Steering column.

I tow with a 1.9 PD 130 PS (AWX). It's excellent.

I wouldn't touch the 2 litre PD in a Superb with a bargepole. Have a look at some other posts in this section to see what happens to it.

In a fit of sheer Teutonic genius, there are FOUR types of fixings for the front undertray on the B5.5.

The wheelarch fixings are black nylon coinhead "screws" with a "T" shaped barb at the business end to engage with the plastic inserts in the undertray.

The underside fixings are metal Dzus fasteners - but of course dear old VAG have to use two types - black and silver - and the lengths are different. (just slightly).

There is also a central M6 nut at the front.

No wonder the dealers never put them back properly. (Mine was incorrectly fitted with missing fixings after just one dealer service in Mansfield).

What a bunch of idiot designers these people are - the Japanese or the Americans would never do that.

You have my very greatest sympathy - having a car representing a chunk of money sitting out there in an unusable state is a horrible feeling.

One word of advice though, meant in the kindest way: Use your head not your heart at times like this. You have a shiny car and have spoken to a smooth-talking salesman. All that glitters...

Best to jump off - throwing good money after bad seldom pays in my experience.
