Rear window spoiler loose on Skoda Superb Estate Mk3
Do you actually want it? Personally I much prefer the OE style with the two mini spoilers at either end, but yours was probably removed by the previous owner If you don intend on using it I’m sure you could drop into a local body shop repair and have a word, I just imagine they’ll charge too much

Servicing - Dealer costs & digital records
Go here https://tools.skoda.co.uk/book-a-service-online/#/sk-data/osb Out in your reg and select dealer, basic service should be £220 ish and Oosh that’s gone up! If you DIY, just keep the receipts if next owner wants proof

Front passenger window operation
Does it behave the same when using the passenger switch/drivers (passenger switch) and key fob (long press unlock, will/should open all windows) If it does then it’s an issue with the regulator and should be covered by warranty no issues and fully expect them to reimburse your diagnostic fee, which you can either confirm with local dealer or ring Skoda customer services up and confirm first

Hesitation starting then Warning Lights
Hmm that does sound like battery issue but you changed it not long ago so shouldn’t be that but I’d get the battery tested somewhere first

USB read speed for music
You can pick up usb3 drives for peanuts these days and it’s backwards compatible

Missing Chrome Trim
Looks like top right there’s still a bit in there. Best place will be to call your local Skoda dealer Most likely this part number 3V0807834A2ZZ That is for “right” side and I can never remember if left is looking from the front of car or not

coolant type
New stuff is G12evo, if your car has G13 now you can mix but coolant will turn brown

Rear window spoiler loose on Skoda Superb Estate Mk3
I suspect you will need to take the cover off from the inside then you’ll be able to disconnect power and washer line Can you see the original 3rd brake light behind? I’m hoping previous person didn’t just remove it when fitting the new one and discarded it. Be good if you have the two original mini spoilers which original has and do away with the spoiler (unless you like it)

Rear window spoiler loose on Skoda Superb Estate Mk3
That’s rather unhelpful, like I said earlier I’d remove it personally for now until you know for sure the best way to fit correctly. If it is Skoda part then you should be able to remove it easy enough and still use original connectors and give both sides a decent clean

Rear window spoiler loose on Skoda Superb Estate Mk3
Hmm, I wonder if previous owner installed this https://www.kopacek.com/skoda/superb-iii/superb-iii-combi-genuine-skoda-autoas-roof-spoiler-in-monte-carlo-edition-black-magic-metallic#description Looks the same/similar If it is you can email them and ask for install documents and explain the issue you have

To be honest you can pull that off as it’s not a factory fitted one at all

Vibration noise from drivers door
Might be a right pain but if it was my car I’d take the door card off first then go for a drive and see if it goes. I take if you’ve removed the umbrella and made sure the huge cup holder area in the door is completely empty? It goes back quite far so hopefully just something in there

Used Superb from Dealer - Wet Floor
I’d say your gut is telling you something and always best to listen to it. If they can’t prove it did indeed come from a valet or open window then yeah get your money back

Should I buy
Are those wheels actual Superb ones? Not sure if I like them or not hmm Pretty sure I’ve seen them on kodiaq’s

Black badging?
They do the full black ones, but to me looks cheap Talking of costs the kopacek not at all cheap but don’t think I’ve seen complaints here from people but plenty of complaints of eBay specials

Superb 3 2.0tdi Coolant Refill From Empty After Engine Replacement
Just out of interest how do you bleed the system? My old Passat B5.5 you had to pull one of the pipes out a little bit going through the firewall until water come out of the hole on the pipe

Heating Issue
There’s good news and bad news… Bad news is official way is to remove the bumper Good news is when looking at the front of your car, it’s just below the left of your number plate Top right of my picture is the edge of my front number plate My fingers are big, not like King Charles’ though and if I wanted to I reckon I could get that off as the grille bits are quite big As you can see the grey part has some plastic tabs which will need to be pressed in and pull it back I imagine, might be handy to have 4 hands

Heating Issue
I’ll have a look at the repair manual, but not sure when. If it’s on my downstairs pc I’ll have a look shortly

Heating Issue
Not sure where it on a Superb but there should be 2 pipes going in through the firewall, feel this when the engine is up to temp and they should both be warm/hot. Pretty sure that’s a simple way of checking heater core, correct me if I’m wrong anyone. If all is well there then it could possibly be your actual hvac controls are duff, I’m guessing when you have your controls to 20oC then turn it to 25oC you hear the flap moving? Just wondering if it’s something simple like that and not sending the correct message, might even be worth removing hvac controls then plug back in and drive the above?

Steering wheel not centred, what next?
I’ve never owned a car with bang on centred steering, mine is also just to the right, but remember that most roads are cambered slightly to aid drainage. Mines enough to remember if anyone mentions it like you just have 😁 but I do not have uneven wear on tyres which is the main thing for me as I just live with it but it’s only marginally off
