Hi all, just a bit of advice needed if anyone can help. My bracket for my radar on my 2016 2.0tdi technology superb has broken on two of the arms. Searching on ebay and it shows ones for passat b8, are these compatible with my car? The radar has the same part number as the passat one. Just wanted to double check before ordering. Thank you in advance

changed the battery and all is well so far 😊

Yeah, got vcds to let it know the new battery parameters

Hi, mine's still the original battery. We just replaced the wifes battery on her 1.6 golf which is 6 years older but has an identical one to mine. Her symptoms were consistent though so I was positive that it needed changing. Just strange why it's fine one day, knackered the next. I've ordered a new battery to cover all bases, just wondered if anyone else had had similar issue and it turned out it was something else. Thanks for the replies guys 👍

Hi guys, having an issue with my 2016 2.0tdi Superb Mk3 and after some advice. For a couple of months the car sometimes has had periodic trouble starting, takes a while to fire after cranking for what can be up to 5-6 seconds. Other times it starts up straight away, no issue at all. I stalled this morning and it would not start at all. Plugged in my jump pack and fired straight up, no problem. Drove home about 1/4 mile away and turned off ignition. I then tried to cycle the ignition four times and not a problem, started everytime. Does this point to a bad battery seeing as my jump pack starts it? or could it be something more sinister due to the fault occuring so random?? I do 60 mile journeys daily so the battery should be getting a decent charge. I have had it where the car has been sat overnight, starts fine, drive to work, sits for 12 hours, struggles to start. It's very uneven which is driving me potty lol Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated

I'll definitely pop in the branch I purchased them and make them aware of the issue so it won't affect anyone else. Thank you so much for the help and advice, top guys 👍👍👍

Thanks for that Pete, do you think it's safe to keep using the ones I've installed and just replace them with the correct ones when they fail?

I can't really take them back now that I've been using them lol

I should have just let the local tyre place rip me off, ignorance is bliss and all that 🤣🤣🤣

Here is my vin. What's the worst that can happen if they're incorrect? Wear out faster?? The car drives normal so far

And why would eurocarparts list it as suitable for my vehicle if its not compatible?

Thanks for the response, could it be that the original shocks I took off were incorrect for model? What are the issues with keeping the Monroe ones installed?

As I went to eurocarparts for the shocks, and they were listed against my reg I went with the Monroes. It was only when taking off the old ones to refit the new ones that I could see the oem number. My question still stands, will I have any adverse effect using the ones I have fitted?

My apologies, I don't know how I've ended up in the octavia section 😔 I have a superb mk3 2.0 technology spec. The shocks I've removed appear to be labelled as coming from the Octavia model and not the superb. At least this is what it seems like looking around. I will look for my vin tomorrow in the daylight. Thanks all for at least reading. Can someone with more experience move this to the Superb subsection?

Thanks for the reply JR, the oem number I wrote is definitely a VAG one, but it looks like it belongs to the Octavia model when I've searched on google. I've uploaded the one I took off. I just want to make sure that there's no problem with the set I've put on
