Need to change my suspension bushes on my mk3.5 Octavia as they're creaking over speed bumps and on certain roads, I upgraded them to rs3 bushes on my Superb and had the part number, I seem to have deleted the part number from my phone during a clear out so was wondering if anyone had the part number and could give me it? I've searched the forum but too many results to sit and go through and I've googled to no avail. Cheers folks

Yeah that's a good suggestion but I'm that forgetful I'd keep jumping out and long pressing the button lol. Major creature of habit!

Getting annoyed with having to long press my remote to fold my mirrors in, is there a way to change it to single press? It's not available to be done via the ecu but surely there must be some method of changing it?

I change my oil and filter every 10k miles, I do over 40k a year in mine.

I've got gel number plates and they look good under the led lights lol, that's my reason for wanting them my headlights are xenons so don't need to upgrade them

My full light fell out and lense and body are both smashed to bits lol. Don't know anyone who could code the led bulbs in unfortunately

Has anyone else had the door puddle lights fall out and get smashed? I'm now missing 2 on my drivers side as they both fell out and got smashed by the door being closed as I didn't realise mine had fallen out and the passenger didn't realise the one on the back door had fallen out! Very nearly lost my passengers side rear one but thankfully the passenger realised and I go out to clip it back in! Can't find any to replace them so think it's gonna be a trip to Skoda for them, they aren't held in by much either so think the replacements will get glued in. Next thing is anyone running led number plate bulbs? I've been told by the place I'd normally buy my led bulbs from that they categorically do not work in the superb and the can bus system shuts them down and tells me I have a bulb out. If you're running them with no issues what bulbs are you using?

Yeah like that except mines are side by side just now but when I put a full size rear plate back in I'll be stick padding it to the bumper

My car is used as a taxi so I have a square registration plate and my taxi plate next to it which is also square.

Had the Superb now for 9 months and covered 32k at the time I write this, cars had its dsg service done at 39.5k. So far it's cost me nothing but consumables and servicing. MPG seems to be low around town mind you and I find it a tad creepier than I was expecting. It achieves 34mpg regardless how careful I am around town, it was the same before changing to 225 45 18 tyres so I don't think it's to do with them. The car has had its emissions update sadly so I'm blaming that as talking to other owners and other drivers with the same car they're all getting 40+! Other than that it's been a fantastic car and all my passengers love it, I love it as it's nice to drive and comfortable as well at almost 60k. Only faults I have is the battery is on its way out and I still have a key issue to resolve which is looking like I may have to replace the remote. The dsg holding gears and stuff has sorted itself since the oil change and my driving style, I forced the changes with moving it to manual mode and not letting the box drop it back down so it seems to have helped resolve that issue. It used to struggle to go over 90mph as well but that's resolved the more I've driven it so I can only assume it's been choked with the previous owner maybe not driving it hard and in his 2 and a half years of ownership he'd only covered 27,600 miles which I've surpassed in 9 months lol. Anyway that's my update, I'm going on the hunt for Mlada Boleslav plate holders shortly if anyone can point me where I could get them as I'm gonna put my private plate on and change my plate layout at the rear from a square plate to my taxi plate sticky padded to the bumper and a normal size rear as my private plate won't work on a square plate. Thanks for reading folks!

I don't have keyless lol

I meant to say it doesn't do it all the time either, it'll work as it did for several hours last night after not working for a few hours. Worked fine when I left this afternoon and then didn't work when I was leaving my mates

Hmmm think I'll just start using my spare key lol

My superb has started displaying this and not starting the car, I'm assuming the key battery but the key opens and locks the car from a considerable distance. It works perfectly fine with my spare key and I had to run home earlier to collect my spare. Thankfully I was at my mates and could borrow his van. Any ideas? I'm gonna change the battery anyway but if anyone else has any ideas.

Does anyone on here own my old Octavia with the reg in the title? Traded into Arnold Clark motorstore in York. Just wanting to know if it made it here and if Arnold Clark declared it had previously been used as a private hire car hence the higher than average mileage.

There's a guy local to me does it for £50 as he wants to help people, unfortunately he doesn't have a standard file for my car. I'm reluctant to spend anymore than that as the long term plan is a remap anyway, I also consider anything more than the £50 to be a bit expensive and just an easy earner.

Unfortunately for me my car was emissions fixed before I got it by the previous owner, I'd have refused it otherwise as well.

I never got the dsg issue checked due to ill health and the car is now out of warranty so just living with it as I can't afford to have it checked out. I've done now, 18k since I got it and it's had rear brake pads, front brake pads and a service including the dsg serviced. It's been great other than the holding and dropping gears at times and is a wee bit thirsty on fuel, I plan on having the car remapped when I've finished my flat.

Not the 4x4 no. Was what the car indicated

What kind of average mpg should I be seeing on my 170 tdi dsg? I had a long motorway run and it only averaged 45.5 mpg over the 100 mile trip! It has had the stupid emissions "fix" and I've changed my front tyres to 225 45 18 as it was costing me too much replacing tyres constantly due to pot holes! 3 sets in 12k miles. But I don't see the tyre change being the issue so my thoughts are is the "fix" causing the car to drink more diesel? Highest I've had it was 52mpg on the journey home with the car when I bought it which was 206 miles. I know this has probably been asked before but the search doesn't seem to work right on my phone.

It's entered for the Scottish car show lol. Yeah my mates dad has replaced his alloys with bbs wheels due to buckling and cracking

Had been getting a shudder at 70mph with the superb, went to the tyre place to get my wheels rebalanced and it turns out both front alloys are buckled! What are the alloys made of chocolate? Doubt Skoda will replace them under warranty either but I'm not a happy chappy! I was planning on getting 16s so will be after a set sooner than I thought and I'll have the 18s straightened and refurbished and keep them away. I have the car entered in a show in July so will fit them for shows and run the 16s daily! Or put my 18s back on with a 45 profile as discussed in another post. I get my tyres at trade so the little extra cost doesn't bother me as it's only £5 extra a tyre for the 45!

My Octavia had 225/45/17 tyres and they were fine. Don't really wanna change down to 16s either lol. I don't run a meter either so don't have the worry about that lol. This timeout thing keeps crashing phone!

I hit a pot hole on Saturday morning and it burst my tyre! It got me thinking that 225/40/18 for my use isn't any good as it's used as a taxi, also made me think 225/45/18 would be better for my use! Would it be ok to change to that size or is it a bad idea? I know the arches will take it but thought I'd ask the opinion of other owners lol

It's been doing it since I got the car. How do I find out what version of software the dsg box has? The car originated outside London somewhere so parks has never touched it nor will they ever lol. The "upgrade" was done by the previous owner before they traded it in as I have the service receipt for it in the book pack. It was station garage who supplied the car new and looked after it under the previous owners ownership. It'll be my mate and Henrys looking after it under my ownership
