Hey hey

owned my 2010 superb elegance estate for 3 and half years now.

It’s been pretty trouble free, until recently.

 

I think the battery is dead, I want a specific ybx5100 that’ll be delivered on Monday. 
while I was at my mates garage they said to check the door wiring harness as a cause of voltage drop. 
needless to say it’s wrecked. 
 

ordered a new one but it appears wrong. 
I checked with 2 dealers (none local though 😡 it shut) for the right part number and then ordered it through TPS. 
 

mine has 13 connectors the new has 12

 

there is 6 speaker cables on the original plug

 

the new has 2 cables that then go into the big speaker and come out to the tweeter by the handle. 
there is no connector for the medium sized speaker. 
 

have I got the wrong cable? 
 

old - 3T2 971 120B

new - 3T2 971 120CE

 

i could just chop into the tweeter wire and run the middle but I’d prefer it to be right after forking out the dough! 
 

any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Yup, looks like you got the wrong part I'm afraid.

 

CE seems to be for car with 8 speakers rather than the 12 speaker sound system.

 

 

This page also show that B looks to have been superseded by CN: https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/3t2971120cn-electrical-wiring-installation-bundle-for-the-door-skoda-40119.html

Thanks Langers 

 

I use a similar website for Mk1 and mk2 fiesta parts. 
never knew there was one easily accessible for newer cars aswell 👍🏻
 

I also didn’t realise that the “sound system” was some sort of premium. Surely they could have picked a more premium name than that. 
they literally just called it what it is 😂😂

There are write ups on here for this job. I believe a special tool is required to get at the door lock cable, but this could be only for keyless cars, not actually sure. Have a search certainly one or two threads in 2021. 
 

I have looked through loads on here. 
know the job in and out now 😂

 

I can’t see how the described tool would work either, I dropped the locked, when I could see the connector I shimmied a tiny tool in and flipped the bit up that holds it in. 
It’s a total mental plug to get off in situ.

unfortunately it means speaker out and finding the correct rivets now as none that we have here fit.

 

The issue is not doing the job but the part itself.
2 Skoda and 1 Vag trade part supplier told me CE when thanks to that little site up there 👆🏻 it is infact CN. (I live in Basingstoke and our dealership shut down. They’re all roughly the same distance and off course the trade supplier was £30 cheaper)
 

all three using the cars VIN number not guessing based on year etc.

 

Ive traced through the car, after stupidly forgetting the amp under the passenger seat which would have saved half the wording of the original post. 
 

8 speaker cables come out the Head unit and go the the amp, and seemingly 20+ cables that then come out of it, the loom of cables must be over an inch diameter.

Oemwolf.com is a handy site for looking at what's been superseded by what.

I checked your old part number on there and it changed to suffix CN in two steps, with something like suffix BB in the middle.

3t2 971 120 df is the part number for my superb 2 with sound system (non kessy)

i AM BEING INFORMED THAT i AM WRONG AND WITH THE SOUND SYSTEM IT IS SUFFIX CN not DF

sorry for the caps.

3T2971120CN

I still cannot believe you supplied VIN, and they still managed to give you the wrong part.

 

It literally shows up in bold, for the parts that fit, and when they go to order and see price, it shows superceded.

 

The only time it should fail is when someone has retrofits done, as the server's are unaware of the change's.
