Mark 1 Fabia vRS. MK2 superb 170 estate TDi, workhorse. MK3 Superb 280 L&K estate. 2s not enough 3s too many 😜

Rather than waiting here is a sneak peak just for you Still have the Superb 2 and Fab vRS🤦🏽

That’s a shame Ryan I was hoping you could see my Superb 280. Plus I see you might not be fully fit ? I appreciate it’s a proper trek for you

Sometimes if you spill some oil on top up you may get a burning smell on some cars ?

I used the same trick I have before and unplugged the battery monitor cable and I have disabled stop/start. No tools and no cost.

So who is up for this one on Sunday 28 June 26 10-4pm ? Name and Car you bringing ? Maybe include anything you wanna buy or sell in this thread. Could not find another for this meet

Bargain this one being an SE also. Hope this lives on with some TLC!

Sorry if I missed, did you include a price ?

Fog lights are not interchangeable from non vRS cars to your new vRS bumper

I must admit I am happy as a new owner of a Superb L&K at the fact I can control the bass of the sub. I don’t want to go crazy and blow my ears away like when I was a youngster and it was all about bass. Can’t match up to your needs as an audiophile. What did you replace the Canton sub with out of interest and how easy was the swap ?

When you say sub removed, do you mean subwoofer, isn’t that standard in the boot of an L&K because it comes with Canton sound system ?

Have had a set on our Leon for quite a few years. Once I read they were GY from pictures it was between them and Michelin CC’s based on tread.

You could stick them in this site too for a more tailored audience. Presume from the pattern they and GY Vector All Seasons.

Some say an orbital polisher with appropriate compound. Others buy a stick on overlay from Temu/Ali_exp type places. Have a search. Not done either myself

The MK2 was really a tough and well made/thought out car. Miss my hatch. If it wasn’t for the age I would get a FL Octy I love the look off the Pre-FL and FL Octavia. However I have a Suoerb 2 estate which really does things a load better. Plus the lines of the Superb 3 tempted me also to get an estate but in Petrol. Hope the new one serves just as well

It’s worked out about 36MPG. I did do a little local drive also first. For some reason as I like to brim my cars. I keep spilling fuel. Never had this problem in all my life of driving. If anything in some cars like my superb 2 TDI clicks too early and I have to reposition the pump to get it to fill. I forgot to say I find the Canton sound really good, the sub is on low and it’s still good bass. Having come from a Columbus with Sound System upgrade in the Mk2 I was already spoilt.

First drive to work it’s about 186 miles return trip. Got to say I am impressed with a few things the ACC in traffic is very good. But when it sees a sign and just slows dow, is a little annoying since I know the Speedo is out in most VAG cars. Is there anyway to get the Speedo to be reading that 70mph is really 70? I love the fact I can have my work mobile and personal phone connected at the same time. I used to have a visor Bluetooth for my work phone before. I hate how Waze is cut down on Car Play so it’s back to having a vent mount holder for Waze. Still managed to play BBC sounds via Bluetooth Inc show graphic on car stereo. All very modern now. MPG was about 39 on the way in and 41 on the way back. Not worked out that cost yet but I get super Esso petrol for 155.9 last fill anyway. Hearing steering wheel in the morning was nice also. I can see with Lane Assist and the ACC I am going to get into a lazy driver 😉

VWAG went all eco on the parts packaging. As you can see brown boxes and just plastic on pollen filters. They are not pretty to look at but most likely they get some eco points for doing so.

I found the offset of Octavia wheels made them sit too far into the arches when I tried a mk2 set of Vega wheels on my mk2 superb

They look really nice and what did they set you back ?

Thanks any particular sources for it and how thick did you go for ?

I think the length and expense of taking door apart and having paintwork done is too much. Do tell more about the Ali express ones perhaps I could cover my current 4 chrome strips with these to hide the ones that are chipped or blemished ?

Thank you that is really helpful. Shame it’s not the chrome version. Can you not simply remove the chrome strip from another unpainted or used side panel?

Go 16” for comfort and low cost. Go 17” with a slightly larger side wall for best compromise looks cost comfort is what the forum members used to say

What did you make the carpet rubber protector from, just what I need in my cars. Something shaped how I want it?
