How the hell do i edit... Anyway my car is a Superb 67 plate. I ticked a Soft Reset when trying to code Audi throttle and some other codes, that might have helped?

My experience - had some power surge or drop of current that left my entertainment system frozen even after the car turned off. Blind spot and cross traffic would not calibrate code. Took to a garage to see if they can see issues, and it stated a malfunction on vcds when trying to manually force calibration. So got a vcds from a colleague to mess about with coding, checked the fault code. Done all the lights, boot lid beeping etc. Tried forcing audi mode for throttle response but it would reject it and lock the ecu, forcing me to restart the car. So miraculously this has reset the ecu and my blind spots and cross traffic started to work after months !!! I was literally on the way to a garage for them to investigate the issue and just thought id check one last time!! So friggin happy. So guys reset codes, ecu, dunno how, but it might fix the bug of calibration and sensors not working!

Anyone still driving around with a broken handle can try this.

Bruh, if your handle snapped, you can try this. I did this wonky diy repair yesterday and it works.

Thx Gav, Wouldnt mind pushing through the boot, but with Superb its so deep, that I have to climb into it to reach the lever. And I am 6'3"...

Hi All, Below you will find a solution to the handle snapping off from the ski hatch (common Skoda bullpoop for Octavias and Superbs). Mine was quoted 280 GBP for repairs as my 2017 superb was out of warranty. Should take 20-60 mins depending on your DIY experience and . I will post my thought process after the solution to not bore you. Just please, after you have unlocked the ski hatch, instead of pulling on the handle with all your might, push on the arm rest instead to pull the lid away from the seats ! It's a Wonky DIY fix ! SOLUTION - Make your own piston (fixing on a spring): I engineered a piston to pop out into the hole on a spring , securing the handle. I had a bracket intact on the right side, so was just the case of pulling it out to hold the handle there (after lots of messing about) Tools (basic): I had all of my tools in my toolbox (too lazy to go find my cordless drill), scavanged resources as I went: Nail of approx 50-60mm length, strong nail with a small head. Screwdriver , 2 screws approx 50mm long, 1 narrow and 1 wider core (to match or be wider than the nail) OR a drill with a narrow drill bit to accomodate the nail Small (or any really) wallplug which will tightly fit the nail (stop) old or any ballpoint pen spring (worth the sacrifice) tool to cut the spring any tool or screw to pull an existing right fixing (if it is intact, otherwise figure a static fixing yourself) Steps: See video or text below 1. Pull the right handle fixing out of the ski hatch frame with a screwdriver or any other way (hook screw for me). * If you have that broken off, just assess the situation and think which side of the handle you want the spring piston to be attached to. create a static fixing like a screw on the opposite side 2. Drill or screw 3 holes through the left* side of the handle (if your right side is sorted). TRY to align the holes in parallel to the handle face, as I had mine at an angle. Had to mangle a massive hole in the ski hatch frame. 3. Take a spring out of a ballpoint pen and cut it to approx 2-3 cm length. Can always adjust later. 4. Place it on your nail and slide the nail through the holes to see if it pops out after you push it in 5. cut a wall plug with any tool to have approx a 1cm section which will tightly fit the screw 6, place the plug in the large section of the handle and hammer the nail through it to create a brake for the nail, so that it doesnt fly out of the handle (ski hatch has a hollow frame) 7. check if your nail pops out but stays within all 3 holes for stability 8. expand the left hole of the ski hatch with a screwdriver or other tools to fit the head of the nail when it pops out 9. place the handle back into the ski hatch, first matching the right side, then the top ridge, then push the nail into the handle to contract the spring, and finally push the whole handle in 10. check that the nail has popped into the expanded hole, and if it didnt, make the hole bigger 11. Test a couple times if it all works, and enjoy your ski hatch again ! ============== P.S. ======== Sorry if you don't like the track on the video You probably understand my though process now. I thought that it would be nice to have some sort of a springed fixing (piston?) to attach to the handle , then inspected the handle, found a ballpoint pen in my toolbox, thought about a spring , found a nail, spring fit, had an idea. Tried it, worked. You are all welcome! and hope it lasts ! Love my Superb, although disappointed with Skoda for classing this as a Wear and Tear damage on a 4 year old car 😞 GOOD LUCK !

Hi everyone, not sure if you care, but i have managed to fix the handle myself. I will post the solution with pictures and video in a bit. Probably a new topic YouCut_20220415_202811849.mp4

Hi, My name is Nikolaj and I have purchased an October 2017 Superb MK3 1.4 Tsi 150 Dsg SEL Executive last week after months of research and digesting this forum. Seen all reviews in English and Russian on Youtube and now I am an excited owner of a Superb. I have a small family, only 1 child. But Her not being able to kick my wife's seat is pricelesssss. Bought the car for 14500 altogether from Arnold Clark dealership in Scotland. They have advertised only a couple of optional extras, and mainly i bought off the pictures seeing the reverse cam and a car on the maxidot, thinking its lane keep assist. After reviewing the picture of maxidot i realized it was park assist, not LKA so I was intrigued even more now. To my VERY pleasant surprise when driving it home i have found out that the car has Comfort mode, so DCC installed! Then i spotted a blind spot monitor, traffic light recognition. Things that i wouldnt mind being there would be heated screen, remote rear seat release and virtual pedal. It doesnt have Kessy but somehow I feel that i prefer the manual remote more. Im really impressed with the low frequency response of the standard stereo system, amazing. All in all, with only 23000 miles (38k km) on the clock and 9.2 inch touch screen, it being a business lease previously with a few tiny marks on alloy edges, i believe its a steal at this price. Just gotta clean and sell my 2010 Kia Ceed 😁 Looking forward at getting the VCDS cable and programming some must have features. Glad to be here.
