I've certainly changed my habits as regards to the tailgate. I would open and close it at the beginning and end of every single journey to plug the rear dash cam into the 12v socket. I only plug the cam in now if I'm going to open the tailgate for something which is not that often ...

Maybe of use to someone but I've had both my struts replaced using my extended warranty in year 6. Would have cost over a grand apparently.

RTFM ! 😆 Try opening fully then press and hold the open button on the tailgate until it beeps. That should reset the height and it should be OK.... Hopefully ...

Cant say I noticed any difference at all when mine was done a few weeks ago.

Was for me i'm on year 7 still with Skoda Warranty

I think you had been very patient ! A certain Harry Enfield character springs to mind.

My 280 came with the manual version of this you have to activate it yourself via VCDS. To be honest it doesnt sound bad after activation even get the odd pop and bang... I've recorded a video so you can decide if you want it or not ma

You are of course correct though I should get off my arse and do it myself !

Yeah saw your guide it's very good but these days I don't have the time or the inclination to do it myself

Had mine done this morning by Autotecnic in Sheffield. Very professional outfit and they did a great job. I've booked in next week for the DSG ! The Haldex ! Wow it needed doing ! One change previously by the dealer who would not clean the strainer. Pictures speak for themselves ...

Took my dealer a couple of goes as detailed in this thread but its not happened again. I think you need to try another dealer.

That was another reason I didn't go for the L&K knowing I would probably be keeping the car for a while I thought the power tailgate was scary enough especially when I found out Skoda were charging about a grand to replace both !! Both mine failed close together last year hopefully these will last another 6 years ...

Cool !

Easy solution then dont buy a car with it 🙂

My first car was a Capri 2.0 S only car i've ever owned where the heater would actually burn you !

Agreed would make no difference to me my car has never been above 100mph. It's how quickly you get there that matters ....

Nice one drop me a PM and i'll book mine in as well 🙂

Don't think I would get away with this one saying it wasn't caused by any external factors lol ! My first car was a 1983 Capri 2.0 'S' so I have plenty of experience fighting rust I'm just a bit out of date as my last 'old' car was a TVR.

Nice one have you used the indie before might follow you if you are happy with them ! Could you ask them to take a pic of the strainer ?

Used to buy this when I had the Scout with its fan washers but dont bother with the Superb. Just buy ready mix from Halfords saves the hassle.

Washed the car this weekend and noticed something hanging down underneath. About a 10 inch strip of underseal had come away from the vertical lip on the front offside jacking point. I Couldnt get in a position to have a good look but I can imagine its bare metal underneath which will be open to the elements.... When it warms up a bit i'll see if I can get under the car to check it out. What are people using to re underseal these days ? In days gone past when I actually did stuff to my cars I used a black spray on Wayoyl ?

Hi guys I have a Haldex and DSG oil change due shortly has anyone had any luck asking the delaer to clean the pump strainer ? I've mailed them asking for a price and if they could clean the strainer they gave me the price but didnt answer the strainer question !

Sorry I probably wasn't very clear ! I have no intention of selling the 11K was the valuation they gave for my insurance renewal. I have a nice full Skoda warranty

According to Compare The Market it's £11k cant find any equivalent cars online but a few 2016 L&K's with around roughly the same miles ( around 38k ) for £24k + I put down £20k for better or worse ...
