All my driving is in town A roads and My SM has completed 11200 miles.I have had 3 punctures. Is this a record?

Ray, I too have had screws in all but 1 tyre in the last 3 months! Thankfully it doesn't cost me anything to have them plugged by Kwikfit (lease car). But now my wife and I suspect someone is leaving screws under the tyres as they are always in the centre deep groove of the tyre, and Kwikfit have given me the screws, guess what, there all exactly the same type!

I'll be installing a IP camera to watch the car as it's on street parking here (after our Easter holiday).

If you catch the nasty creep who is doing it, let us all know and we'll all come down to 'teach him a lesson' :yes:

rattling noise - front calipers or pads

kokosal · 28 June28 Jun

Hi guys My Octavia 2 FL makes rattling noise on rough asphalt, exposed stones, small cracks. Brakes, system ATE, disc 280mm, pads Febi 16328. When I press brake pedal quiet. When release rattling comes back. I even replaced one rubber sleeve. New Febi sleeve is more loose than orginal ATE Skoda OEM sleeve. I replaced guide pins for brand new ATE. MOT in March nothing in suspension. I know sway bar link clattering noise. I think left side is louder than right or it is noise from left wheel. Any

Factory fitted electric towbar is not releasing after a long time not using

candasm · 16 hours ago16 hr

Hi Everyone, I have a Factory fitted electric Tow bar. Last time I use, it was 5 years ago I believe. I tried to use it Today no chance not releasing. It has a green light always but whenever I pull it out light changes to red blinking and tow bar is not releasing. I used some wd-40 and rust cleaner but still result didn't' change. I also tried to pull out the tow bar with bare hand or hit the mechanism with a wood or hammer(kindly), still no chance. Anyone faced the same issue?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here has come across this exact issue, because after 7 months and multiple visits, neither my dealer nor Škoda’s technical support has been able to identify the cause. Car: Škoda Superb Sportline, 2021, 200kW Problem: When braking, the side sensors intermittently trigger a warning that there is an obstacle very close to the car — even though there is nothing there. It happens sporadically (not every time I brake) What has already been done (all without success):

Creaking front-end

travs · Monday at 12:294 days

History is that since the coilovers were done, the front-left top mount has aways creaked on turning; classic top mount sound of juddering movement. I've tried rotating the spring a little in case that's a difference but I need to do try some more just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. In the meantime, the front right has developed a creak which is different. It's a heavier creaky rubber feel to it which is triggered on minor movement/weight shift. Going over speedbumps obviously makes
