  1. Hi, does anyone know where the relay is physically located. It is relay location 2/3 according to the diagram but where is it and how do you get at it please??
  2. Hi, I have this showing on my dash, it started when the high level brake light went out (subsequently found to be ok) and no matter how many times I check or fiddle with the bulbs the warning still shows. I have just had the wiring checked out to prevent any faults due to the dreaded water ingress and it appears I caught it just in time, loom was damp so this has been dried out, ecu looks like it has been replaced and was sprayed up inside with wd40, all wiring and connectors checked, no corrossion or breaks, but the warning light still appears, it is also sparodic, sometimes it is fine and then for no apparent reason comes back on, still no lights out, anyone any comments or ideas and suggestions??? One suggestion I have had is that the dash instrument might be at fault, but this sounds a long expensive solution...
  3. Hi does anyone know if there is a sharks fin available for this model instead if the standard aerial, if so has anyone changed it?
  4. just had my shift solenoid replaced due to all lights coming on and getting intermittent selection of drive, cost just over £100 for solenoid plus extra for fitting
  5. since i had this warning come on and replaced the high level brake light unit, which was apparently defunct because it now works, i have had this warning come on repeatedly yet there are no lights out, and i have fiddled with the rear ones several times because i know that these can be a constant source of problems, but there is only one bulb that appears to be slightly loose in the holder, and after manouvering it sometimes works until the car hits a pothole then the warning comes on again, any solutions anyone? any idea how much a pair of replacement rear bulb holders will be?
  6. found out how to change the light, the only way is to get at it from inside the boot, two clips and manouiver it out of the cavity area, replacement the opposite way, a bit of a difficult job if like me, i can get in the boot but not easy getting out, but the only way, the rear parcel shelf does not come off
  7. does anyone know how you change the high level rear brake light unit please?
  8. hi, does anyone know if you can obtain wide steel wheels for the old superb, i fancy having a set in black for the euro look?
  9. a couple of pics of my low mileage motor, unfortunately it needs a new starter motor, but hey ho....
  10. Hi will upload some pics when i collect the car next weekend
  11. Just bought it, 12226 miles genuine, still smells like a new car. booked in for full service, belts, tensioners and now water pump thanks
  12. Hi, I have just come across a 2.5 v6 tdi of 2003 reg, that has only got genuine 12000 on the clock. Do the timing belts deteriorate with use or age? If it is fully serviced regularly what problems may occur due to age, when using for high mileage ie: 2500 a month? any comments from people? this just happens to be the sister car of the one i run at present and it is in immaculate condition all round as far as i can tell
  13. does the 2.5 v6 tdi have the same pump as the infamous 2.0 version? \in experienced views if \i have had the red warning light flash on a couple of times but now does not show is this a warning to change or has the damage been done because my local garage who i use and trust is 30 mls away from my home?
  14. yes the red warning light, posssible cause?? 2.5 v6 tdi - never had any symptoms like this before, but just had a full diagnostics run because of the ongoing saga of the emmissions workshop light coming on at irregular intervals
  15. Hi, just had oil warning light come on, saying stop motor, check oil, so did that, iol level full, should be only had it serviced a couple of weeks ago but they did not reset the service light, so i did that yesterday then later the light came on, coincidence??
