  1. Interested can you confirm if will fit my superb 2 estate 2011?
  2. Looks at volkswizard channel on YouTube Andrew swapped one on his old TT. Might help.
  3. Not a price expert, depends on additional options over standard Sportline as not L&K plus colour may have a bearing. Estate commands more over hatch. GLWS
  4. Thanks typo by me yes 445, even though only 1 needs replacing got a pair. Are they easy to swap without taking bumper off ?
  5. Could anyone confirm if these fog lights fit my car please, it’s a mk1 Fabia vRS DEPO 444-2002L and R part numbers. Thanks in advance
  6. Or use sport mode perhaps in auto ?
  7. @Dandan00 Take your time with the DSG. When putting it into drive and pulling away release the brake wait for the pull or roll before accelerating. It’s not a torque converter auto so behaves different. They are very keen to change up quickly so labours a bit if you don’t press on.
  8. @Dandan00 Seen the car advised at Keith’s looks very nice. Will they refurb those alloys in the price or are you pushing too far, you gotta ask or you don’t get!
  9. Those DRLs built into headlight itself yes noticed that. I think it may have come in after 2012 IMO.
  10. If it has xenon headlights they are great check for dance on startup and nice white light on both. When start going pink means new bulb. Drl fog lights change bulbs to non error LED looks better once purchased.
  11. 17” wheels hopefully makes for a better ride. Check carefully around tailgate number plate lights for any signs of galvanic corrosion and get it resolved as it ruins the car.
  12. SE plus I think we’re well spec’d sounds like a good one. Keep those sunroof drain holes clear if it’s one that opens. Listen out for wheel bearings and check for broken suspension springs mot should spot this.

  14. The 140 engine is a nice one. Get those other filters changed especially fuel. The pollen and air you can change yourself very easy. Make sure all electrics work on all doors as the wiring loom can break in drivers door. what spec is it elegance ? elec tailgate heated front screen sound system upgrade Columbus stereo self parallel park heated front and back seats Inc front electric and if leather L&K gets most of above standard
  15. Double post admins delete one
  16. 1.6 may have issues. Superb is a very large car especially estate. Will fuel and other filters be changed has it had the emissions fix applied might reduce EGR life although they can go without fix. Check for vibration and labouring at low speeds couid be DMF for clutch I love my superb elegance estate but it’s had its fair share of common issues. You have had Japanese might have been very reliable and low maintenance
  17. I gambled my high mileage Octy2005 TDi had 3 or more belts by meand when it was costing more than I could sell it for I decided not to change. I did no inspections on mine at all. Sold at 265k. The replacement recommended was 4 years or 85k whichever sooner. For mine.
  18. Last year all 3 of our policies increased no logical explanation, I hope they come down for all driver, if yours is a guide. Pay it quick 👍
  19. Mine used to do that but always heard it click back as door was closed from drivers seat. I didnt exactly slam it shut. Never caused any issues so never addressed it.
  20. Isn’t it 2 years parts and labour warranty on everything at Skoda?
  21. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/diesel-particulate-filters/
  22. Most likely you are not letting it complete a DPF regen or taking it on a long run.
  23. Another happy customer here 2011 Superb Elegance DSG combi. Motor packed up weeks ago and it’s been cold. Only saving grace is heated seats all around heated front as well as rear screen and a microfibre to wipe the mist off the doors. Managed to break the arrow alignment tab on mine it came out with a twist. But it was a pain trying to ease it past whatever was stopping it coming down into the footwell. Copious amounts of GT85 spray later I felt it moves better but not totally free. Back in the car and I have a heater again. That you so much to all who posted and @Sanmart for assisting with the free fix. I would say it was water ingress in my case as there was some signs of it around the motor casing once removed. Any ideas where it’s coming from and how to deal with it? Where are people ordering replacement blowers from?
  24. @pab567 do you know about these units ?
  25. It’s the cam chain that worried me on these, we had a 2008 1.4 122hp Golf and it rattled on startup, always wondered if there was a problem brewing. It got wrote off at low miles so I never knew.
