well done Harvey just serviced my Skoda diesel 2ltr using your video as a guide .I have a pela 600 which I use to drain the engine oil with good results. good luck and thanks
Very clear, engaging video. All the important information and an occasional fun comment provided as you go. Thank you for taking the time to publish this!
Nice concise video offering help and tuition to those who are new to car maintenance. I don’t normally refit the undertray until I’ve put the new oil in and run the engine for a few minutes so I can check for any leaks, that’s just my preference though. Keep up the good videos👍🏻
Thank you for watching 👍🏻:-), quite right, you can check for leaks. I used to check for leaks years ago and have now come to the conclusion if you fit a new sump plug and washer (many noobs don't) and tighten correctly (many don't) (assuming the treads are fine) to toque, then they don't leak. The new washer has more initial malleability to act as an excellent seal on first use, moulding to any small mis-alignment or micro imperfections. The new bolt ensures the thread stays as near to spec as possible. If they were to leak it would be either, you did something wrong or after some time on the road, which if I was worried I would then check. If I was worried about leaks, maybe there would be a reason? Over time drip leaks are common (predominantly the pan seal) which is one of the good things about the under-tray, it acts as a drip tray too. I also now find I like to finish the hard work first, remove the jack to level the car which is the most important thing before filling. It is so much nicer not to have to crawl under the car again and importantly helps focus the job on replacing the filters and oil correctly :-)
@@TController That's a good choice if you need the space as these have great luggage capacity, even my saloon it big enough to get a full single mattress in without bending it at all, amazing. Well made and fairly reliable, certainly dependable. One thing I have recently found though is my 2.0 tdi engine is mounted low down and has bottomed out on some bumpy roads a clue of times - something to be mindful of. :-)
Very good video. Professional and thorough to the last detail. congratulations. Which year is superb? i have the same 2.0 TDI with 170 horse CR. 2009 godiste. i love it a lot and have been driving for 3 years without a single problem. it has crossed 225,000 km.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I tell you in the video about oil service intervals @ 9:52. That I prefer oil changes every 12,000km or 7.500 mls Inc filter.
Hi, my ‘designed not to be removed’ torq’s screws on my air box housing are very rusty. One I can hardly get the bite on it to remove it. Do you know if they can be replaced? Cheers Dom
Thanks. We will have to wait for that. the best way to access this is look out for how many older versions are about, if there are many then it's fair to say they last well. There are many old fabias about, mine included, which has started to rust on the sills. But, fabias were popular and many were sold unlike the superb. So there is a good chance to see old fabias if they last. Superbs were less popular so older superbs should be an even greater sign they last. Lots have a hard life as Taxi cabs :-)
I it’s not covered on this video, but I changed the fuel filter on my Skoda Superb for the first time. I let as much of the diesel drip off as I could, and then put the new one in. On re starting the car it fired up for about 3 seconds then cut out. It took about three attempts to start, with multiple tick over noises coming from the engine before starting up. In the future should I have some spare diesel to top up the fuel filter canister? Thanks for the great videos, 👍👍👍
Basically, yes on CR engines, some you will prime cycling the key or use vcds to prime the pumps or do it manually by directly activating the pumps, but the easiest way is fill the filter up as much as you can, even spilling out a bit with towel around, do it quickly and then fire it up. It is unlikely you will do any damage or cause any lasting faults. That's what many garages do anyway as it is not a job to take a lot of time over. I'll do a video sometime, thanks for the question which you kind of answered anyway :-)
Really good and clear video thank u it will be very helpful. Question it is really hard to find video about the to change xenon lights on this car , do you have tips, links or video about it sorry for asking ?
Hi, thanks for the great video. I hope to do my oil change this weekend. I have bought a new sump plug and washer however both parts are steel. It looked like yours had a black rubber washer, is that correct and if so what size washer do you use? Many thanks, Dom
Thanks, you're very welcome. The washer is made of soft metal and designed to be just malleable enough to make a good firm seal. You might have seen my video on the Jaguar x-type that does have a rubber inserted washer. As you know the sump plug comes with the correct washer attached.
Great video. I’m changing the rear pads and bump stops on my Skoda superb estate next weekend. Is there a place you can recommend on the rear to place axle stands? Cheers Dom
Have a jack on the sill edge jacking point as normal and put the axle stand on a solid, none moving chassis part where the suspension chassis bolts to the body chassis. Don't place it on the wishbone axle beams, body, (petrol tank, exhaust (goes without saying)) or trailing arm as you will need to lower this to change the bump stops. Hope this helps :-)
Thank you, yes, the extras are often left out on cheaper parts, not just filters. Bearing kits can be frustrating when you realise you need to fit new fixings as well and have to purchase those separately at extra cost. Some would just not bother, which could soon lead to more problems later on. Although not entirely essential it is good practice to replace all the filter seals with the filter as they harden and compress with use over time and for what they cost it is an easy way to keep a check on potential leaks and contamination/pressure issues :-)
I'm not a fan of oil extraction, but the electric way does sound easier. If it takes some time the battery may just run down too much to start the car later. never used one, but watched a video that showed it took a while to do. why I'm not a fan is it is hard to get the last bit of oil out and even then they don't remove as much. I can do a video some time with my little hand pump extractor that is in the back of the shed somewhere.
