That is a Nice Mk3 Estate, in a great colour. It seems to be quite a well spec'd car too? Any more recent updates at all? Thankfully it looks it's in capable hands and being looked after/pampered very well 😄

Wow. Those results are fantastic.... Very impressive!

Hi there. Are you saying that your car has been exclusively serviced by Skoda? Just at 3 different dealerships? If this is the case then I cannot see any reason why any of the dealerships are unable to present you with a printout of the lifetime digital service history, as surely all of the Skoda workshop visits Should be stored on their system (I will caveat that by saying 'Back to 2016'), possbly slighly beyond then? The Independent VAG specialist who I've used for my Skodas also has access to and can/does record and recall all of the work which they've done in addition to being able to view details of all prior 'Recorded' Workshop visits. Maybe a Skoda Service Dept. Employee on here can chime in and correct me if/where I'm wrong. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/512890-digital-service-history/ Please let us know how you get on.... Thanks

Great stuff. That is pretty damn new and by the sounds of it has an impressive spec list... I'm sure you'll enjoy your ownership.. Nicely done.

Welcome Aboard.... Noooice Car 🙂 Whats the spec etc?

Would you believe that I'd just started to draft this response before you posted your reply, then had to rush out before checking and posting it?? I know precious little about the Superb 2 Estates but I did have an SEL one for a brief while... It seems like on one else is answering, so here's what I've churned up from what appears to be quite a common issue witth Superb 2 Estates with Electric Tailgates.... Hope that it is of some use, however small? I'd strongly suggest having the car VCDS scanned as this will (hopefully) throw up any hardware issues and likely help point you in the right direction.

Thanks for updating us... Yes, the Scalas are nice too. Kinda flew under my radar for the longest time, but they've come to my attention lately... Good choice.

Did you Buy an Octavia in the end? Or lose interest in your thread?

This is an Excellent guide & write up. Really well and articulately documented. Thanks very much for uploading it for us 😃

Make & Model: Skoda Superb Mk3 1.6 TDi Greeline SEL Estate. Jungle Green Metallic. Mileage: 142,000 Price: £3,250 Location: Chingford, London E4 Condition: Used Very good inside and out. There are some marks, in line with age, but all in all the car looks great. 2 Keys. Slight dent on nearside sill. 19 inch Phoenix/Trinity Wheels were fitted when I bought the car. These do have marks & laquer peel on them. Tyres are good. This car has the usual Skoda Superb SEL extras including umbrellas, Bi- Xenons, Front & rear parking sensors, electric tailgate and electric leather front seats (Both of them). Please read this bit carefully: I have decided to sell the car, as it seems to have developed in the last 500 miles, an engine fault whereby there is loss of power once the engine is fully warmed up, after say 45 mins of driving... Acceleration becomes very poor at this point as it is holding back and will not pull above say 3,500 RPM, making driving anywhere above 40mph problematic. Other than that, the car starts first time every time, there is no smoke at all, and no Check Engine Light on the Dashboard. I have not had the fault diagnosed, since I've spent a fairly hefty sum recently with servicing and seeing to other items, so it is time for me to call it a day. From what I have read, it could be as easy as a clogged throttle body OR an EGR, Sticking Turbo etc..sadly, I as mentioned Ioathed to spend any more money on it, which is a shame. Service history: This car has a full and very comprehensive documeted service history, both Main dealer and independant. The last service was completed less than 2,000 miles ago, with brand new front brake discs and pads. Water pump and Timing belt have previously been replaced. V5 Shows only 1 Previous owner I have priced the car at what I think is a reasonable price. I am happy to answer any reasonable questions, and you are of course free to come check over the car, subject to arrangement... If you happen to be a mechanic, then this could, possibly make for a fairly quick fix. I will have pics loaded up by Friday, September 4th ASAP... In the meantime thank you for looking. Collection: Yes

