Thank you all for all your help. i am now pleased to announce that I am a proud owner of a Skoda Superb Estate Elegance 170 bhp. I am moving from a Mercedes C350e to a Skoda and the Skoda is far better! thanks again

I am going to see a car which is for sale. it has 90k miles and it’s 170 bhp 2.0 litre DSG Elegance 2015 (registered may 2015) Estate. They are saying it’s has full dealer history. What service am I looking out for particularly the dsg box? Also what are the service intervals for the timing belts on this car?

Been looking, struggling to find the 170bhp one. what about the 140 bhp, plenty of them about. I will probably go for a manual if 140 bhp. Any experience of this engine. many thanks

What is this fix? how do I know if it has been done? Does it relate to manual or automatic cars? many thanks

Dear All I have owned a Skoda Superb Elegance 2005 1.9 TDI (sold 4 years ago and I did 100k miles on it before I sold it and it was the best car I have ever had - been driving for over 20 years). Company car came along and had to move to a Nissan leaf for two years and Mercedes Plug in Hybrid (had for the last 2 years). No boot space and I am missing the Skoda Superb. I am a bit out of touch on the Skoda now after 4 years. My budget is between £8 - £10k. Shall I buy the automatic DSG or the manual (would like the automatic and are they reliable). Is it worth buying the 4x4 option and I would like the 170 BHP options. Also, I am going to buy the elegance model. Let me know which is the best engine in this range and what to avoid. I know these cars have the DPF filters on them now (has anyone had any problems with their diesel). Would like to hear from the estate owners to let me know what they like and not like about their car. Are they still reliable? Are these cars good for mileage between 150K - 200k if regularly serviced. I do high motorway mileage and would buy a car at about 80K miles and it won't be long before it is approaching over 150K. Sorry, lots of questions but I am so excited at the moment. Really looking forward to start shopping! Looking forward to your replies. Thank you in advance.

Dear all Got 1.9tdi elegance 55 plate. Every year during the cold snap, when I start the car in the morning, when I turn the key, for a second, nothing happens and then it churns and starts. This year it's started earlier as the weather is not so cold (6 degrees this morning) so far car has started but I get the impression that the car will not start when it gets colder. I think it's the battery getting old but not sure? Bought the car when it was 4 years (80k miles) old and I think it's on the original battery. Now the car is 8 years old and covered 165k miles. Any idea what the problem can be?

The total job has cost me 67 pounds. 30 pounds to replace the Ecu seal (but that was okay). 7 pounds for plumbers gold sealant and 30 pounds labour again. Hopefully, it should be water tight for years now!

Thanks guys, had it repaired today. The water was coming from the door carrier seal. Mechanic used a waterproof sealant and it's water tight now. Thanks again for all your help

Hi all Trying to sort out water in front footwell. Changed Ecu seal and bonnet release cable all good. Today bright day, everything dry so I got the horse pipe out, put water down the windscreen and top of car, everything fine. However, I put the horse pipe on the driver side door and water starts to leak in. I can c it start dripping in the car. The question is which seal will need replacing, just don't have a clue, please help!

If its the grommet for the bonnet cable, can you seal it all would I need to get a new grommet. Many thanks

My driver side footwell is soaked, just noticed it. About 6 months ago I sorted the passenger side, new pollen filter tray and took out grommets sorted the problem. Passenger side completely dry but driver side completely soaked . I got a feeling it's coming from the side near the accelator pedal. Any idea where this leak is coming from, what do I need to do to sort this out. The grOmet under the servo was not removed. Could this b causing the problem! Sick of leaking footwell, any help would b appreciated

Dear all Skoda superb 1.9tdi The indicator sounds keeps coming on, no indicators on. Any ideas what it can be?

Dear All I go mountain biking every weekend and the seats get really dirty. I require some srat covers (front and rear). Cant seem to find any, plenty for the front, but stuggling with rear

Dear All I have had my 55 plate Skoda Elegance for 4v years now, done 83,000 miles on it. Presently sitting at 153K miles. Still love it, really cant part with it. Decided to keep it until it breaks, best motorI have ever owned and I am still not bored of it. Just wanted to share with all.
