Had my mot at skoda yesterday and on the health check thing they picked up that both front tyres have uneven wear. 2mm on inside edge and 5mm on outside. Have been told that it will need 4 wheel alignment but also that the adas system has to be recalibrated at the same time. They can't do it at my local skoda and would have to send it up the road to vw but couldn't give me a price at the time. I've since contacted 2 other places that do it and it's coming in around £280. So my question is first of all does the adas system really need to be done at the same time? It was only recalibrated last year when the front window was smashed by debris flying up off the road. Also I read somewhere that after suspension work it should also be recalibrated. Car had front suspension mount and spring replaced within the last 6 months by skoda under warranty so shoukd it also not have been done then?

Ended up being covered by the warranty so didn't cost me anything but only after I argued. Think originally they said around the £400 mark but needed a new top mount as well.

I've had cars before with springs that have gone but none under 100k. Maybe I've just been unlucky.

I've got a 2018 superb estate l&k. Bought from skoda at 3 years old. Within the first 6 months I pulled out of a car parking space at low speed and heard a massive bang from the wheel. Luckily under warranty, turns out spring had snapped and also the shocks were also weeping. Shocks and springs therefore replaced on front of car. Last night while driving at again low speed over a speed bump I believe the left hand side front spring has again snapped. Took put the skoda extended warranty so expecting this to be fixed again but I find it amazing that the spring has broken twice in the space of a few years and the cars still only done 65k miles. Is there an issue with the quality of the springs or something as I'm now worrying about keeping this car going forward, if it's gona need new front suspension every couple of years.
