Not in the Skoda, but in my punto people used to ask all the time, mostly about what engine I was running - standard 1.2 haha.

Lots of old ladies saying it was a lovely colour and commenting on how clean it was...

Got accosted in the service station yesterday.

bloke with a 2003 octavia diesel was picking up a yeti the next day so was asking me all about them.

seems he has just completed 240,000 miles in his current car so was looking for similar longevity in a yeti diesel

told him he wont be dissapointed!

(I hope! :think: )

I was talked to the other day & asked if it was 4WD.

He went on to say that the superb mk1 & 2 were rebadged Passats. I decided it wasn't worth disagreeing with him.

rattling noise - front calipers or pads

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 · 13 hours ago13 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
