I pumped 95 from the Cepetco shed in Battaramulla last saturday after getting the fuel pump replaced on my 406, Still running without any issues.

hmm.. I guess I'll keep on searching for an A4 or a passat, if all fails the skoda will still be there.

Will do, judging by the fact not a single skoda owner showed up, i guess the car is pretty rare. Senok did say they brought down only 50 or so skoda's from 2000 to 2008, that lot includes the superb, octavia and some other car.

LoLz.. not exactly clear about the punch line.. So am I to understand that no one in this forum currently owns a skoda superb ?

Skoda.. anyone ?

Pumped 95 octane fuel from the Battaramulla Cepetco shed last Saturday, they had a can filled with fuel on display,it looked ok and smelled ok and so far running okey..

I might be a potential buyer for that car if it checks out to be good. I heard that there are only a hand full of Skoda Superb's in LK.. i welcome the uniqueness, but does anyone have an idea of the spare parts availability ?

Was is a black one near nittambu area ?

Yep i saw that, by the time I contacted the seller the car was sold.

Hi all, I sold my Peugeot 406 a couple on months ago and was on the look out for either a VW passat, Audi A4. Last Saturday I came across a Skoda Superb and it looked... Superb I don't know much about this car exept skoda is owned by VW and it's engine and most stuff is shared with the passat B5. If any one has owned or driven this car please share your experiences.

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but I'll say again just to make sure. When u pump this petrol which is not petrol, some vehicles may die straight away. But some do not. Like mine it will work fine all day no problems what so ever. I did about 40km's after refueling, the problem occurred when I parked for the night and tried to start er up the next morning. I got nothing, not even a cough. Checked the fuel lines and guess what no fuel is coming through, the pump has got clogged up. My guess is.. ahh what the hell, I'm not guessing anything, all I can say is make sure U pump in the good stuff.

What about IOC ? IOC is having a different fuel supply right ?

Any survivors ?

If it's a slim then i can safely say it will work here. My cuz got one down from US and although it says 120v 2A in the back it works without any problem.

Well i'hv been using Garming with voice navigation and all on my 5800 for a long time now. I can tell you how to get it done if u want.. but you need a GPS enabled phone with symbian OS.

Problemo.. my pugs 3rd gear started to crash a bit so took it to the garage to find out that the 3rd gear selector wheel is damaged. And the 4th gear selector wheel is also slightly damaged. So I need to replace those two. Do you guys know of a place where I can buy just the selector wheel and not the whole gear hub as the full hub is a bit costly.

what happened to that online revenue renewal service ? did anyone give that a try ?

Thanks ripper.. i saw ur driving on the seeduwa rd.. if tht's with vulcanized tires i should be pretty safe..

Then getting it vulcanized is the best option then. I will try that. Thanks.

Yep.. there was thread like design on the inner wall of the tire.. which could lead to a lot of unnecessary punctures. :-(

Guy's I need some advice.. The side wall of my front tire ( a brand new Dunlop 195/65/R15) got damaged due to my negligence. When I took it to a tire shop they said it's not repairable and I'll have put a tube in it and use it. Tried a couple more tire places and they said the same thing. And since my spare wasn't all that good I did install a tube. My question is , is this safe ? I have to replace my rear tires soon, so I can switch the front tires to the back and put new ones on the front. If anyone's had any experience on this please share.

It's just not working.. the batteries are good.. Anyways I'll give this guy a call and see.. thanks.

Guys, do you know any place where I can get the remote locking system fixed ? Its the infrared type that comes with the car, a small infrared LED in the key and a sensor fixed on the door light control panel.
