Probably going to be saying goodbye unless there's a cheap Scala or similar nearby.....
Was going to say the same re my Suzuki... It's very smooth with a nice rasp when pushing on. That Peugeot 2008. Must've had something seriously amiss... Probably a knackered engine mount or a miss fire.

Skoda Kodiaq 2018 - tailgate lock replacement
Excellent... Looks like a result!

Have you tried lubricating the lock mechanism? It might just be jammed / stiff.

"Foot off the Accelerator" Message in VC
What's under the driver alert system menu? I'd expect that to be a more likely place for it.

Try one you'll be surprised. 110bhp 126lbft plus another 4bhp and 37lbft (114bhp 163lbft total) from the hybrid part all in 960kg with all modern safety features you can think of (lane keep, autonomous braking, radar active cruise etc). Its light years ahead of the tweaked Fabia 1.9 TDI and Octavia 2.0TDIs we had

Do t be dismissive of them... Get a decent one and they are excellent. My 998cc Boosterjet Suzuki Swift hybrid is a cracking little thing, lots of tech, a comfy interior, good handling and drive, has been totally reliable and does about 50mpg round town.

Water gathers in my boot lid??
My educated guess... From experience on a Kodiaq... The rear wiper seal between the arm and the glass (or similar - I'm not familiar with the Superb mk2 set up).

ULEZ and other similar schemes we are being told are all about clean air for everybody but are they really just a means of making money from motorists?
Yes, I saw that too... Makes you wonder what speed they were actually doing as I doubt the bus would have been speeding? Just shows that you can try what you like with speed limits and the like but it won't always make a difference as human nature, at times, will be to drive in whatever way someone wants to regardless of speed limits. On the other hand driver frustration is caused by long stretches of slow speeds or limits for no apparent reason and is known to often lead to speeding elsewhere... It's something assessed during road design.

I was an Assistant Resident Engineer on a big road scheme in Doncaster when those were introduced... None of the contractors guys knew how they were supposed to be installed so I had to find a copy of the standards and help them out. We also had to change some of the crossing layouts slightly too to meet the requirements. These days they are everywhere and instead of using precast slabs with raised bumps they often just tarmac and use a stick on rubber 'topper'.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I had one that lasted about 11 years then two in quick succession that died after a year. I went back to a standard battery. Probably my fault as they got to a low state of charge that effectively killed them as they then wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few days. No such problems with a standard one at half the price.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Noted and up to you - I wouldn't put and AGM battery on instead of a EFB - I've used AGM batteries before on other vehicles designed for AGM batteries and not had a positive experience. But your choice - I'll dip out now.
-
What have you done to your Superb III today?
The battery is simply a 'dumb' component that supplies 12v. Your comparison is irrelevant as it's like comparing apples and oranges. It's your car so your decision but your concern is unwarranted and, in my opinion, rather strange.
-
What have you done to your Superb III today?
You do realise Bosch and Varta batteries are the same and made in the same factory don't you?

the truth about electric cars
I'm guessing the extra 2ft is with the load bed tailgate down? Either way as others have said it's stupidly heavy and a stupid childish design. I'd be embarrassed to be associated with it in any way to be honest... Be that in relation to its design and engineering or just driving it.

Boot not opening
sounds like a bit of lubrication is in order...

Car Park Fires, Transporters / Ships, any fires, any EV,s involved or not thread, were they the cause just there and so made fighting the fire harder.
That's fair... To be fair...🤣

To be fair to the others it was @lol-lolthat started the qualification ****ing contest from what I can make out...

Fob
Might be worth trying some of these variations as it definitely sounds like the fob has lost sybc

Fob
It may just be a case of resyncing the fobs. The instructions should be in the manual

H7 bulbs for projector headlights on mark 2 fabia?
If it's a projector light it probably has a single H7 bulb with a shutter in front of it that screens off the full beam when on dipped beam. Chances are you may be able to upgrade to a H7 hid burner like many did in mk2 Octavias

Boot lid holding and leaking water
The wiper arm seal was the cause of a similar issue on my Kodiaq - took some tracing but the some windscreen sealant underneath the wiper arm seal and the glass sorted it.

Skoda Superb Elegance 2015 Tailgate lock problem
I believe it should just pull upwards as it's on clips but not 100% certain
-
Skoda Superb Elegance 2015 Tailgate lock problem
That striker plate is usually held in by two bolts / screws - one at either side of the pin - that are covered by the trim around the tailgate - you'll need to remove the trim to loosen them re-align it.

Octavia Scout 2015 - vibration at high speed and juddering on acceleration, when heavily loaded
I started to notice mine about 70k miles but it wasn't bad until about 90k. Fine under normal driving but bad when loaded or on the motorway in top at about 2300 rpm.
