakers which broke Pretty sure he reckoned it could be caused by the doors closing and over the years just broke if i were you I’d remove one door panel and speaker and investigate, if its had it then get new ones, if they’re fine then not sure
  4. I’d go back to them and say oi
  5. A while ago I somehow broke the spring on my 12v flap socket in the boot Tried to fix but no chance so £18 lighter for a new one and all installed Horrible job half the plastics had to removed and even more because I dropped the screw for the 12v down so even more plastics had to be removed, blew a fuse when i undone the screw n all Too hot to work so I hate cars again, but it’s all back together
  6. If I were you I’d just fit LED bulbs in your current lights. By the looks of the houses you’re not in UK so you might be in luck Have a look at https://www.osram.com/ecat/NIGHT BREAKER H7-LED-LED lamps (street-legal)-Car lighting-Automotive/com/en/GPS01_3401765/#products There’s a list of countries in Europe where fitting these is legal and the Skoda Superb with halogen housing is on the list of approved in quite a few countries but check the link
  7. Oh didn’t realise you’re still under warranty, they’ll most likely say that, if you were paying for it all they’d find something, feed them some small lies like you can smell oil
  8. I bought two 20amp fuses, when I get round to replacing them I’ll see if there’s any spares and report back in case anyone else asks. p.s don’t put a screwdriver in a 12v boot socket and forget it’s permanently live 😁
  9. Sounds odd and intimate, but put your finger in your exhaust move it round, is your finger clean? If it’s all sooty then something is going on as it should be clean like I said it sounds odd 😂 Could be a small leak but with plastic under trays and sound absorbent (oil absorbent) materials underneath it may never show as a leak on your drive. If you weren’t going to send it back I’d say remove the under tray for a couple of weeks and observe
  10. So I done something incredibly stupid and think I’ve blown a fuse, well I hope so. Does the superb have spare fuses by the fuse board?
  11. So with AC off but fans running there’s no funky sounds? I was going to suggest changing pollen filter anyway, do it the correct way by using cardboard underneath the pollen filter then withdraw cardboard and pollen filter together!, when it’s out you can shine a torch in by the fan and check there’s nothing in there (it’ll be tight so small mirrors might be needed) If that’s all clear and only works with AC on then I’m outta ideas
  12. I not long ago bought one of these for camping and it was perfect https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/duracell-core10-pd-25w-power-bank-drpb3040a-595067011?srsltid=AfmBOoo5DzJz4-86QvDoL1hlAvmkMNnWB8BTqGJdjUnLy2dWYitrZSRHgq0 What I’m going to do is put that in my arm rest, then find something like what’s in the superb boot (the Velcro plastic load keeper things) My iPhone 15 fits it perfectly, bit of a bodge but I like cheap bodges that work fine p.s you can get other power banks which are more powerful, the Duracell is good enough to charge my phone 3 times, charging is much quicker using usb c so can use that too from the power bank or just place it on top for wireless charging
  13. The fact it moves sounds like you have the dial set to the left mirror which is good otherwise it wouldn’t move. What you need to do now is start the car, put it in reverse (wait for it to do what it’s doing now) then adjust the mirror how you want it for reverse. Drive forward over 10mph or whatever it is then you should see the mirror return up, then stop put it in reverse and it should go back to where you just set it, if it does that and you have memory seats set it. If it doesn’t go down then maybe it’s had a whack in the past and it’s fubar, try above first though
  14. Surely it working fine is now considered broken? 😂
  15. I’ve got a diseasel too and only 68ah (original battery still), must admit I’m not great with electrics so can’t quantify if 27ah difference is huge or negligible, but my superb has more electronic gizmo’s than his a4
  16. Yeah but replacements are all 70ah, just not sure why they put a smaller battery in at least compared to an Audi, cheap skates and worst of all can’t easily upgrade to a bigger one because of battery tray. In the a4 the battery is in the boot so Audi probably thought fit biggest you can
  17. I find it odd that’s it’s only 70ah, my father in laws Audi a4 2014 150tdi battery is 95ah and has less features, wish our superbs had that
  18. The one in the wheel arch (fronts) is what I bought recently and will be fitting soon. When I collected it I was underwhelmed as it’s no thicker than a slice of pita bread, it must do something though 😬
  19. Yep best bet, I take it you know the things you need to change in vcds etc to “code” it in? Entirely up to you but get Varta A7 if you have AGM and if you want to This is what I’ll be getting, my car needs a new one imminently
  20. How old is this recall? Googled it and seems a few years old, unless it’s another one
  21. Just to be clear, the fun starts after a drive? Some people have had issues where the car hasn’t been driven and the fan starts by itself or at least not been driven for some hours, if it’s this then it’s likely to be dodgy relay. If it’s not that then if it does it again, start the car again and go for a drive on the motorway in 3rd or 4th for 15 minutes which should complete the job properly
  22. I’ve not done it on a Skoda but door card removal will be a ball ache, plus a few clips are bound to break. Once that’s removed, it’s usually another obstacle of drilling out the rivnuts if it has them and I bet it does (maybe get away with self tappers) Then you’ll need to find out or someone on here will say what size rivnuts you need and tool. Refit and onto the other side then eventually you’ll probably end up doing both rears too if replacement are much better 😁
  23. I’m sure an actual chocolate fire guard serves more purpose
  24. Don’t blame the misses too much, it’s very common for Skoda discs to do this, some people have had complete failure like what you’ve had too. I do not know where Skoda/vag source their discs from, clearly from a country/business which doesn’t give a damn. If you search on here you’ll see many more posts similar, glad you’re all okay
