Years ago (2006!) I had the same issue on a brand new Octavia vRS, carpets completely sodden. Turned out to be a kinked drain hose from the A/C. Your car looks great by the way👍

What would owners replace their superb with?
dan123 replied to Whenwillilearn's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
I currently have a 150 SEL Exec, 3 years old 90k miles. Ive always liked Skodas, I’ve perviously had an 03 mark 1 Superb, an 06 Octavia petrol vRS and an 08 mark 2 Superb. In a couple of weeks I’m moving back to BMW with a 530e PHEV. I’m very fortunate to be a user chooser company car driver and the BIK rates on PHEV make it a bit of a no brainer. If the Superb PHEV had been ready I’d have taken a look but no sign of it. -
Suspension knock - can't believe what I found!

Push the ACC leaver towards the front of the car, ACC info will be replaced by the odometer.

Front Tyre Wear.... quick wear rate (150bhp tdi)
dan123 replied to RickTT's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
It would be interesting to hear how average mpgs compare alongside tyre wear. 150 TDI, 18", 6mm left all round on 18500 miles! I average aprox 52mpg, think I'm a bit of a granny. -
Aircon - how effective is it?

I liked the different fan speed option (low/high) for the auto setting on the Mk 2 Superb, I thought my Mk 3 didn't have it......I know RTFM! which I will now go and do. -
Personally I agree, I think moon has a mushroomy/bluey hue. However it seems that different people "see" the colours differently.

Manual 150, long term average 52mpg. Yesterday I drove 110 miles from the Midlands down to Bristol, M42, M5. Adaptive Cruise set on 75 or 80 most of the time, often travelling slower due to traffic. Long stretches of managed motorway and road works (average speed check) with 50mph limit so cruise set to 56mph. Arrived showing 66mpg for the journey, amazing car!

cnc linked to my thread, all I can say is that on my manual the auto hold (standard) does exactly what I want, it holds the car as my foot transitions from the brake to the accelerator on a hill start. I still don't understand what the £100 option of hill hold would add! Would love to be enlightened!

......and that was the photo, seen on here that led to my colour and wheel choice!

Yes, that's right Birmingham. Now to be honest I chose Candy White as I would have to have paid a monthly upgrade for Metallic! But now, IMHO, if you like white then go for Candy, Moon is certainly more unusual but it's not really white! Mine looks stunning when clean, very happy with it.

I was at the dealers yesterday and as I left I saw a Moon White Superb so I backed my Candy White up to it and took these pics. Both had a sheen of dirt but I thought it could be helpful to future choosers, I know it's been discussed on here a few times. Moon white on the left, Candy white on the right. Dan

I'm also on my third diesel Superb (a Mk 1, 2 and now 3) covering in excess of 160k miles. I've always used the cheapest diesel (usually supermarket) and have never had any DPF issues. However they have all been company cars so it's not my problem of I run into trouble!

190bhp versus 150bhp, no option of test drive
dan123 replied to BennyS3's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
I have a 150 manual, I've come directly from a BMW 520d which I think is 183hp and before that a 170 Superb mk 2. I find the 150 is smooth and strong, feels as powerful as the BM. The only thing I don't like about the car is that I find it a bit loud at anything above 75mph, feels like it needs an extra gear to settle into the cruise.
