Hi Pete, My coolant was pink after the job was done. Mechanic said he flushed about 15 times (could be exaggerated but obviously lots of flushes). I'd probably ask to have it flushed again asap if in your position

Mine is ineuro....Ireland. I didn’t have to replace the mini rad behind the dash for the aircon.... some do. Maybe that explains the price difference?

Hi...yes mine was oil cooler failure. Needed replacement.....several flushes and a new reservoir bottle, and a new rubber tube. All in cost me €900. Any other questions just ask...

Appreciate all imput.....just waiting for confirmation.... mechanic can't take in for couple days.

Ok thanks will find out tomorrow for sure

Hi Pete, I'm looking around the forum trying to get info. I have a 2017 2.0 tdi superb and just recently noticed oil in coolant reservoir tank. Doesn't appear to be water in oil, car seems to run fine. Only reason I checked was I could hear water noise while in the driver seat. Any suggestions or advice would be very welcome! 👍

Tbh, I don't know for sure, friend had a look and this was his suggestion. I suppose the cause still has to be confirmed but I'm assuming wherever the leak is coming from obviously needs attention along with having system flushed. Appreciate all imput advice thanks

I apologise.. .heads a bit fried atm..its a 2.0 tdi superb 2017

Hi it seems my oil cooler is leaking oil into my coolant. Can anyone advise costs involved etc? Im based in Dublin, anyone able to recommend someone for this job? Thanks in advance

Thought as much. If it turns out to be the altenator, on other cars I used to get an over the counter swap for a reconditioned one....that ok with the superb? Thanks again

Hi, just got this message on the dash tonight. I'm assuming either the altenator or battery needs replacing? Anyone experience this one? Thanks in advance 👍

Hi Roy, big jump in power there, make sure to ease into it. ✌️ Best of luck with new addition!

Welcome! Good luck with the new Karoq. 👍

Good news! Apparently "a plug" had become disconnected, and that was the issue. Guy in skoda said there is a plug which connects to the gearbox which controls the electrical functions (I personally wouldn't be familiar with it), but seemingly it became disconnected. He was quick to say his guys normally wouldn't remove it when doing the gearbox oil change, but it seems to much of coincidence to me, anyway sorted no charge.....so gotta be happy with what might have been 👍

Yeh front wheels

Thanks. Getting towed to skoda shortly. Will update thread later in the week. Think they look at it Wednesday morning 👍

Thanks Roottoot. Re the battery, do you mean a new one hopefully could solve the problem? Obviously the leak needs investigation too though..

I'm a novice at this kind of stuff. Clutch DMF went before Christmas, I simply went to Clutch and gearbox place....and they repaired it. Gearbox oil wasn't due for replacement at that time. Fell due recently so had it done then. Apparently the wet Clutch had been done approx 50,000k earlier.....seen documentation of that. Thought that strange, but like I said I'm a novice!

Clutch done at different place. Car apparently has wet Clutch and DMF. Went to main dealer for gearbox oil change as it was on special offer.

Quick update.... Car no longer drives forward, every time I start up and put into drive, soon as I try go forward fault comes up straight away, although, when put in reverse...seems to operate fine? Will try to upload 5 different screenshots of the warnings I get...hoping someone can give me some information.

Thanks AP! ✌️

Thanks for replies. The car is a 6 speed auto. The clutch was only done 4 months ago. I'm assuming gearbox not totally gone...if car still drives albeit intermittently between malfunctions? While reading through some stuff last night, one article I read seemed to suggest the gearbox warning and engine management warning aren't really connected and mentioned possible battery replacement, that weak battery could cause issues. Is this possible? I realise it needs to be diagnosed, just as it's now Sunday....its a waiting game 😇

Hi, having searched the superb forum I can't seem to find the issue I'm facing so I'll throw it up here and see how it goes. I drive 2017 2.0 dsg auto 150bhp. It has 230,000k on it. I recently had gearbox oil changed about 2 weeks ago. Just to include all details, work was done everything seemed fine, although the guy (main dealer)....said they noticed small leak from the gearbox. As I'd had no issues, I thought I'll have a think about if I need to have it checked further. Anyway, driving the car today, was at low speed and went to accelerate, it was like it jumped out of gear, and immediately got warning message saying gearbox fault, pull over safely. Did so, turned off the engine then restarted it, and message disappeared. However soon as I repeated accelerate....it happened again. Then, a third time the same again. So I restarted again and drove slowly back home. The engine management light came on en route too! Any suggestions? Thanks Mark.

Hi my name is Mark, obviously new here. I'd like to share whatever knowledge we have collectively and hope I can be of some help to someone. I drive a 2017 superb 2litre dsg auto!
