2010 if I remember correctly was the change over year where they went from PD to the ea189 common rail engines. It may have a PD engine which will be unaffected. Post a link to the car we may be able to play detective.

What did the coolant temperature gauge show? The oil temp in the maxidot display is engine oil temperature.

No, H7 halogen and D2S xenon bulbs are totally different. Just fit them with a set of the correct bulbs with ballasts. Chances are it will pass an MOT. If not, keep your original halogen units to swap back in for an MOT.

Have a look at the below. https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/02m-whining-decel-noises-aftermarket-clutch-disengagement-issues-mainshaft-axial-play.6089802/?id=6089802

Presuming these are genuine xenon lamps, you'll need a set of D2S bulbs, and appropriate ballasts. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250504146872?hash=item3a5335efb8:g:EJgAAOSw-yxU23Ki You can use ballasts from a HID kit with D2s adapters.

It's underneath the air intake pipe. Removing the air filter box, intake pipe, the battery and the battery tray gives plenty of access. It's pretty straight forward to do, shouldn't take much more than 30-40 minutes.

Not daft but the car has been washed many times. I took a quick look by prising up the trim and it revealed a very crusty looking rubber strip. Couldn't get it all the way off without taking the door mirror off. I gave it a good clean since I could now get to all of it, not just the top bit that you can see when you drop the window, but didn't make a difference. I've now got some gummi pfledge to try to bring the rubber back.

Yes that should fit no problem.

I took this quick video to show what it's doing. Having taken a quick look at the chrome trim, it looks like it just clips in and out?

Since I bought my Superb earlier this year I've noticed a slightly annoying problem, and I'm not sure if it's normal to the Superb or not. When there is condensation or rain on the outside of the windows, dropping the front drivers and passenger window down and back up doesn't clear them. Only a tiny portion of the window near the mirror is cleared, the rest is still covered in condensation, and I can't see out. The passenger side is a bit better than the drivers side, but not by much. It's as if it's missing a rubber strip or something, as nothing feels like it's touching the glass on the outside. Looking down into the top of the door, it feels there is a felt type strip that's on the outside edge of the glass, but this seems to be pretty hard and crusty. I can't imagine that it's missing a bit of trim on both sides of the car?

Couldn't agree more. Going from 18 to 16" wheels is a massive upgrade in how the car feels on the road. At the end of the day the superb is a big barge for comfort, not a sports car. Why they thought 18 was ever a good idea I don't really know

Could be the speaker that has gone faulty. It's all disabled if the speaker doesn't work either. A diagnostic scan would confirm what the car thinks is at fault

You have two options really. A set of wheel trims to cover the entire wheel. A set of centre caps from a VW Caddy Given that you've only got 15" wheels you'll find a set of wheel trims much cheaper and easier to source.

To be fair the entire door might not be too expensive from your Skoda dealer, as they were an accessory part. https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/3t98688861bs-storage-compartment-cover-32293.html Part no 3T9 868 886 1BS

If you have an L&K then they will be factory parking sensors. Usually one of them has failed, and when one stops the entire system is disabled. First port of call is to check around each for a clicking sound as you've said.

That looks like you either have the bulb installed incorrectly, or have fitted the wrong bulb. I assume you got an H7 kit? Although there is a sharp cut off, the pattern of light is wrong, and will not provide much useable light on the road. When you look at a projector headlight output, either halogen or xenon, there should be a bright hotspot right at the top of the beam pattern, i.e. where it will shine furthest down the road. The projector is designed to focus the light when it's coming from the filament on the H7 bulb. An H7 HID should have the light source in the same place as the filament. When you fit an H7 kit, the cut off and light pattern should be exactly the same as with a filament bulb, only more light. If the bulb is installed wrong, the light source is in the wrong place for the optics, and it will be "out of focus" so to speak. You will still get a sharp cut-off line regardless as there is a metal barrier in place in the projector physically blocking the light.

What is your budget? The Yeti was available with the 2.0 TDI CR 170 engine. I have the same engine in my Superb and it doesn't hang about.

Nice find, I hadn't seen that one before. Shame it hasn't got the reg on the pictures. Amazing how they keep cropping up every now and then.

Hello from a fellow yellowbelly. Where in Lincs are you from? I'll keep an eye out

It's not normal behaviour at all, especially after such a short amount of time. Do you know what brand of clutch was fitted? Did you have any sort of warranty or guarantee of the work? It could be a number of things that could cause it: - Parts fitted were from a reputable brand but are simply faulty -A cheap ebay (Techniclutch) "remanufactured" clutch plate - Something has contaminated the friction surface of the clutch plate. Either way, I would be back to them to investigate this further.

I found the same when it came to this part. Mention a DSG thermostat to Skoda and they generally have no idea what you're on about. The official description of the part is "coolant regulator" - part no "1K0 121 113 A" https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/superb/sup/2015-768/1/121-121055/ Part 15 on the below diagram

There are tools to connect the unit via serial and get the code straight off the unit. https://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/577285-RNS510-code-finder-app?highlight=CODE+FINDER

Found this one on autotrader. They're not the highest quality pics, but maybe the dealer would send you more. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202107305656035

I had exactly the same. It required a new catch. Once I had the old one off, I could see it was broken inside. The pin that runs through and holds one of the springs in place had sheared off. No amount of lubricant would ever solve that New catch fitted and all was well.

Nice swap. I also recently went from a 2005 Elegance 1.9 Octavia to a 90k mk2 superb Elegance 170. The only thing I miss from the Octavia is the bottle holder at the bottom of the doors.
