Bank holiday Monday, returning from caravanning from Newark, via A1,then M62, which was closed from exit 22-25, we were diverted onto the A628 then 616.HEADING FOR Manchester, through Hollingsworth, nose to tail traffic.
Our Skoda Superb, coping very well with conditions, stop, start, pulling our Elddis 462 caravan, we started getting a rubber smell, then a smoke smell, then clouds of smoke from under the bonnet, I thought we would catch fire!
Solid line of traffic, no ware to pull over? so had to keep going, expecting the clutch to go anytime. We managed to keep going until we came to Denton, and the M60,more speed getting to the engine, cooling it down. The clutch didn't fail, and we returned home.
The Skoda has less than 9,000 miles on the clock, 19 months old. It is now at the main dealers who said they cannot find what went wrong !
DO I STICK WITH IT ? OR GET RID ?

I bought the Superb because my MG cdti broke down, water found its way into the computer, a shame a good car 80,000 mile, but problem terminal.
I was stuck with a caravan, with trips booked, but no car to pull it with.The caravan club, magazine gave 5 stars, to the Skoda Superb, the dealer is just down the road from me.
I wanted a Superb 2 litre auto estate, but had none in the price range in stock.They did have the car I bought, Superb 2litre business SE, 2,000 miles on clock, so bought it, cash, well over £20,000, [ I dont believe in credit ]So this answers some of the comments, and the car is very well capable of towing the van I own.
I understand about the mechanics of the dual mass flywheel type clutch etc. I worked at Ford,s in Kolne Germany building their modes of transport.
The dealer has contacted me today to say, they dropped the gearbox, found two claws in the release bearing bent, so are renewing the parts under warranty, so hopefully that's it. Thank you for the comments, its always helpful to get different trains of thought.
