Bulgaria. It is a TDI, yes. Regarding "Poor Oil," it actually refers to the fixed service interval, not the LongLife one. I'm not sure why VAG labeled it as "Poor Oil," but the difference is that the fixed interval is 15,000 km, while LongLife is 30,000 km. As for the oil itself, I believe "Poor Oil" refers to the service regime rather than literally meaning that lower-quality oil is acceptable. Personally, though, even 15,000 km is waaay too long for an oil change. 🫠

Bringing this thread back, as I've done quite a bit of experimenting with the car's coding. It turns out that changing only the SIA max value for the oil service and the FIX max value for the inspection with poor quality oil set did the trick and allowed me to set the service interval to 10,000 km. Everything else is set to 15k.

Ah, i see ☹️ .. Thanks for the clarification.

Hello, For some time now, I have been trying to change the service interval on my Superb from 15,000 km to 10,000 km. The car displays the Service Reminder Status on both the infotainment system and the instrument cluster whenever a value other than 15,000 km is configured, regardless of whether the warning value is set to Warning Off. I have spent quite some time experimenting with different combinations of the maximum and minimum parameter values in ESI, SIA, and FIX, as well as combinations such as Good Oil and Poor Oil, in an attempt to change the service interval type from flexible to fixed. The reset button for the service intervals on the instrument cluster automatically changes the oil setting to Poor Oil, but the reminder still appears when starting or switching off the vehicle. I even tried performing the reset with the hazard lights switched on. The reminder only disappears when the service interval is set back to 15,000 km and appears when is close to 200 km. What are the correct steps to configure a 10,000 km service interval and a reminder for 200km left till service, and where am I going wrong with the parameter combinations? Best regards,

Hi nikokin, In my case, the issue is most noticeable when making a U-turn or slowly climbing an incline, where the AWD system engages more aggressively compared to driving at higher speeds. The vibration feels like a large mobile phone vibrating underneath the car, mainly in the center and rear of the vehicle, with no noticeable vibration coming from the front. When I inspected my driveshaft, the rear rubber flex disc (guibo) was in terrible condition, while the front one still had some life left in it. Based on your description, I would be more inclined to inspect the suspension components first. It may be that one of the suspension parts has started to wear out and is causing the symptoms you're experiencing.

Hello everyone, Recently, I had to replace both the front and rear CV joints on the prop shaft due to vibrations coming from the AWD system. While inspecting the driveshaft, I noticed that the center support bearing (carrier bearing) is completely worn out and has excessive play in all directions. Has anyone here gone through the procedure of replacing the center support bearing on a Skoda Superb Mk3 2.0 TDI 4x4? Is the bearing available separately, or does it only come as part of the complete driveshaft assembly, as most sources seem to suggest? I would appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or recommend a suitable replacement solution. Thanks in advance!
