editors note, moved to octavia mk3 forum. Welcome @Mullbers

Very true, except when it's a total bangor and worth £300 quid. I'm actually enjoying the EV drive. Got to say with the right regen level it makes b roads quite good fun. Relative term! The superb is also pretty good fun on a b road, although chews through rear pads trying to keep it's mass stable. I've definitly transitioned to getting from A to B and not so much popping out for a drive/blat around the lanes as I would of done 20years ago. ALmost everything on the market is too powerful to have fun on a GB road legally. The citigo was ironically probably the most fun I had for a while, using momentum and reading of the road to get the most out of it. Been over taken on straights... hehe I did once repass a BMW who braked sharply mid corner, one of those lovely wide open scottish a roads, he zoomed past again on the next straight. arh fun times squeezing past motorhomes on single tracks. A 1.6T Aygo might be the ticket ;) It's just an aygo love, see sensible me present ;)

Yeah saw an Elroq parkled up in a campsite for an event I was at. Change is never easy and sometimes one has to flirt with it to realise what you have. There could be some good savings, but none to justify the cost to change. i.e. a 1.5tsi fabia will cost less to run than the 272 superb, of course insurance will find a way to equalise the savings. Although I may find other things to ammuse myself with :) Another EV might allow us to double down on some costs, like solar and charger. As it is now, one EV, home charging is almost not worth it. Most of it's journeys have been 150+ miles away, so home would only be one side of the cost triangle. Also have an awkard install, electric in cellar etc. It will happen I'm sure, a second ev, renault 4, meganne, elroq, byd seal.... looks like the superb to SWMBO would make more sense. More so if a 'local' trips car. We're right on the boundary of not needing two, but it's a whole lot easier. It's super rare we're going in different directions on the same day, but not impossible and perhaps incraeasin;y common that we might with aging relatives... With trains as they are it's just about possible for me to go that way, except it's normally last minute, oh the weather in north wales if great tomorrow. Or I pop up to scotland for a few weeks, SWMBO is either without or I'm wearing undies insideout. :S

@skomaz Yeah something small and light is quite tempting. A bit more pep than the citigo, just ot be a little more comfortable on longer rides. Sure they did a very fun GT type thing under the radar. Not sure SWMBO would enjoy a 1.6T Yaris GR... I'm sure I'd be in trouble pretty quickly too. @travs I think my trackdays are behind me, maybe the odd one for kicks. A tricked out superb on slicks and some engine work sould be quite the surprise. @leolito that is very much what my good lady said. Problem is I know I'll end up pretty close to the superb. Radar cruise being about the only toy I really, really crave. Although I thought a bit of a gimmick the augmented reality in the Enjaq actually came in useful. Driving back on sunday, a bit tired, raining, the lines on the dual carriage way hard to see. The augmented thing did a good job and helped. @Lee01 yeah and unilke the 1.4's don't need more oil than it's body weight. It's a bit of shame they discontinued the estate, it would be near enough perfect for me, I think... assuming I could get some electronic wizzardy. I'm also wondering if I'm on the edge of actually prefering the EV drive and boy does that throw some spanners in the works. Certianly won't be squirrling a few extra pennies away for that retirement day. Probably will have to sort it before it goes to far, then have to keep it a bit to recoup the outlay in fun :) Migth end up on a track day yet... on my all season's... have to be a wet one :)

Hi all, I'd been toying with selling my '19 Superb 272 4x4 with DSG, canton etc. Took me a while to find it and I do enjoy driving it, so thats the heart argumetns out of the way. Wife just got a new EV, Enyaq, on a super cheap offset lease and TBH we don't need two 'big' cars. So there is some value in mine still, low mileage etc. Brilliant. MOT... leaking front near side damper... great, might of thought something else tbh. So here's how I see it: 1. Sell as is, with that noted because: 1a: New owner can put alt suspension parts on ( age is ripe for having fun with it ) 1b: New Owner can put stock parts on and be happy knowing it's done. 2. Put replacement part on. Sell as sorted in stock fashion. Fix and keep it. It's replacement would likely be a small fabia, aygo, maybe even elroq kind of thing, not big, or just say haha to potholes and get a landcruiser. Unlikely to be a swap keys deal now the price of second hand has normalised. Thoughts?

I’m sold on them. I just can’t bring myself to spend luxury car money on one. That’s because my car buying brain is trapped in the 2010’s. I think the price is such, due to a few factors. Mostly the added expense of everything being on a chip or backed by a chip. I don’t need my mirror to angle down when reversing, or the camera etc. yes it’s handy, I don’t need it. It’s priced into the car. The actual cost of the car, metal and bits is not that different to an older car, it’s all the gubbins. Most of which we’d be happy without if we didn’t have it we’d manage. Although adaptive cruise control is really nice… so I’ll have that please ;)

Your english is fine ;) I've moved the topic to audio, hopefully someone will know ;)

Apologies for the delay in moving. Hopefully we can find you an answer.

Thanks for your patience, moved now. Is it definitely this thats squaking, rattling?

now moved, GLW search

@lewist123 can you stop reporting updates as spam please. If you don’t want email updates, alter your preferences in your account > manage your followed content. Many thanks.

Fab, to be honest it's just uk road ready now :) Moving to the Yeti projects area ;) Edit: No I'm not, as something isn't letting me. Will sort later...

Yearly mot done and my nearside shock is demeed to be leaking. DCC too, so sitting down after reading this. I knew of knew this day of reckoning was due, potholes!

Technically I was a member of the rac in ‘74 and continued to be one into the 2000’s. Used them a few times, but equally let them go after hikes and service drop off a few years back. With a newer car never say never, but ended up on green flag and have not had need yet. With a ‘24 car, do you not have three years breakdown under a Skoda provision?

Bump as was held in mid queue for a bit.

Back to mk3 then

Age of vehicle. Style of dashboard used. @nta16 and many members years of experience. welcome, we hope you find your answer! I sense this won’t be unique and quite possibly, something very unrelated to the obvious.

Got any links to said cases please?

Sorry about that. We hold posts that have an email in them. As this can be private. Then new years got in the way. if you want me to remove, or you can, your email let me know. glws.

I’d change it for you. Soneone else has carmine though. So puck another or embrace the uniqueness of the moment.

@Mark156 moved to the superb section, it may of been missed in the forum how to. Hope you find an answer soon.

@VioMee I’ve moved your post. The title and content was fine. Just a better place for it. bit like trying to push a door with pull on it, we all do it at least once. So to is with a forum when there are a lot of places it could be. I have toyed with hiding this area till folk have had a few more posts. Very, very occasionally, although struggling to recall one, someone has a forum question as their first post. anyhow, now you’ve got an idea the door is pull, ie there is a superb IV forum, you’re away to the races. I know iv and iv are swappable terms, the romans got there first, so iv is mk4 not specific to the iv badged cars. phew, maybe i try the door push one more time, nope definitely pull, good all safety checks done here. have a great day.

Hi thanks for the patience, I've been trying that topic and others and have not seen similar. I take it you're also using chrome browser? I'm not using that of late. Firefox or duck duck go. If it's still happenign let me know and I'll install chrome etc.

Moved to Ocatvia MK IV section. Hopefully someone can help.
