Hi Everyone, R

Hello my Brethren Skoda Gang, Noticed on the way to work this morning that the Dimming function is not working on the drivers side door mirror. the passenger side is working fine as is the rear view mirror which drives the auto dimming function. Was wondering if this is just merely a straight glass replacement in the drivers side mirror or are more sinister Gremlins at work. the cars Providence is that I have owned it from new, it is 5 years old, done 126450 miles and not had any issues like this before. I am a glasses wearer so the auto dimming is a MUST. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?

Update: Just had mine serviced and the stays for the boot needed to be replaced, cost £50 easy job to do.

Ok so I will wonder in with my findings in case anyone else reads this. I have a 12 plate superb 2 L&K CR170 The first Superb to have partial LED lights on the rear. Fantastic car. Have had it from New. 121000 miles in the clock. Had an EGR fault with the valve getting stuck this was replaced under warranty. First set of brake pads replaced at 90000 miles (still on original disks). Radiator and water pump died (started leaking water and was empty after almost every long journey, around 96000) replaced radiator, water pump and cambelt, cost £360 total. Still runs like a dream. Origional Columbus, needs a reboot every now and then but apart from that no issues. Economy, 50 mpg around town and 76-80mpg on the motorway. Don't get rid of your car's guys, these engines have only just started to run in at 150000 I will keep it until it dies. Great car.

Hi Guys and Gals, I posted a while back about changing the default DLR's from tungsten to LED. Well having seen a few cars out there with them i must admit i am glad i did not. The Tungstens are bright but soft at the same time, when you have an Audi or a Honda with LED DLR's comming towards you and you wear glasses, i think you will get what i mean. Only my opinion.... My question is that on the Octavia vRS the DLR's stay on at night and i was wondering whether the wizards of VAGCOM that reside on here know if there is a way to make it do the same on the Superb II? I know ther is really no benefit to it, i just think it makes the car look nicer with a defined border for the front end at night. Ford do it on there Galaxys and they look alright. Any ideas VAGCOM mob? BR Nick

Take your amatuer exam and benfit from the large repeater network across the world and IRLP (Talking all over the world via a repeater---via the internet).

Hi Guys, Just thought i would report back that the towbar has been fitted with no issues affecting the vehicle electrics. All the sensors still work!!! I havent tried it on the van yet (going this weekend to York) but i am sure it will be fine. You can actually manually turn off the sound for the sensors when reversing (whch is a lot cheaper than the extra £600 Skoda are charging for their towbar). So as an old Indesit advert with a man that resembled "PorkPie" from Desmonds said, "Why Pay more?"

No Problem. I would just check if the theatrical light dimming circuit does not have a fault on the inductor (I think its called and inductor...the boffins on here may know) Not sure if our motors have it but some cars use a device that, if faulty, can gradually drain the battery in a car over 24 hours without you even realising it. Good luck with the battery...... Use Sherlock Holmes principle.....go fo rthe battery first then look deeper after it is still draining.

Nope not yet... Its on my 2Do-List..... Along with putting a shelf up, doing the garden....fixing the wall....God its like being married ......only kidding...... I will get round to it i promise :think:

I am quite Genuine. Having built the "3 UK" Network, pricniple 3G BTS support engineer for two major network operators, trained field engineers and FO staff etc....etc.... My penny is worth at least two!!!! Wife says i am the most boring Bar"£$ed she has ever known..... Cant think why....... You know what we should do Briskodaions, we should come up with a new "Engineering" slogan for the Superb.....something to reflect on its pull of its 1 and two penny engineers!!!! ;O)

This is why no one should buy a BMW!!! They are like a tin opener that your grandad had which does the job day in day out. The rattles you get off the VXR8 are its heart Beating!! Clarkeson loved it! But there again Clakeson is a C*ck!

Thew rear bumper sensors can be manually silenced on the Columbus, so that should negate reversing the van and going deaf.

Zafira was 2008, Thanks for the warning. I will ensure everything works on the car before i let the guy go. But he did advise he has done SUperb IIs before and said they were a "Bit fiddly" but can be done,.

I have actually found this histarically funny Guys+Girls (being PC now...)...the engineering stuff is brillant.....!!!! I feel i need to elaborate...as i could be a Principal engineer that turns the phones off at night. I write documentation on how to commission and intergrate Multi Radio BTS (2G/3G) and perform commissioning and integration tasks on RNCs for MBNL. (T-Mobile and 3 RAN Network).... My wife tells everyone i have something to do with Mobile phones....so everyone assumes i repair them!!! My company offered me a Fupping Nissan Qashqai as a company car!!!!! .....I took the money!!!!!!
