Chain tensioner check.
aero-hot replied to Jonnyhatesjazz70's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I think you must be confused. Its a complete chain, (both), guides and tensioners, manifold off, gaskets replaced the lot. I'm a truck driver for a large car supermarket and the price quoted beat their price and the main agent by a few hundred pounds. Autodata quote 8hours labour. -
I'm fairly sure from memory it's the GFBT9351, mines the 2.0tsi CCZA block which I believe is found in some TT's and Tourags. Weirdly they don't list one for the Superb but I think they're the same for almost any 2.0 tsi. I'll check the exact part number when I get back home (sleeping in the lorry for a few days).

Hi, standard DV, no noise from this one at all. You can read about them on the Go Faster Bits website. I think I had a slight leak before.

I replaced mine with the GFB one with the stronger internals. No issues whatsoever, would definitely recommend.

Superb blower intermittent issues
aero-hot replied to Andy21566's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Replace the blower motor, mine did the same thing. Ignore tall stories about cleaning and oiling, it doesn't last. -

Replaced mine as a matter of course. £1400 to do all in but now has the later revised parts. Peace of mind. -
I had exactly this and was driving me absolutely crazy, I could not believe it when TQC in Stoke found out that the problem was the fuel lines underneath were vibrating against each other, as they initially thought it was coming from the front of the engine. once removed and wrapped in fabric or loom tape the problem was solved.

Just replaced my blower motor, did exactly the same thing, worked intermittently for a few days, water gets into to the internal connections and corrodes them, for the price, it's just simply not worth trying to clean/oil/repair as the problem just returns and the parts are cheap enough. Even with a new part, it will happen again in a few years.

Yep, although I didn't do it, I bought one of these, there's a few colours left....http://www.kopacek.com/Skoda/SUPERB-II/Superb-II-front-upper-grille-lid-painted-in-original-Skoda-colour-ROSSO-BRUNELLO-F3X-Monte-Carlo

I've seen these in 18,19 and 20" now, I think the Audi Q5 had some version of them, I've put 235/35/19 tyres, speedo is pretty much the same as before.

Yes,I didn't realise you were so far North, or you could have borrowed my spare set of Thermistos. I've put RS6 alloys on mine as they are 19" so not too hard. Needed 10mm hub centric spacers all round though for clearance. They look like they were designed for the 3T as the width of each "spoke" is the same as the chrome door strip and lower tailgate strip and they line up almost perfectly too.

Superb reversing lights not good! UPGRADE??
aero-hot replied to D4KGP's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Hi, I got these from eBay, but to be honest a few places sell them, just use Google and go to a seller that looks trustworthy. -

aero-hot replied to D4KGP's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Personally, I've found the only really decent bulbs are the PIAA extreme white ones, not led so no error codes, but at £35 a pair they're expensive. Fitted them to my estate and they look like LEDs and give off a decent light. -
I've used these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392589319990?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3zK2gFlUQ72&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=ETR_yFQpS3S&var=661554062273&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

A good refurb of the standard alloys or something from the VAG parts bin maybe 🤔.
