Yes will replace with cheap For now and keep An eye out for a cheaper one. Was considering adding bsd but will probably add the one in the mirror cap.

Have you run a check for fault codes?

No worries. That’s the joy of a forum. Everyone gets to chip in and you learn a lot! Fingers crossed the wheel works as I hope!

The trouble with wreckers now is they all see the prices achieved on eBay so there’s no bargains anymore. Getting there finally. Got a few more fix up jobs and cosmetic thing to do. Then I’m deleting AliExpress app!

AliExpress delivery day today for a few more upgrades. First off - battery clamp that I found was missing. Nice easy fit. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvpbmXk Black Sportline badges (not the best photo as it was getting dark) https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ey0q3ro Black mirror caps https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyOVXV4 Again a relatively easy fit. Although the glass takes quite a bit of force to remove. As @JR RS found, the Chinese copies have the middle fixing tab in the wrong place. But secure well using the two side catches. Unfortunately the passenger side didn’t go so well…. I was shocked at the price of the auto dimming glass. £300+! So I shall squint into a £25 non dimming version in future. https://www.carwingmirror.co.uk/skoda-superb-wing-mirror-glass/skoda-superb-wing-door-mirror-glass.html Also in the delivery was some spare trim screws as I seem to lose a couple every time I take out the arch liners! https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQd73PY

Hopefully Thursday I will get a chance to fit the black roof rails to finish the look. I shall put the links to the parts used in my project thread.

Is it on auto? Does it do it if in manual with a certain vent selected?

Ok. Seeing as I won’t be able to see them from inside I think I’ll return them once they arrive. Thanks

Will My part number work?

I want without heating round wheel. Phone button not view. And with dsg

The one I have ordered to try is listed for a karoq and part number 3V0419091AB. Without airbag so hoping mine will fit! But buttons and everything looks to be the same as my existing wheel just with dsg paddles added. It’s on free 30 day return so if it doesn’t work I can send it back. The 3V0419091M that I ordered had the order cancelled as they couldn’t find it in their stock apparently.

I think I’ll take a punt on it. 3v0 part number tends to denote superb alike. Looks the same. Seems to have the same buttons. And a lot of wheels are listed for all mqb ŠKODA models.

Does anyone know if a ŠKODA karoq wheel fits a superb 3? It looks identical from the pictures. I would be looking to reuse my airbag from pre-facelift round wheel. https://ebay.us/m/XfqGFE

I ordered a set of these from AliExpress but now having second thoughts RE insurance not liking them. Has anyone else had any issue?

It’s a wet belt in that it runs inside the oil but not the same issue as the ford eco boost engineers etc. no history of failure supposedly.

This whole forum is a bad influence on me! I’ve got 3 multi item orders from Ali express en route, a couple from eBay, one from Amazon and one from a parts breaker in Czechia. So plenty more links to come…

I used led bulbs from eBay/ Ali express for headlights and fog lights and they are brilliant so far. Links in my thread.

Have a look at this guide. These wheels seem to be slightly more available. Not sure if there’s a heated option. And you will need airbag as well as wheel I think.

Yup. All the wrong ones are ten a penny. You can fit the newer 2 spoke style if you match the components (view, heated etc) if you already have newer airbag. You then just need a lin adaptor to convert the signals. I think they are relatively cheap. If you find a wheel you like then @Cairus is the man to advise on connections to make it work

Ah ok. Might need some verification. Also missing some of the round ones but it’s good to have a list of most of them

Oo that looks good. Have you got a link to the page?

That looks like useful info but seems to be displaying as html on my phone

Unfortunately not. All I did was search eBay until I found what I wanted and zoom in on the part number stickers in the photos.

You need a fuse tap. Most dashcams come with them. They piggyback existing fuse positions

Flat bottomed, perforated leather. I’ve returned it through eBay unfortunately. It also smelt strongly of cigarettes so not ideal. But I’m guessing it will get relisted once it’s back in stock
