I’ve not one through the whole topic, but my work took me all over Wales and I’m not sure if any one has mentioned this. The road from Llanidloes ( signposted Staylittle) to Machynlleth. Fantastic views of wild Wales, one great memory is travelling it in a thick layer of snow, on a bright sunny winter morning, roof down on my Saab auto diesel convertible. Put good tyres on a car and they keep going in snow.

I've had my 2012 Superb Combi L&K from six months old, the TV facility always struck me as a nonsense but I did use it now and again for DAB radio. Recently I have got bored with the same old stations on FM and returned to DAB but there are far fewer stations on the car than on my DAB radios in the house, for example no Virgin Radio. I can't see that software updates would be relevant as surely it's only a retune? I've cleared the saved channels and switched the tuner setting of, restarted the radio, switched them on to no avail. HELP!

Direct Download link for Columbus ECE 2019 Maps
Huwcymru replied to logiclee's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
My Superb is a 2012 L&K, owned from manager's demonstrator. Maps were out of date at delivery (as they always are year or two behind roads /limits etc.). The car has a DVD/SD card slot but did not come with a DVD or SD card with maps. Can I use the downloads listed here to update my system or is it risky? -
KEYLESS FAULTY In Skoda Superb
Huwcymru replied to vishalzmr09's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I had same message, in my case faulty RH Kessy antenna. Auto electrician sourced antenna (£30 ish) but we can’t locate the faulty one to change it! -
My Kessy isn't working 20102 Superb estate. Diagnosed as faulty RH antenna. Antenna sourced but we can't find the location to replace it - anyone know where it is?

Run my VIN through three other sites including Skoda with no problems.
-
Just checked and the chassis no and VIN are the same = so the site isn't recognising my VIN no. Sorry - pop over and have a look if you like - we're 109 miles from Fishguard :-)
-
The only number I have access to is the chassis no on the original documentation. The site doesn't recognise this will see if I can check the VIN in the dark

FUBAR's New Entertainment Room - Build Thread
Huwcymru replied to FUBAR's topic in The Technology Shed
This is my idea of entertainment Fubar - it's great and £3/pint http://www.tinyrebel.co.uk/beers/fubar/ -
It seems Santa (middle son) who is an enthusiastic techie is buying we an Amazon dot for Christmas. As we use a Hive thermostat (and will add intelligent plugs and bulbs - we travel a lot and I'll set up my shed with motion detectors linked to the Hive) and our music system is Sonos based it has a lot of potential to me. I'll report in January.

Can you take IAM/RoADAR test with DSG?
Huwcymru replied to Branchie68's topic in Racing and Advanced Driving Techniques
The DSG box selects appropriate gears in MHO. On a nearby hill it selects 3rd and revs around 3k, 2nd would cause too high a rev range, ergo, I suspect that most of the time the GSG knows best. During my last test I didn't have cruise, which in the Superb operates from quite a low speed, I use it a great deal - I wonder how that would be seen? -
Have a look at my consumption on Fuelly below. Every litre has been recorded over nearly 30000 miles!
