After an enjoyable 18 months membership of Briskoda and an even more enjoyable ownership of my 2004 Superb I 1.9 TDI Comfort (Stanislav), I have to say goodbye.  Last weekend I was involved in an accident and  unfortunately Stanislav was written off.  The insurance paid me a fair amount but I doubt it will be hard find such a good car with the money.

I would like say thanks to everyone who contributed to my posts and whose excellent material I used to improve the car, particularly the authors of the water ingress solution which I followed to the letter.

I'm hoping to get another Superb. If I'm very lucky I might be getting a Superb II I have seen advertised locally, then I will be back with a Hello message!

Sorry to hear about your accident and write off.  Hope nobody was hurt.

Good luck with your purchase of a replacement.

Come back and tell us what you bought. 

Hopefully you’ll be able to get your hands on another Superb soon. Sorry to hear about your last one

Adios may you find a good one te veo pronto .

Hi All. I went to look at a Superb II estate thinking it would be lovely. 5 years old, 100k miles and it looked like it had never had a sevice. I saw an Octavia estate, also in poor condition but next to it was (sorry about this) a Volvo V70 and I fell in love. So it really is goodbye. Volvoforums.org.uk is not a patch on Briskoda. Not mobile friendly for a start but I'm prepared to take a gamble. I have some old brake parts which I will list in here I think. Didn't get round to fitting them...

Hello goodbye that was quick .

Adios,

 

Re  V70 - If it's an auto get the gearbox oil changed asap -  notorious fail on these. If it's a manual - happy days. Best car seats going!

 

Which engine? age?

It's a manual , 2.4 D5, 2007, MK 2. It has a few problems to sort out such as a new battery and a tyre, both being sorted in the morning; but I like a project.

......

Update: three months later the water pump seized, the cam belt shredded and the engine was destroyed.

Along with the contents of the radiator the best part of £2500 went flowing down the drain. ☹️ Sad smiley.

Update

The brakes and rear light cluster are for sale in the classifieds section. A real bargain if you have a Superb I.

Hey, I might be back again next week. Going to see a Superb MK2 tomorrow. It looks great. I'm going to see what to look out for now...

Hope to welcome you back soon
