ok, lol, I had cleaned the contacts and checked for plastic covering on the battery before, but now I really pressed the battery around in the holder and the red light did start coming on. So I have closed the case and hope it stays working. But I suspect something is loose inside, we will see. The clips etc all look good though in there. weird. Thanks

So a warning came up on the dash to change the keyfob battery, so I changed the battery and pressed the buttons and the red light came on (indicating it was working)...a few days later I go to drive the car and cannot unlock the car with the fob and the red light now is not working when I hit a button. So I put in a few other batteries/brands etc and still the red light does not come on. I looked around youtube and here, tried pressing a button, opening the door manually with key, then inserting key in ignition. That did not work. Is the fob now dead? I assume if a working battery is inserted then the red light should come on when pressing a button, regardless, or am I wrong? Thanks

I paid 140 total for 6L of the VW original fluid, came out to around 23 euros/L. Did not buy the Meyle fluid/kit.

ok, thanks for the replies...I found a seller on ebay offering six 1L bottles for 140, so at around 23 euros per bottle for VW oil, I went ahead and bought that. Hopefully it is not fake lol. It is from a seller in Germany so probably ok I hope. All unopened with 2027 dates on bottles.

It amazes me that in Germany, this stuff sells for 35-40 euros, but in the U.S. it sells for closer to 20! ugh, anyway, if anyone knows a cheaper EU source please tell me. Otherwise, thoughts on Meyle? This is with kit 100 135 0116, which their website says is compatible with my car/transmission, but I also see on the oil (ATF DCG II) it shows models of other transmissions as well. Thank you!

Thanks, I was afraid of that lol.

2018 Superb III Kombi Hello, I'm troubleshooting an issue where my driver (left) door doesn't reliably unlock. Seems a common issue is a broken wire in the wiring shown that runs between the door and the body. Trying to pull out this grommet but it's not coming easy and I don't want to break it. It's the side that does into the actual door. Any tips? Thanks

Thanks, I'll look into servicing the DSG ASAP.

No, just the pump itself.

Hello, I live in Germany and my family purchased a used 2018 Superb Estate 2.0TDI recently, with 110,000KM / 70,000 Miles on it. It seems up to date on what Germany Skoda/VW states as service intervals. They said the timing belt doesn't need replacement until 210,000km. I purchased the car from a Skoda/VW dealer and they printed out the service history for the car: Originally sold to first owner in May 2018 Aug 2019 @30k km: Oil change and checked water drainage July 2020 @60k km: Oil change, "Dust and Pollen filter", checked sunroof, checked water drainage June 2021 @80k km: "Action 48P3 performed" I've googled and don't know what this is, maybe a service bulletin/recall? July 2021 @93k km: Diesel fuel filter, air filter, brake fluid service (doesn't mention an oil change but hopefully since it was a the 30k interval) Nov 2022 @107k km (when we purchased it): Dust and pollen filter, brake fluid service, checked sunroof and water drainage. They also changed the coolant water pump at this time. What would you recommend I do to the car at this point? I own a VCDS, maybe check soot levels in the DPF or should I pull off anything to check buildup on diesel components etc? It looks like a dry clutch? 7 speed DSG, so nothing I can do as far as maintenance, correct? Thanks
