What have you done to your Superb III today?
The kodiaq has a massive design flaw still, at least on the 7 seater version. The edge between 2nd row and 3rd row has a MASSIVE gap, so when you have a dog the gap is big enough for them to put their head in and snap their neck, stupid stupid design. Initially I thought it was the 2nd row seat wasn’t all the way back but it was

Virtual Cockpit Screen Scratches
Jeez that’s like someone has keyed your car but on the inside. If that was my car I’d try something like maguires ultimate compound but do it lightly and see if it helps and preferably in a corner as a test

Filter replacement on 24mth service
Seems local dealerships have changed to a charge what they want, that’s annoying. One thing I loved about VAG cars, the price was consistent and the price you see in like ETKA is the price you pay

Filter replacement on 24mth service
When you do your pollen filter do it the correct way by placing at least cardboard under the pollen filter, keep cardboard there then remove pollen filter. Filters are not changed but a chargeable extra so it’ll still be the originals

DSG clunk - normal or not?
Thankfully no, I did play the original videos and sounded like something other than gearbox issues and could be many other things

If you get it solved, don’t be like him and post the fix/solution 😁

Tyre pressure error
I’ve had issues in the past where I’d set it then few days later it moaned again despite no leak. If I remember correctly I had to have the engine running then set, turned it off and set it again and seemed to sort it. If you’re setting it with the engine off, try what I did. It could have even been the other way round. I just put it down to a software glitch

It’s gold really, just looks like plastic. At least they look a million dollars compared to my old ones 😂

Xenon headlight adjustment
I’ve changed my manually by hand That post should help you, I turned mine one full turn anti-clockwise (height), probably could go more but it’s best to use vcds for more

Automatic tailgate closing
It’s surprising it was never a press and hold button to open. This is really a bodge, but could you find some plastic, place that over the button then tape it. It’ll be ugly but free to do 😁

It’s odd as it’s the outside on mine which go all bubbly, centre is still good I’ve just ordered and going to pick up 4 OE ones from the dealership in a bit £62.something , think I’ll wax them to death and never let anyone clean the car other than me, just in case they use an acid cleaner or something

Ah sounds the same then, OE it is then Hopefully they won’t corrode like my current ones

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Other side done, why oh why did I do this whilst having a bad back 😭 Has anyone had good success with Amazon centre caps? Reading the reviews on one I saw says they don’t quite fit properly. OE ones are expensive for what they are, but it’ll fit perfectly at least. My centre caps are horrible and a shame to put them back on for now all 4 are like that

I think me cleaning them like that is the best they’ve ever had from 2016, so you’re should be much better Annoyingly the face of mine is diamond cut, otherwise I’d probably just get them refurbed. The front of my front passenger wheel is a bit a bit grim, it didn’t look too bad when it was dirty but after cleaning it today you can see the marks on it I don’t think I’ve ever kerbed them so either always been like that or just getting worse as time goes on

Took the wheels off for a proper clean as I’ve never done it and too late in some places, which is a bit annoying Only done one side (front and back) I used Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels, then Bilt Hamber claybar then finished with Chemical Guys wheel guard Good enough for me though and onto front and back driver side tomorrow and yes too lazy to do behind the spokes as it’s incredibly baked on

Reg plate requirements
I’m hopefully going to France at some point this year and I despise stick on or magnetic plates, so new reg plate the better option for me I don’t trust online places to do plates so nearest will be Halfords and doesn’t look like you can select the UK bits online annoyingly, if they did I’d probably find the answer myself but thanks for letting me know

Reg plate requirements
Yeah I’ve seen that bit but no mention of blue coloured section, so I guess that means no requirement Like for instance is this legal Or this

Reg plate requirements
I’m confused about driving in the EU now from UK I know the reg plate needs to say UK with union flag, but does it have to be in a blue section or can the left section background be yellow/white?

Boot Accessories
I must admit it is strange they don’t sell anything, I have literally no idea what you’re meant to use them for, but I did successfully hook in a baguette on the left hand side hooks 😁

Dreadful start to ownership
I’ve yet to buy a ctek but I need one, my cars a 2016 and original battery and seems to be on its last leg which is about right for the age, but I want to make it last longer with a ctek if I can. The supplied M6 eyelet quick connect is too short to make it useful, but ctek does an indicator light which is 10cm longer than the supplied one, so I’m hoping it can be put somewhere so you don’t have to keep opening the bonnet to connect all the time. Be good if it was like 1m because you could move it near the bumper and connect that way