Ah Yes! I've litteraly just, (as in yesterday) bought a 2017 1.4 TSI SE L 5dr DSG. The comments you've received so far are excellent.... There are some that I'd add too. Apologies in advance for the war and peace 😂 1st off - Do an HPI, Experian etc check! Visuals: Check all of the panels over. Wings, doors and check the panel gaps etc for paint & possible repairs. Check the sills for dents, (rubbish tyre fitters etc). Check the windscreen - Nice if it has the original Skoda stamped screen with the ticket holder in it. Whilst your're at it check the VIN No in the windscreen from outside nearest the passengers side under the wiper, and check it against the number stamped on the driver's side inner wing, under the bonnet. Check these two against the paper VIN sticker in the boot to the left of the spare wheel, under the carpet. Check spare wheel and tools (if fitted) whilst you're there. Check interior, steering wheel, switches, seats for operation, and wear and tear. Make sure that you turn the aircon on full blast cold then fully up to max heat to make sure all work ok. Check Tyres! Need to have meaty tread of course, plus be reputable brands and ideally all 4 matching... Failing that, matching pairs essential. Keys... 2 or even 3 Keys (ideal), and an owners wallet is important to me.. If it only has one key then cut the price down... Original Owners handbook is important to me, as it has the vehicle VIN on the inside cover. Mechanicals/Electricals: Check engine over. Check condition of oil. Brake fluid is clear. Check that coolant is pink and NOT muddy red. (failed Silikat bag). Ask me how I know? Check if possible exhaust and condition underneath. Check that engine starts up free of all rattling, smoke and check that engine dashboard fault lights are non-existant. Make sure you're happy with how the car drives. When the car gets up to temp, check that Stop/Start works okay.. Watch on the dashboard & observe the gearbox go smoothly through all 7 gears. Have a go in Sport and Manual modes, plus use the steering wheel paddles (if they're fitted). Test reverse, full lock left/right and check park sensors/camera (if fitted). Handbrake, brakes. Check dampers for leaks & that springs look ok - (The amount of times I've seen MOT advisories "Dampers show light misting of oil" or "' Coil spring Spring fractured/broken" on VAG cars)... Check the LED headlights (If you're able to). DSG Gearbox and Timing belt/Water pump changes. Depending on mileage, check to see whether these have been done? If your car is fitted with the 7 Speed Dry Clutch DQ200 DSG box (like mine), then there seems to be a great deal of contention about whether it needs oil change or not? I myself need to read up on this, as I'm still not sure? Paperwork: Check service history thoroughly... Hopefully if it has Dealership (ideal) or registered independent servicing (2nd best). If so, then that work will (should) have been captured online. A 2019 car should have that. Paper invoices always help. The amount of cars I've looked at, advertised as "Full Service History" only to have big chunks missing between services is laughable, but please do keep in mind that if the car is on a 'Long life' Service interval and does low miles annually, then it is possible that the car may not have visited a service centre every single year...Take time to pour over the paperwork and cross check it against the MOTs, and change of ownership etc. As suggested above follow the MOT history to check whether historic issues were/have been addressed, and ask for a car with a short MOT to have a fresh one put on. Sorry for the essay, but throughout my multiple Skoda ownerships I've been caught out on nearly all of the above, mostly through my own ignorance, stupidity, lack of attention/ awareness, but sometimes through seller craftiness. I appreciate that what I've listed may well be overkill, but I'd say that an HPI (or similar) check, plu an MOT history check whist you're having a cuppa can sometimes tell you whether it's even worth going to see a car as the results you get back can sometimes be that obvious. Good luck. I'm sure you'll find a great one!

This is really brilliant help. Thank you so much 😄

Thank you so much. You Guys are the best. PM Sent. Many, Many thanks. 😊

Hi all. As per the tile. I wonder on the offchance whether anyone with the necessary access can run a Service History & Factory Options printout report for me please (assuming that one exists)?? I'm more than happy to pay. Thanks in advance 😊

Sounds fantastic. I have bought a Match 5.4 but need to get a loom, so I'm interested. Do you have any pics or details of your install? It'd be great to see them.. Thanks.
