Octavia 245 vs Superb 280 Engine Comparison
I have a stock 2016 Superb and I never see 40mpg average on my car. Also when I read reports from Stage 3 Octavia VRS owners even lower consumption numbers, I start thing maybe my car is having issues which it doesn't have any errors. where should I look how should I diagnose it? btw: Skoda service mostly says it is in good condition :/

Petrol leaks 280ps
I think I have same issue. I have this strong fuel smell at RR door all the time after I drive. I really didn't care for a long time but I start to get really low milage I think my good average since refuelling is around 18mpg(uk). My car is having around 147k km. I haven't change fuel pump/filter since I bought it was having 117k km. Today I tried to open fuel cap after I stop the car only for check the smell but I observe a fuel pressure there also while I was driving Today I start to hear noises around RR door. I think I might have same issue but again I didn't observe any fuel leak until now. Note: I never saw over 36mpg except highway with 100-90km/h driving.

Opened up Brake Ducts

Bilstein B6 DCC shock absorbers available at last
Hey @Carlston About shorter spring question I checked Eibach website, this is written for Eibach pro kit E10-79-012-04-22: Seems like it should be ok to use with B6 Damptronic. I also read on this blog post the same comment: https://drivetunemedia.com/bilstein-b6-vs-b8-what-is-the-difference/

Bilstein B6 DCC shock absorbers available at last
Hey @Carlston, I am shopping 1st time for shock observers and I am new to this. I don't quite understand the difference but since there are a lot of good reviews about Bilstein monotube tech, I wanted to benefit from it. Yes, I have DCC. Front: 3Q0413031AK, VB0315, Monroe, E4658702 Rear: 3Q0512009AF, Monroe, EM213301 Monroe find my part website: Monroe RideSense Electric Suspension, Front: C2516S, Rear: C1521S Bilstein Product Catalog: B6 DampTronic, Front: 23-254343, Rear: 20-267537 I understand about this but if not going for B16 DampTronic coilovers, this is the option. Also I search on web there are a lot of application with eibach pro kit springs. I want to have nice stance looking as well. but of course without loosing so much comfort basically I don't want to feel my kidney rocks. As I understand drop between standard height and Bilstein B8 is much more than Eibach pro kit, Which I wouldn't want that much of drop.

Bilstein B6 DCC shock absorbers available at last
I am curious how is the difference between monroe dcc and bilstein b6 ride comfort on normal or eco mode. What I want is to get rid of boat feeling but on the otherhand I don't want to loose too much from comfort. Should I go with monroe dcc + eibach pro kit or bilstein b6 + eibach pro kit will be plus in any case? I am driving with original 19" rims.

Bloody Drivers Seat Memory!
Actually obdeleven does the similar but with all the functions seat goes front and up till the end then goes back and bottom. So probably this should work manually as well. I think @j caff you should try what @numskull said. I have read in multiple forums seat memory somehow loses default memory then this thing happens.

Glass roof cracked
Salut @Andrei_Spataru, I have a same crack as @Redboy has. I have a same model from 2016. Did you bring it to Skoda service? I learn like it will cost somewhere around 3000 lei. But I am also thinking to use black silicon for a while to just avoid rain. Did you repair it?

Canton - noise cancellation
Do "noise cancellation" feature exists at 2016 L&K models as well? As I know there were no option "Acoustic windows" on 2016 for Superb L&K.
