I have a Superb L&K a little over a year old that I use as a Taxi with 55,000 miles.I am in Ireland but bought the car in the UK about 6months ago with 4800 miles on it.Three weeks ago I was driving at 45mph when the car developed a nasty shudder through the car and would not accelerate normal.It seemed to clear slightly and came to a stop a little further on.It would not restart.There were no warning lights whatsoever.I contacted Skoda Ireland who advised me to contact Skoda UK as the car was UK car originally.I contacted them and they were very helpful.They arranged breakdown service to take the car to the nearest Skoda dealer and sorted me with car rental.The breakdown guy put on his report suspected fuel problem.his reason for that was there were not any warning lights on the dash.The car broke down on a Wednesday afternoon,I got a call on Thursday from my local dealer to say it is not a quick fix and they would not be able to examine it until following Wednesday or Thursday.I called them Tuesday afternoon and they told me that a list of faults showed up on the computer and they had not seen before so they sent It to Skoda Ireland.They instructed the dealer to replace the ECU.They ordered the ECU fit it to the car and could not code it.Skoda Ireland then tried to code it remotely but also failed.They ordered another ECU slightly different from the one for my car with new software.That ECU arrived today 5 days  late,they fitted and coded the ECU and the car still will not start.

It has been 3 weeks now that I have been out of work because of this problem.I have a contract to do work and 3 days a week I do almost 600miles each day and the other 3days I drive between 350 and 400 miles each day.I had to give all of the work to another Taxi company which in itself is dangerous for my business.I am severely affected with this breakdown.Now the situation seems even to be worse .I called into the Skoda garage today and spoke to the workshop manager face to face where he informed me that they do not know what is wrong with the car nor does Skoda Ireland.They have sent a report to the factory to see if they can tell them what is wrong with the car.The factory will get back in due course,maybe an hour,tomorrow or the next day I was told.I said to the workshop manager that I hope it won’t run into more weeks but I was told it could run into more weeks before it’s fixed and they can only do what is advised by Skoda (I presume Skoda factory).

The Skoda Service Promise states that they will endeavor to diagnose vehicle defect within 24 hours.They have now had the car about 504 hours and it is still not diagnosed.I am in bits over this.

I would appreciate if anybody could give me advice if heard of these symptoms in a Superb before.Thanks.

Sorry to hear of your problems. If it is a 150 it will likely be a mk3 so best posting in the superb 3 forum.

 

My mistake,I thought I was on III.Thanks.
