Having just looked them up for my own car, the paint code for Business Grey is supposedly F7M/2C2C-. (for reference I've got the same car in Emerald Green which is LG6Y/2A2A) As always, test the paint for a match before putting it on the car. And don't forget the primer and whatnot

The used 2020 Superb PHEV (1.4 TSI, DQ400E) I just got has quite a few miles on it (160k km), but pretty meticulously serviced (I got all the past checklists too) - and they changed the DSG oil already at 50k and then again at 100k, but oddly enough, not at 150k. From what I can tell it's supposed to be changed at 60k km, so it's due now. OTOH the checklist used at the 50k service specified the DSG oil volume to 7 l (should be 5 l) so the shop in question got confused on which gearbox it was on that occasion, and possibly confused about the service interval too. Anyway, apart from the DSG oil I just did the rest of that service myself. After 60k since their last change, the old spark plugs look quite good; clean electrodes, I measured the gap on the old ones to > 0.7mm and <0.8mm meaning little if any electrode deterioration. So no need to replace them any sooner than the 60k interval on this model; if anything it's a pretty conservative number. Which makes sense as it's the same interval for the petrol-only 1.4 TSI even though the engine won't be running for a decent portion of those miles in the hybrid.

Hi, Haven't had that issue on my Skoda but I've had rear wiper issues (and they're fairly generic components). Most likely answer would be water ingress causing rust (or dirt) screwing up the gears mechanism or motor itself. Either that or a broken tooth on the plastic gear in there. 'Exercising' the part a bit can help in the short-term if it's dirt/rust but long term it'll likely need replacing; the motor-gear unit is about €120 new (cheaper for a used one but I'd go with a new one in this case, since you don't know what a used one looks like on the inside; they may look good externally but be on their way to seizing up from rust). A budget option would be to take it apart - clean out the old grease and any dirt and rust, make sure the gears and electric contacts are working, put in fresh grease and put it back together. I've done this myself (again, not on this specific one though) and it wasn't terribly hard but IMO not really worth it unless you like tinkering - especially considering it won't even work if something is outright broken. In either case, replacing the unit isn't too hard as far as DIY jobs go - removing the wiper arm can be tricky if it's stuck (I saw threads here on people having issues there - using a bearing puller seems like the right way to go if it won't come loose) and remove the trim on the inside (which you can find videos of) and then unplug, unscrew it and then repeat the process in reverse. The kind of nice simple job that'd take half an hour if everything went smoothly and invariably takes the whole afternoon because there's always something stuck or you can't find a tool or..

Hi guys, First-time Skoda owner in Sweden here - just got a 2020 Superb estate hybrid a few weeks ago. I always wanted a station wagon but my wife wanted a small car - but with another recent addition to our family she had to give up on that. Long story short, I got myself an emerald green Skoda Superb iV hybrid from 2020. (and yes, the color was a significant factor in choosing it - I like green and it's a stunning shade) Quite happy with it so far - a bit more km on it than I'd have wanted but the condition is good and service record impeccable. Only issue I've found yet is that the charging flap actuator is stuck in the closed position, but with the flap open. So you can still charge it (probably why the previous owner didn't have it fixed) but it's a mild annoyance. Searching for solutions brought me here - as did pretty much any search for maintenance related issues, so I figured I might as well join. (sad resolution though since it turns out that although the actuator is cheap and easy to swap out, doing so requires removing the whole front of the car!)
