Hid to led headlights upgrade. what do people use in 2025?
If you want to remain legal then leds no go, I manually adjusted my headlights with the screw and much better, I’ve also got osram nbl laser, there’s a newer version now which is brighter yet Also make sure your headlights are super clean and inside windscreen

Replacement battery
Personally I’d go with Varta (and I did), well respected and OEM for VAG and many other German cars

They’re directional, did you fit them the correct way?

Dreaded hybrid A/C and battery coolant issue, meh.
Hmm I’d reject it or get them to fix, I believe the battery coolant should have a pin on it to stop owners from ever opening it, so if it didn’t have that then someone’s been there before trying to fix it, gave up then p/x’d it

Battery not charging
The battery will need replacing either way at 8 years old, get a varta replacement

oil and filter change
If I had the chance I’d get the oil sucker and do it that way be super easy then and no messing about down below, but mines a diesel so filter at the bottom boo

Engine stalls on first drive of the day
Sounds very much like a battery issue, if it’s still on original it’s time for a change for sure. I also had this now and again before changing my rear discs and pads, almost like the auto hold not disengaging quick enough but my battery was also old at the same time

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Exactly that and another point to make is with mit silikat the coolant was G13, which VAG no longer use which says enough The new stuff is g12evo, if you mix your g13 with g12evo expect some browning to occur but perfectly fine to mix As g12evo doesn’t have the extra silicone then technically the coolant needs flushing more often now but I’ve yet to see a schedule for this, like every 2 years 4? Not sure

No idea why or how people smoke in a car, bloody grim!

Superb keeps locking
You’ll need to get it scanned as it’s very likely to be one of the door locks will need replacing

Portable Bluetooth cd player.
Personally I’d get on with digitalising them to mp3, be much easier and you have a backup should the CD go funky

Back seat protection, anyone use one?
It looks like there is a zip half way, so could only put some side up then the rear passenger being in the way should stop your doggo moving about too much It’s a shame car designers don’t think of dogs, like with that cover why isn’t there a hole for the air vents to keep the dog cool grr I think a divider might be your best option though, my dog has the whole boot to roam then when we go on holiday our back seats rammed to death but wouldn’t work for you as you’ll have someone there

Skoda Superb mk3 No Heat below 24°
Are you trying this with a/c off and auto not selected? There’s quite a few sensors in play here and at this current climate not getting heat before 24oC sounds right but if you were to repeat this in winter I bet you’ll get heat at 19

Occasional loud clonk from AC - glovebox area
I don’t think it’s the big flap that’s making the noise it’s the other bit which is jaggerdy At least you’ve found the problem, weird as your car is new, it’s almost like that bit should have some foam over it to soften the sound Please come back here when it’s fixed and what they done to fix it, just in case it happens to others 🙏
-
Occasional loud clonk from AC - glovebox area
That’s the one, the reason for the cardboard underneath is to stop any crap falling down on top of the filter/area from falling into the fan Once you’ve removed that had a look around and hopefully you see something obvious The thump is an odd sound, could even be a flap issue which you can reset by following this If neither successful then get it booked in whilst it’s still in warranty
-
Occasional loud clonk from AC - glovebox area
Hmm, remove the pollen filter and see what’s happening Put a bit of cardboard underneath the pollen filter then pull cardboard out and filter at the same time Then have a nosey inside the fan blade underneath, sounds like something is restricting it, hopefully just a leaf Or so, have a look up too if something is there like a leaf

Fuel guage not moving after filling small amount of petrol
I’m sure someone had it on here where it registered as empty but still had like 5+litres left l, fill it more and it should be fine
- Temperature warning going uphill?
-
Constant warnings
Going to be very similar to this I suspect hardest part will be removing the old one
-
Constant warnings
If you’ve done what gammyleg said (full lock, left and right with engine on) and no fault codes then I’d reboot the system as such Disconnect the battery and leave it for 10 minutes, plug back in and see what you get. If it’s still acting like that then it’s got to be a disconnected or damaged cable somewhere I think (but this should 100% show an error in your scanning tool)

Rear door child shade/blind
I’ve got the factory tints, which is literally just a tiny but do these shades make a noticeable difference at lowering the temperature inside?

Constant warnings
