Plug says only VAG NGK H15Y 06090560IE There is also an 'R'

Finally, after a long time procrastinating on the issue (partially I had a reason, I got another "project" back on the road 😁) I've managed to remove the coils and plugs ... 3 out of 4 coil boots gave a good fight, but I won without even damaging them, which is a plus. This week I got a set of RacingLine HO coils, there is a local dealer/authorized point, souns like reasonable fellas, so I plan to visit them sometime and ... "talk". Could be a dangerous talk! The coils were 240 euro shipped, think I good price. Anyone wants to comment on the condition of the plugs at 62k km? They look fairly fine to me .... but is the first time I see 'em 😄 Should I replace them with same kind or there is any improvement available? Car does not have any issue that I am aware of.

Did you find the key? 🙃

Sorry about the fauna attack! 🙃 No, unfortunately on newer cars you got no way, you got to remove the mechanism and for this you need to get the glass out. The videos you have seen are correct, there is usually one only position to allow the glass to be disconnected, wether is by means of a screw or sometimes a clip - I would not know. Check in the "projects" section if someone has done work on the doors as a reference.

Uhm ... since "we" were first, then "wishtleblower" more adequate 😁 Sorry for deviating the topic 😄

Oh man ... I've got tinted/smoked standard and the screen adds to it. I was actually thinking to add an UV film to it, but I need to get my guy to it, which will not happen anytime soon ... Now that I remember, viewing through the rear window gets a bit used to, but no big deal.

That you are not native English speaker is not the problem, you do write well ... heck, your tutorial for the Haldex is great - so do not worry 😉 The BIG problem is that you are a traitor and have abandoned us as a Superb owner, so every time you come lurking again here, you lose a bit of connection with our reality, hence you are mixing up the words 😄😜🤗

Just seeing the emoticon and smileys you can "age" the participants to this topic 😁

As for the parts themeselves, this gets tricky .... parts diagram, at least one online I can see, is not very clear: https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/851/8/804/804000 https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/851/8/867/867081 I am not sure how to help, sorry.

Well, I can guarantee the panel is different, as the "hole" for the luggage compartment is different. I've found a car for sale so I can show a couple of shots of it:

Good! Well, if the glass moves up and down, then the mechanism is not "destroyed", but it should not be very hard or difficult. This could point to a problem in a guide, or part of the sliding aspect of the mechanism. To be verified, you do need to play with it up and down and see .... Now that the motor is detached, it could be interesting to plug it in, and see if pressing the switch moves the motor. I believe this can be done safely, the motor should have some 'memory' that needs to be resynch anyway ... here we need someone that has already dismantled the door, there are a few ones around here ... I recommend all these tests to be done after darkfall, for two reasons: 1) air becomes cooler as sun goes down 2) the possiblity for being mistaken for a car thief increases, which will make the neigbours happily entertained when Police comes with blaring sirens and surrounds you ... just hope you don't get tased or shot (well, you're not in the States 😄)

Usually this is fitted either for addressing vibration, noise, or protection of a component behind it. Sometimes they are just "packed in", sometimes glued, sometimes held with a clip. Lack of it on the other side is difficult to assess - it can be a deliberate design, for only the area needed (according to the principle of "maximum cost reduction" 😄), or, most likely, with time, the miles, or the mighty hand of someone that has worked on the car in its life, it has become lost ... 😄

Believe, the sun screens are a great advantage, from heat protection and also for some privacy aspect ... only problem with it, the clips that hold it are a bit flimsy ... and a funny shape. After hearing the "klin klin klin" once or twice, now I am very careful when comes time to take them out ... and if I leave the car for wash/detailing, I actually do it myself. I got the floor mat, and is great also the rubber/weatherproof part, the only drawback is that is heavyyyy .... if you need to access the lower part of the luggage compartment, better to take it out and put it aside. I've tried a few times to lift the vario floor together with the mat, and boy it proves your muscles ... 🙃

Always! This is something the majority of briskodians on civilized countries do not know in detail ... ah ah 😁

Binx above is correct. As long as the motor is connected to the mechanism, even if the former or the latter are broken, they are "jointly" in this. I admit I have never opened the Superb yet, but I had a few times to replace partially or entirelly the mechanism, and you need to disconnect the motor from it. Once you get the motor out of the way, you can move the glass manually - start slowly by few increments, until you detect what is wrong. If a lateral guide has failed (the vertical ones that guide the glass up and down), you will sense the glass moving at an angle, or locking on one side at it wedges on the guide. Careful that in case the glass shots out of the guide, it could fall or hit the metal, it should not shatter, they are stronger than that, but do not risk. In case the slider of the mechanism, usually plastic, has failed, you need to force it into a place where you can see how to split it apart, freeing the glass from the mechanism. Overall is not an easy task, space is limited, and so on. What a dream old Audis where ... the glass could be detached together with the mechanism and the door top frames separately (Imagine the old Land Rover doors in two parts) ... fix it on the table and put everything back together at once ... aah. They were a pain to align though 😜
