It’s difficult to say exactly as they were on the car when I got it. The history folder has 2 tyres fitted in June 2024 which I think were the front, but couldn’t say for sure as the rear are also Turanza T005 If they were the the fronts which I’ve just replaced, then I would have got 31.5K miles out of them. Personally, I’ve done around 23K miles on them.

I replaced my 2 front tyres this month, and was also a bit surprised to find them worn down to the threads on the inside edges 😬 They were Goodyear Turanza T005 which I’ve been quite happy with, so replaced them with exactly the same and had the tracking done at the same time. The garage said they’d found the tracking “only slightly” out. The fact they were so worn down on the inside came as a bit of a surprise as I’d been checking the tread depth regularly…will keep a closer eye on the inside edges in future. Mine are mostly motorway miles and I usually have them at 2.2 bar. I might try them at 2.5 which I think is listed as the “fully loaded” pressure.

No worries, hope you get it sorted 👍 Seems to be a VAG issue. I noticed that there’s even a steering lock emulator to get around this problem…but it seems to involve a bit of tinkering and still needs coding to the car.

Never had the issue myself….Have you had a look at this post?

Not yet unfortunately…Thinking of getting it priced up at my local dealers.

I’m convinced my drivers side rear trim was stolen too. 😡

Most people will advise to check your battery is okay, as in, does your start/stop work without issue? Door lock issues are a common fault, so it could just be that you’ve been unlucky with the replacement…I take it that you bought a 2nd hand part? If you went with the exact same part number, it could be that the part you bought is about the same age as the one that’s gone faulty. When I changed my rear door lock, I asked on here and a helpful forum member was able to give me the correct part numbers (there are many variants) I chose to look for the “latest” part number and found a 2nd hand lock on eBay from a 1 year old Taigo that had done very little in the way of mileage.

If you haven’t already, it might be worth trying a recalibration. (Link is for an Octavia, but the same process applies)

The OEM air quality sensors are made by Amphenol SGX Sensortech. The make a few different sensors that detect different gasses but the AZ65A seems to be the one most suited for air quality sensing in vehicles. They can be purchased from Mouser or Farnell for around £30+VAT which is significantly lower than the OEM labelled sensors...I wonder if they're a straight replacement? I've already replaced mine, but if it goes again...I'll probably give this a punt. SGX - SGX Sensortech Sensor

Check your engine code which I think is on your V5 document section D.2 The 190PS engine should be either CUNA, CUDN or CUVC which would be the 6th option down: “MQB, PQ26: Diesel DPF var.1”

Glad you got it sorted pretty quickly! 👍

A kind forum member helped me ID the correct part from my VIN…Have a look at my other post: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/533865-part-number-confusion/#comment-5956571

Think it was from a post on this forum. It might have been this one: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/489821-skoda-superb-mk3-service-manual/#findComment-5501012

Yes, it’s not too difficult once you find the correct part number. The lock is used across various VAG models. Mine came from a 2024 VW Taigo that had 16 miles on the clock…so virtually new and cost a fraction of the £200+ of a new one. I followed the workshop manual which describes hot to take the door card off and also watched a YouTube vid. There a giant plastic “bung” which you pull out to give you access to the lock from the inside. Remove that and loosen the two splined (not torx) bolts that you can see holding the lock from the outside when you open your door. A couple of Bowden cables that you need to remove and slot back into your replacement lock. Not too difficult, just take your time and ideally have someone to hold the door card once you’ve loosed it off just to give you a chance to unplug the speaker and window switch plugs.

@Breezy_Pete Thanks a lot for your help identifying the correct part number. 5TA839016P fitted at the weekend and everything works perfectly now. 👍 When I took the door card off though, I noticed the tweeter connector has been snapped off and glued back into place….Probably when the aftermarket lock was fitted. The wires to the tweeter have completely come away so the next job is to replace that.