Sounds like you are interested in buying one of these? I can say they are great value for money, great space, espeacially if you have a family, relativly economical, but not a sports car. 'Relatively', because it all depends upon how you drive. I can achieve very high mpg over 74mpg, but this goes down the minute I start to use the throttle more. I'm the wrong person to ask really because most of my driving is slow and relaxed. I would say if I drove it harder the mpg figure would drop to around to about 50mpg and even less. slow to average driving maybe around 60mpg. I have actually returned 82mpg on a full tank with speacial economy techniques most people would never do. Sorry to be a bit vague; taxi drivers also use these a lot i've noticed, but that probably for the space in the back. Hope this helps:-)
Yes, thanks, looking at the video again I realised I didn't show that, but did mention it, (6:34) is needed for installation. It is always good practice to make sure these are oiled as it guards against friction abrasion, pinching upon installation to guarantee a good seal :-) first to mention the background music, will review ;-)
It would certainly be easier and as long as you can get the neccesary measured amount out. I find the hand pump versions take a while, but seem to be cleaner/easier. Be aware the sump bolt may be more difficult to remove or leak years down the line and maybe worth a check now and again :-)
Hello sir , I just wanted to know the in my colony there is one superb owner wants to sell his car and the model is 2011 now just wanted to ask you that is it good car to go for a long ride and what would be a service cost , I don't want exact amount
The greatest asset to the superb is the space in the back, leg room is excellent. Overall the car is well built, quiet cabin, but doesn't feel as luxurious as the best German equivalent machines - but it is a lot cheaper! Only grip is the large alloys don't give the best ride. Frugal on fuel if driven softly. Ok driven harder, but no hot hatch. Service costs should be similar to other Skoda cars as they use similar parts and don't use expensive air/adjustable suspension and if you go for manual they will be trouble free for years :-) the umbrella is a nice touch!
@@HatBoyHarvey yes bro it's a manual one and it's 2011 year model , the owner says that car is in ready to drive condition but I'm afraid of buying car because everyone is telling me that service cost more then our kidneys
Saurabh Gajjar The superb has a few more systems than other models, but those are the extra lux items you may want- yes? Fundamentally it is just a larger Octavia with a few more toys. If you’re worried about service costs, go to your nearest preferred garage and ask them what they think. You don't have to use the main dealer as there are lots of independent garages that can work on these cars as the block exemption allows this. As long as you buy a car with low miles as possible for your money you will be happy :-)
Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪 great video mate. I have just bought a 2012 I.6 diesel green line. Would this be the same operation do you think? Also it’s a Manual do I need to service the gearbox ? Any advice would be appreciated. Also I’m changing to a superb from a Lexus GS 450hybrid great cars but too thirsty for my job (chauffeur) any advice my friend ? Cheers and thanks 😊
4.3 liters of oil 507.00 SV 5w30 goes into the engine. But they can't put more than 4 liters in mine. because there's always something left to strain. so be careful not to pour more than you need, as it is dangerous for the engine.
Thanks, but I have one and gave up on it. Nice in theory, but to drain ALL the oil it is more time and labour consuming. If you take off the drain plug you can drain more oil and go and do something else while you wait :-)
The best instructional video I have seen on RUclips. Easily understood using layman's language. Well done . Thank you.🙂
Super thank you for your kind comment, glad you liked the video :-)
Complete novice to this but your explanation and demonstration is very much welcomed
Thank you, glad you enjoyed and hopefully found it useful :-)
Just looking at my torque wrench, it starts at 40nm. Is there any you recommend for sump plug and filter socket for the smaller nm
well done Harvey just serviced my Skoda diesel 2ltr using your video as a guide .I have a pela 600 which I use to drain the engine oil with good results. good luck and thanks
Thnak you for your kind comment, glad my video helped. Yes I also have drained the oil with a pump and will do a video on this method sometime :-)
Everything told by professionally 👍
Thank you, that is great to hear :-)
Lovely videos this. Proper quality bloke! 140bhp superb estate here. 295k miles.

Hi, thanks for this, your videos are simply brilliant. they helped me on my fabia mk 1 and now i have a superb mk 2. Thanks, video saved
You're very welcome, glad to help, I'm taking the Superb to France shortly and plan to do a video so watch out for that one :-)
