Rear plastic undercover wingnut?
still waiting for part which is WHT000713 But @rum4mo I think you’re onto something, it looks like it’s just a metal clamp washer N90335005 No nut goes over it according to parts diagram, what a stupid design considering it’ll always get wet I’m hoping the part I have coming will somehow work still

Rear plastic undercover wingnut?
Forgot to reply yesterday, thank you I ordered the plastic nut and should be here today From what I could see that should be all that’s needed but if I need the clamping washer I’ll get that another time

Rear plastic undercover wingnut?
Hello, I’m out and about so not had chance to look at ETKA etc but does anyone know the part number of I guess a wingnut type fastener for the rear plastic undercover Randomly noticed today that one is missing

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I’m not a massive fan either; however the Santa Fe looks massive but dimensionally only like 3cm longer and wider than my Superb estate. I think the boxyness makes it look bigger than it is

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I’m maybe thinking of replacing mine at some point too, nothing wrong with it but found out the Hyundai Santa Fe has two proper AC vents in the boot (for passengers 6&7) which still work when the 3rd row seats folded down, so perfect for my dog to be chilling instead of boiling Biggest problem now though is it’s not a great time to lease/pcp as prices are stupidly high

Sub frame mount bushing
I’m fairly certain that can be removed, if I recall @JR RS replaced his with an aftermarket one, like powerflex etc, but he will know more

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Took all the wheels off for a good clean and wax for his 10th birthday For his 11th birthday I’m thinking of getting wheels refurbed. I’ve got Sirius wheels but thinking not to get them diamond cut like original and just get them fully resprayed in its normal silver colour. I know people have done this but anyone regretted it? Tbh sometimes I can hardly tell it’s diamond cut as mines not the anthracite + diamond cut, quite a difference in refurb cost too
- Genuine or fake filters?

DSG stalling in reverse
Another thing to try if you’ve not already is enable Audi mode for the throttle response. If I recall when mine use to do it was pulling away slowly but kind of lurched a little as if it had 1000hp so I lifterd off throttle then stall, sound about right?

DSG stalling in reverse
I’ve had that a few times but stopped when rear discs and pads changed, but I think I saw one of your posts and you’ve had them changed, or was that just the front? If not there is a setting you can change for the EPB to release “early” instead of “normal” that might help

What’s the slot below the MIB 2 screen?
That is the hand sensor, load up maps for example and don’t move and you’ll see the menu buttons at the bottom disappear Then move your hand by the sensor and you’ll see the menu buttons reappear Jedi sensor 😂

I reckon you’re leaving breadcrumbs as to where you’re leaving bodies on those roads 😂

High Mileage 2016-2018 2.0 or 1.6 Diesel, Manual or DSG: Service Checks, things to watch for?
I’ve got a 2016 2.0 diesel 190ps For my 6speed dsg it’s a service every 40k miles (don’t think there’s a time interval) Camber is now every 100 or 120k miles with no time interval, whether the pump can last that long though, who knows As for things to look out for, only thing I can think of is usual bumps and creaks, mines still on original suspension components but it’s only done 50k miles Some people reporting their suspension components failing much earlier

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I’m going to order a spare soon, if you find it, on top should have a letter inscribed and then google around for that (think eBay’s a good place) Kind renders them pointless as you can buy spares, someone who wants your wheels and knows it’s genuine can just carry around the spares and job done but tbh don’t think I allot theft is a thing now as all cars have them, not like years ago when they were rare eBay UKSkoda Locking Wheel Nut Master Security Key Match Service...Skoda Locking Wheel Nut Key Match Service.

No air coming from centre flaps or foot flaps
Next best thing is to scan it as it should be logging a code

No air coming from centre flaps or foot flaps
Just to confirm, have you turned “auto” off? As you rarely get air from the centers when that’s on

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Replaced my coolant tank with a new one and topped up with G12evo Thought I’d remove the old silicone bag to see the condition and the bag itself looks perfect from a 2015 coolant tank

Touch up paint
You can buy direct from your local dealer I need to top up some bits on mine, but don’t think I’d be good at it and might look worse

Alloy Wheel change
Got a link to those?

Alloy Wheel change
Nothing wrong with what you’ve got apart from the nightmare of cleaning them I suspect? I’ve got the top ones and bit of a pain
