I need new front discs and pads for my 2018 1.5TSi SEL but sites have the discs as either 288mm or 312mm. Can anyone confirm the size without me having to get them measured? As an addendum- has anyone had issues with front callipers? Last trip to the garage said the rear of the discs are rusty, whereas to the front face isnt. That to me is a problem with the callipers?

So thought I'd update this, sorry havent been getting notifications. Made the decision to change and have now sold the 280 and bought a 1.5 SEL Karoq manual. Yes I totally miss the power and space in the Superb, but love the high up seat position (used to drive a land rover and always liked that!) Only the other day I tried to fit my mountain bike in an realised just how much smaller the boot was. Oh well cant have everything. I did some MPG tests in the week before getting rid of the Superb and on my normal commute to work I was getting 26mpg on the way there and 24mpg on the way back. A run to pick my daughter up from her mothers, gave me 30mpg. I did the same runs in the Karoq (yes I know there are variables etc) and got 43mpg on the way to work and 38mpg on the way back. Daughter pickup is 49mpg. So definitely more economical to run. And tax and insurance is cheaper too so win win for that.

I'm looking at trading my Superb 280 in for a Karoq to try save some money on fuel. What sort of MPG are people getting? Probably looking at the 1.5TSi

I'm in a similar boat to you. I bought a April 2016 car, and the garage that I bought it from serviced it in October when I bought it. At the time I didn't know it had a service plan on it, its only when I went to buy a plan that I was told it already had one on. Same position - My service plan runs out April 22 so I can have a service in October 21 but not October 22. The way I see it is that if you want to get 2 services carried out (for free, technically) then I will get the car serviced in April 21 and then again in April 22. You could get the car serviced now and then in Dec 21 so you get 2 services out of them? Yes you will have to pay for a service in Dec 22 but thats better than paying for a service in May 22.

Really should update my profile to show the model, but I know the difference between maxidot and VC. Its the classic Maxidot from 2016 SE-L Exec. Thanks.

Nope not as easy as you thought. I'd like to display the radio station on the top of the display, where the nav arrow is - is this possible? I know I can have it display in the middle, but I like the digital speed there, and would like to know the radio station / track name etc, when using google maps on Android Auto. If it not possible then thats fine. I'll learn to live with it!

You're quite right. I miscalculated tyres size. Its too small. If you want 225 you would have to go up a profile size not down! I'd be sticking with the 235/45/18 as above.

Yes they will fit. They are very similar size to what comes as standard on my 280 SE-L. The offset is slightly different but should be ok. My tyres are 235/45/18 so again slightly different but they are ok. I've just put 17s on mine with winters and they fit fine too. Try willtheyfit.com to check differences.

Many thanks for that @e-Roottoot The car is 4 years old and 40k on it with a full Skoda history, although the Independent garage did also service it before I bought it. From memory the service on my old car at an independant cost £150 so it compares well. Cant believe a service doesnt include replacing an air filter - thought that was standard! (and cant believe the charge £45 to change it!) But guess I can replace that myself. Again anything they pick up on will be done by myself or my independant garage. I dont trust dealers to tell me when stuff needs replacing, but guess they should do a service ok. I wouldnt pay £462 for 2 services but I guess I would pay £306

Not sure if this is the right place, but just seen an advert for Skoda 2 year service plan for £12.75 a month or £306 for the 2 years. It includes: 1 x Oil & Inspection Service (with Pollen Filter) 1 x Oil & Inspection Service (with Extended Scope) Is that a good deal? I usually get my old cars done at an independent but as I've just got the Superb, might as well get a Skoda Stamp in the book! (not that they stamp a book these days!) Also what is included in the extended scope? Is it just a minor service and a major service?

Sorry I dont know. It was missing when I bought the car so they bought it and installed it for free to me.

Funnily enough that part was missing when I went to look at the car. Unfortunately cant help with the install as the dealer sourced one and installed it, but it does look like it just pushes in. That's also good to know @JR RS is i've been wondering about changing it to black too. Yours looks great. Am wanting to do the grill too, but might just swap that out for a Sportline one. Might be easier.

My 2016 SEL Executive has it. I was told it was standard.

I'm sure I'd read that USB was faster than SD so that why I went that route. Might have to find my 32GB SD card. I take it if I have a bigger card, that won't work? Also will try the FAT32 with 4k sector size. Thanks again.

Cheers. Looks like my 32GB stick is formatting to 28.6GB!
