Hi, for those maybe watching this, I simply started the engine (I had to move the car forward a bit anyway), then stopped it and left the key inside the car. I was able to jack it up sufficiently to remove the wheel to photograph it on inside to buy duplicate. No alarm.

Hi, last time I tried jacking up my 2022 Superb TSi Estate, the car alarm went off, how do I avoid this next time?

Thanks again Gabbo, the music issue was a common fault, or the driving assist?

Thanks for that info Shuggy, I only have their word for it as I can't see ET40 anywhere on that, so what part of the code do I need to see that denotes the 40mm offset when I take one of my wheerls off tomorrow?

Thank you Gabbo, I will book it in and see what they say. I'll report back here once I know.

Can anyone offer info on this? I have a few weeks of warranty left and would like to put this behind me. TIA

So what am I looking at here? This is the photo of the stamp from inside of that Ebay wheel, as in what number in particular has to match my wheels? I will take off a wheel tomorrow to get a photo of the inside, much like this one. I had no idea that there were so many variations, or are there? A quick goggle research mentioned the manual and drivers door jamb to get info, but neither have been any use.

Many thanks Shuggy. I'll pad out like you said. I do hate spacesavers. I just need to check definitively that this the right wheel(offset).

Sorry for late reply to this thread. I've decided to get a spare wheel and might as well get one the same as the rest of them. I've seen this on Ebay, it looks exactly the same as my other wheels, is there anything else I should look out for? I prefer having a full size wheel to one of those skinny space savers. I have a 2022 Superb SE TSi Semi-Auto eBay UKSkoda Superb MK3 Alloy Wheel 3V0601025C 7Jx17 F891 | eBa...Skoda part number 3V0601025C. 7Jx17 ET40. Skoda Superb MK3 Alloy Wheel. The wheel has marks to the finish.

Hi @superb316 is the link broken? I don't have the issue yet, but like to keep ahead of the game.

Hi all, I have a Superb Estate late '22 and I've had the orange light come up when it rains at times saying driving assist not available or similar sentence. I seem to remember hearing that this was an issue with these, but as I still have warranty on this car want to ask the question: Is there any point in getting the dealership replacing the sensor? The dealership did a service not long ago and even admitted that they had an issue with these sensors, if I took it in, I could be back to square one with a new one, if even they changed it or didn't and told me that they had.

Hi, I don't know if this is a model-related thing but I've noticed other Superb rear lights where the thin red "eyelash" parts of the lights (that are on the boot rather than the body) light up but mine don't. I still have some warranty so if they're meant to light up I'll want them fixed. already I've come across differences between my car, principally in the infotainment division, to others that appear to be defo model-related.

Thanks all for your input. The answer turned out to be simple, once thatis, the YT video that nta16 kindly posted a link to. It turns out that like my 2022 Superb, there is a rubber pull handle to close the boot, only mine had been chewed away by the previous owner's dog- so I didn't know there was one. I only found this out when I got into the boot via the back seats, and did the screwdriver trick to open the boot. Quite simply, because the boot had been closed for so long, the rubber seal had sort of stuck to the frame of the car enough not to be able to open with the hand outside, but once the leverage of the screwdriver had done its work, I could hear the seal unsticking bit by bit. I would never have thought of that so thanks nta16 for the link.

Many thanks Nigel, I'm going out now to try this-already forwarded on the Playlist. She's quite independent and is keen to learn, however I insure the car currently as she has no money, but expecting her to work from September once her master's is over, and to afford the insurance it's kept near me as Brighton is so expensive compared to here plus parking costs too!

It's a 2015 Fabia-no lever visible in cockpit, I've pulled down one of the rear seats and cannot see a lever

Hi all, my daughter's Fabia doesn't get used much as she's in uni far away, but today I insisted she drove it a bit otherwise things go wrong. I tried to put the tyre pump in the boot, but as I pressed the button to open it, a short whirring noise was heard but the boot doesn't open. Perhaps there's a method of releasing it from inside the car? I was thinking that maybe releasing it might free off whatever is stuck. TIA

Got one, great for the main caps, but effing useless for the locking nut, now I'll have to get another for that one or carry long nose pliers

Same here, only my Nightster has inner tubes, shame as if I get a puncture, there's no sticky rope for me. My Caddy van has enough weight in it to equal a Superb and a half-I still have faith in the sticky rope repair, maybe not as much if the tyre had only a small amount legal tread left, but as it was nearly new, I've risked it.

