I want to check the seat heating elements in my 2010 Superb 2 Elegance. Can anyone tell me which plugs/wires on the bottom of the seat I need to check for continuity? My local Skoda agent tells me the elements are currently on back order because they are manufactured in the Ukraine.

The windscreen bonding can indeed fail, or be poorly installed. Just a thought, does your car have a sunroof? Blocked drains can lead to the channel around the sunroof roof getting flooded and coming out above the windscreen. Seen this on other VAG cars.

Still having issues with this. Anyone been here before, are there any specific circuits that are known to cause this problem on the Superb 2?

I ran a scan with VCDS, I am in no way proficient with VCDS, I just use it to scan for faults. Two codes came up, not sure if these could be the cause of the battery drain? There is a receipt for a replacement Columbus headunit in the history file, I believe this was a like-for-like swap but no idea if it either needed coding or was coded?

I put the original seat back in and I still have the same problem. Next step is to run a scan with VCDS to see if anything comes up.

It’s a new battery that was fine before I changed the seat. Easiest option seems to be to put things back as they were before the problem arose, it’s 20 minutes to change the seat. If I take a measurement it will show a drain and the first step will be to replace the seat anyway!

Ok I’ll replace the elements in the original seat, refit it and see what happens?

Ok that makes some sense. Both the old and new seats were electric/heated so I didn’t expect an issue. so if I re install the old seat would it come back to normal? I can replace the heating elements in the old seat and put it back it, that was part of my plan anyway. Or could I take the module out of the old seat and put it in the new one?

You can just ask the local Skoda parts department for the part number.

I have a battery drain issue on our Superb 2. From full charge and after sitting about 4 days there's not enough left in the battery to start the car. It's anew battery. It's a new Bosch battery fitted back in March of this year because the previous one was causing the same problem (I'm now beginning to wonder if there was a problem with the original?). Everything was fine with the new battery until a couple of weeks ago when I replaced the driver's seat (disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes in the process). Maybe there's a link between replacing the driver's seat or disconnecting the battery and something resetting. The driver's seat is heated/memory, I'm considering fitting the old one to see if this fixes the problem. I also have navigation. Any ideas please?

I need to paint the rear bumper on my 1.9 Greenline and therefore need the paint code. Before anyone says... I don't have the service book and the sticker on the boot floor which normally has all the options and paint code is also missing. Can I get it online anywhere from the chassis number as this will save me a trip to the dealers? Many thanks

I’ve been told elsewhere on the forum that it’s possible so I’m just checking to see if anyone knows how? I know a new immobilised chip is required but that’s a separate issue.

I know the key blade itself and the immobiliser chip are separate issues. I have a secondhand remote fob, same part number etc as the existing one. How do I code the used remote fob to my car? I’m told it can be done in VCDS but I’m nervous about messing it up, any help appreciated.

I have VCDS but I'm far from proficient with it, is there a guide somewhere and I can try the remote first?

I managed to pick up a used second hand key for my Superb 2 (actually I found it in a car at the local breakers), it's from the same year car and has the same part number. As far as I understand there are 2 parts to the key, one is a chip for the immobiliser and the other is the remote locking/unlocking part. The chip I understand will need some specialist help to program, but is there a way to get the remote parking first?
