Thank you for the heads up 👍

Thanks again Marky 👍 I just googled the changes for the slider mod and have to say it read like a foreign language to me. Sounds like it would be a nice option if someone provided the service in the UK but the thread I read seemed to suggest it wasn’t available. Have a great Christmas 🎅

Sorry, my bad, I should’ve said that in my OP. There is a little firming in the sport mode but certainly not enough to stop it feeling like I’m on a cross channel ferry in stormy weather alas. Are you suggesting just replacing the rear roll bar or are there after market items that will improve things further? I’m thinking after 94k miles it’s probably going to be tired in various areas so agree prob worth me getting it assessed by someone with better skills than me just bouncing on the corners. 😀 Cheers

Thanks for your input 👍 I think assuming that they originals are not serviceable then it’ll prob be a case of going down the B6 route, although as I will be loading the estate rear regularly I may look to get the whole set up assessed by a ‘suspension expert’ first to see what they think of the wear and tear across all components first and then go from there. Cheers

Thanks Marky. Assuming they are original then they’ve bounced through 94,000 miles. I have searched for other options and the price I listed was for the Bilstein B6’s DCC from different online sites which all show a discount from the RRP. The other option which I’ve seen since the original post is for what look like they may be direct replacements for the original shocks ie not updated, as follows- Fronts - Monroe C2516S £128.59 each Rears - Monroe C1521S £149.72 each which is certainly more reasonable to swallow assuming they should be good for the rest of the life of the car. 🤔

Hi. My new to me 2016 1.4 TSI SE L Exec estate is very wallowy when I drive it. I’ve seen on posts in the group suggesting that a change to the Bilstein B6 shocks make a significant improvement. The immediate downside is that they appear to be circa £1300 to replace all 4. Can anyone advise if the originals can be serviced / rebuilt as obviously a much cheaper option if possible? I have seen on previous MOTs for the car that there were advisories for signs of misting on the shocks. Having had a Quick Look at the front shocks I’m guessing they are the original Škoda items - They are black and I note a part number of SK48ZFv99 on them. All suggestions appreciated! Thanks

Thanks very much for your input! I’ll have a closer look and see if I can find a part number stamped anywhere on the broken bit and see where it leads! 👍

Hi. I’ve just recently purchased a 2016 Superb Estate1.4 TSi and the handle on the inside of the pass through hatch in the rear seats has broken (it can still be opened from the boot side fortunately), but does anyone know if I wanted a replacement if I can get just the plastic handle or if more is needed eg the full mechanism? Also, can this be sourced from a breaker or would I need to contact Skoda and their spares department? Thanks in advance.
