Done

Depends whether you're doing the labour yourself really and what you define as expensive eg: https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/starline-alternator-40144153s

I'll have that if they don't

Get the alternator tested as it sounds like it may be on the way out.

It's cast on the inside of the wheel. Yes, you have to take it off to find it. No, no-one here can decipher what sort of wheels you have on your car without some basic details or maybe a picture. I'm getting little britain OMG vibes here...

Dunno if this is any help to you at all https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/superb/sup/2016-851/1/

It'd likely help if you stated which engine this is

Test the battery first of all. Do you have a code reader or know of someone who does?

First question that needs an answer is how old is the battery in the car?

Would it be worth doing a full reset of the head unit before swapping out parts? Or a VCDS scan?

Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it. Off the top of my head you'd need the following: Set of Xenon Headlights with control modules Access to VCDS and/or Odis for coding purposes Probably other things needed too like levellers

I recently saw a possible 1000 miles from a full tank in my car. Once I knew it was possible I floored it back up to 70+ because life's boring going slow 😆

You have standard halogen headlights, previous pic is of Xenon headlights.

Now sold

Yeah, I know about the change which is part of the reason I didn't get mine done last year. Main reason I got it done was to not push my luck Would still like to see evidence of the 'weak' claim as per @stevetdci

Do you have evidence to back that 'weak' statement up? FTR, I had my timing belt/water pump changed at the end of April at 126k miles and they were original.

Wee catch up on this. Filled up on Thursday morning and hit the road to Holyhead. Having covered 240 miles, the tank range was showing 759 miles remaining so there's no reason not to be able to get a thousand miles out of the tank.

Think it's been longer than that!!

Fitting new blades and having a streakless windscreen brings me immense joy 🤣

Damn! Those springs keep on breaking eh? 🤣

Once the engine dies it will not restart whilst hot. This happened to me in a Vx Signum. Coughed and spluttered for a sec at 50mph and on I went. Slowed down for rush hour traffic and the car died, right as the two lanes merged into one meaning I had cars going round both sides of me, I identified as a traffic island for a while. Breakdown called and they alerted the police (I obviously needed more people staring at me) who kindly got me to a side road. Breakdown arrived after 45 mins and I explained the symptoms only to be told I must be out of diesel (3/4 tank). Fecker jumped in and the car started first time!

@ReaF Do you have VCDS? I'd say your best bet is to take dome live data and try to recreate the issue when driving, it'll capture something. I'd have suggested crankshaft sensor too but they tend to break down under heat and it takes a lot more than a few minutes before starting becomes possible again, up to 1/2 hour in my experience. As to the oil usage, if there are no obvious leaks then you need to do a compression test. Also, as stated by @Warrior193, test the battery on crank rather than resting. Curious to know why the dealer replaced injectors too, was there a fault code on them?

You need to be a Freedom member to do that.

Nice easy install, thanks @bigade1

Assuming it hasn't got bluetooth as there's no phone button.
