Hi all!

I'm 30 something year old male from Finland. I got my first child about a year ago and the need for bigger car and isofix seat was imminent, so my trustworthy 2004 VW Bora 1.6 petrol had to go. I started looking for bigger car, as we needed to transport 2 adults, 1 baby and all their stuff for 2-4 weeks at a time because my job. I spotted 350 000 km 2014 Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI 4x4 Estate with good service history at an auction, and I thought it was superb mk3 rather than facelifted mk 2 so I bought it with 4000 €. It was about 3000 € cheaper than same mileage Superbs in Finland, so I was satisfied with my purchase. Soon I started to notice it had lots of small flaws: heated seats did not work, it did not warm in the wintertime, rear wheels did not engage at all and cabin is quite noisy. Other than that I like Superb a lot! There's room for take my whole family and all the stuff that we need while being 4 weeks away from home!

I changed DSG thermostat and it seemed to fix the warm up issue. Then i changed Haldex oil and filter fixing the rear wheel drive. Now I have plans to restore Superbs old glory. At the time I'm planing to do follow:

• Fix heated seats (still no idea how..).

• Cover the cabin floor and doors with noise insulation mat.

• Remove all the rust and redo the body rust protection coating.

• Install MIB STD2 (I just received used unit from 2015 Skoda Yeti).

Wish me luck. I hope to afford an electric vehicle in next 5 years or so, but until then I'll be fixing my Superb.

All the best with your project Takkis and welcome.
