Seats: Sportline vs L&K
L&K has more goodies if, of course, they’re important to you. If they are and you can afford the difference, I’d go for the L&K, or you’ll keep wondering why you didn’t. It was a easy for me as I wanted heated seats all round, as the family had enjoyed those on the MKI. The fact it also had a TV, ventilated seats, rear seat release, a cream interior, 276bhp and I knew the original owner, how he kept it and it’d only covered 18k, all made it a no brainer.

Since buying a Race glaze water filter, I have no issues with white spots any longer. To extend its efficiency, I’m running a separate outside tap from the home filtered water this weekend, which will make the bloody expensive resin last longer.

I’ve just searched and I can’t find any reference to polarised windows being fitted to Skoda vehicles. I’ve just checked mine and there’s no sign of Polarised jaggies when looking through any of the windows and there’s no issue with the polarising filter on the rear dashcam either. Do you think it might be something to do with the auto-dimming mirror/s?

Wow - when were Polarised windows introduced to the S3?

Mixed old oil with new in oil change
Yep, the oil supplier recommended simply depends on the deal which is done corporately by VW/Skoda. It was Shell on the 2006 and 2011 Superbs we owned. That deal extends to the bulk oil purchased by the authorised dealers so they get an advantageous purchase price and I'd presume upon which VW then get an annual sales rebate.

Battery emergency
I had ours on pretty much continual charge from Sept to April. Given its 6.5 years old, I guess it’s due to go kaput any time soon.

Power Window: Goes up and then it winds back down to 1/3rd
Oh I do; buffering the living daylights out of my ear’oles above 40mph!

Power Window: Goes up and then it winds back down to 1/3rd
God I hope not. They’re aren’t many items I can think of which do precisely the opposite of their design brief and function but this excels in both areas as they’re bloody noisy and useless at providing draft-free ventilation. I put them on and off they came 5 days later.

Power Window: Goes up and then it winds back down to 1/3rd
Try resetting the windows. Ignition on and roll all the windows down with the four switches on the drivers armrest. Wait 5 seconds. Then wind them all up at once whilst continuing to hold the switches up. When they reach the fully closed position do not let go of the switches - hold them in the up position for at least 10:seconds. Re test your passenger window and hopefully this will have cured the memory issue.

Looking at used 2018 SE L Exec estate 1.4tsi - thoughts?
In my case it’s three years. And shove it and the spare in a faraday pouch and there’s no security issue at all..

Nice spec, nice price and FSH. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

New SIII owner with a couple of questions.
Mines from an Indy (who were excellent BTW), which came to them a trade in to a Ford dealer against a brand new Mustang GT by the first owner Prykey, so I didn’t hesitate to purchase it for £20k and 19k miles in March 2020. John confirmed it only came with two keys, one chrome and one non.

Go to a dealer or specialist.

Skoda Superb iV Hybrid - Columbus Infotainment System Issues
Well that’s a bit laid-back in terms of factuality, given 90% of dealer management lie with impunity and encourage staff to do the same. They have as much integrity as that blond entitled buffoon in No. 10.

I’ve got KESSY and I have two, and only two were supplied at point of handover, so obviously a sales balls-up. 🙄

TMC not Working
And today it finally began working again! Yippeee! Thanks everyone once again for your experiences. It put my mind at rest that I was not going nuts or that the MIB was! 👍🏻

Is that recoded from close by the brake pedal?

Dsg fail in emergency mode. No reverse gear.
This is nothing to do with the DSG box, it’s the drive-by-wire throttle pedal. Get a pedal box and it disappears, even in bypass mode. Given the millions of vehicles with DSG boxes globally, the numbers of failures are minuscule, albeit it’s bloody annoying if it happens to you. Unless you’re going to buy a RX Lexus or above, you’re buying a badge engineered Toyota and yes, perhaps you will find them marginally quieter than the Superb diesel, but that won’t be a surprise given they do not make s diesel. You’ll be buying the 10 year warranty over that 10 year service period, via in an uplift in the service costs and it’ll be underwritten by an insurer, but it’ll be transparent to the owner. I had the misfortune to have a CT200h for a while. An underpowered, poorly built car and noisy with it.

Three KESSY keys? Weird. My 2016 came with two and they both work fine. I tried the manual door opening when I first got the car and the drivers door opened very easily so perhaps they are not the correct key blades for the car.