Thanks guys all good info. @Ootohere, yes of course, but the car is like new, and my first attempt to remove one of the caps with the wire spring thing ended up me putting 3 scratches in the nut well so I stopped and ordered the removal tool I think Gizmo mentioned. A boiler I can handle all day long but vehicle mechanics are a bit alien to me, just the minimum. Regarding the sticky rope system, yes, a temporary repair, but in the adventure biking fraternity I'm more familiar with, there are many records of people doing tens of thousands of miles on them, my Caddy has one such repair and I'm waiting until the tyre is worn before changing it as it has good tread, partly out of stinginess, and partly to see if those wanton claims by fellow bikers and truckers are true. It may come back to bite me, but at least the Caddy has a spare, so I can afford to risk it, so far I've had 4000 miles out of it.

Many thanks Gizmo, what's the nut size? Whereas not having a wheel you could assume there's little use having a jack-that little is specifically related to using a sticky rope system quickly without having to drive the car, albeit a little to rotate the wheel to find the offending nail/screw. Also, when using the pump and liquid system (which frankly I don't trust to repair a puncture unless someone tells me different) it would be useful not to have pressure on the wheel, and you can hand-rotate the wheel to evenly distribute the fluid? Like I said, unlikely I'll use that fluid system. On another note, I have a spare full size wheel I kept on my Volvo V70, what do I need to check in addition to the tyre size to know if it would do as a spare? TIA

Hi all, as I'm new to Skoda ownership, having bought my daughter a 2015 Fabia and myself now a late 2022 Superb, I was puzzled when opening the boot to find no jack. Now this is from a main dealer, secondhand but with only 6000 miles on the clock, it was only a year old when purchasing, hence my trusting all was in the car for safety. All I have in the boot in the expanded foam section is a towing point, wheel nut unlocking tool, a nut cap remover of the spring variety which is nigh on useless unless you don't mind scratching the allow wheels (I'll buy one of those red-handled removers from Ebay) and the fluid bottle and pump. Would I be right in assuming I should have at least a jack and brace? I discovered this because I'm taking daughter and friend to Glastonbury Tuesday night to the pick up point to wait for the coaches to entry gate, and naturally don't want anything to go awry, and having a long nut-removing bar from my old Volvo and 19mm socket on the end, I wanted to see if it would fit, noit even sure now if the wheel nuts are 19mm. There was nothing in the side pockets also, ( first aid kit etc) or the umbrellas in the doors but I can forgive perhaps those not being in a secondhand car. I do have a sticky rope system I have used on my 2018 Caddy van with success, but surely a jack is a pre-requisite? I have a caddy van jack as you've probably assumed, even a spare jack from my own non-ulez 2011 caddy van which has been scrapped, could either of those be pressed into service in the meantime? Thanks for your attention in getting this far.

Thanks, that's interesting as a little Goggling I did, if I did it right, said that the SE TSI S-A didn't list SatNav. Really, as I'm comfortable with TomTomGO it's more about being denied something I've essentially paid for, and if I were to sell in a few years, if I was due it on this car, I should get it anyway or just in case I forget my phone .

Cheers Warrior193, just for perspective, I bought the car from a Skoda/VW garage a couple of weeks ago and the salesman wasn't that knowledgable about stuff so I don't know what he knew or didn't know. In that light, when he said "oh this car doesn't have satnav" upon seeing that screen that I uploaded earlier, I was surprised that he said that after seeing the word "Nav" and seing the map appear on it, I figured why would they load that up if it wasn't available. Sure, I can use Android Auto, but the purpose of investigating this and the non-functioning interior rear lighting was because if there's something under warranty that can be sorted, I want to do it before I forget and/or warranty runs out. MIB3 I've not heard of.

Nope just a stereo-sized slot covered up and a weird 0 to * rotary dial that I've also seen under the armrest and have no idea what they do.
