I would recommend contacting a skoda dealer and asking them to check the firmware if you aren't able to access those details yourself. It sounds like you need to get the firmware updated. Its exactly the same problem i had years ago. That solved it.

Good point. Will get it sorted in next service.

Thanks Nick Thought that might be the case. Will get some ordered. Did you go with a main dealer or aftermarket supply?

Bumping this to see whether anyone has seen a similar fault and maybe missed this post.

Hello I have a 67 plate L&K and in the past month or 2 i have been getting some issues with my electric tailgate. When i press either the latch on the boot or the centre console button the tailgate lifts about 30cms and stops. I have to press the button repeatedly to get it to go up but it goes up in stages. More recently it can refuse to open at all and i have to lift it manually. The key opening is also non functioning as well. Closing seems to be fine but there are occasions when the latching mechanism is tight and the lid needs a nudge to lock into place. I have read the other threads and it looks like its probably struts but some mention a NW sensor and i wasn't sure what that was. If i get the vehicle codes what should i be looking for to diagnose the struts or any other faults?

Hi The boot on my L&K has developed an issue where its not clamping tight. It appears to be shut but as you drive away the lid lifts slightly and the warning symbol comes on. There used to be a clamping system on my old mk2 which played up before. Is this a similar fault or has anyone else seen this issue? Car is a 67 plate.

The offside rear speaker on my Canton Superb has started distorting the sound badly. Car is a 67 plate so its up to me to replace it. i notice that the speakers available have different depths so does anyone know just how much space there is to play with? I want to have something better than stock but not looking to drastically upgrade the speakers as i mainly listen to voice rather than music. But similarly don't want to waste money by buying something that is too big.

Forgot to post an update on this. Never got anywhere with the towbar from the garage and seeing as I didn't really need it, i used the money they gave me to buy a spare wheel and tool kit. I am more likely to have a puncture than have to tow something. My L&K is the hatchback version.

Update on this. Reloaded the sd card and started installing the update within a few mins. Took an hour to install but seems all good now.

Thanks all. i will try again. I have done everything i needed to do as suggested above so will have another go later on.

sorry i forgot that you mentioned that leak. Yes it sounds like the hose has worked loose. Looks like you need to remove the internal panels. There is probably some instructions somewhere on the web on how to do it. Always remember that cars are built on moving conveyors so they should be "relatively" simple to pull apart. There is an instruction on the superb 2 forum to replace the twin door cable that is very comprehensive. I used it to fix my old car and i imagine the process will be the same on this model.

I have sold my Superb 2 and no longer need the foot pack that is specifically for that car. Is anyone interested in them? Not sure whether its possible to offer them for sale on the site.

I have downloaded the latest mapping from the portal to an SD card but have not been able to update the system. It won't recognise the files. The one issue i have is the instructions say i should format the card using FAT32 on the computer but my HP laptop uses a different format standard. Anyone got any tips or advice?

I had a similar issue when i picked up my 67 plate a couple of months ago. Turns out the 2 spray points were bunged up with what i can only describe as flakes of rust or dried debris. However it was easy to remedy. The plastic mount with the 2 spray holes can be removed with a flat screwdriver carefully and i used a couple of pins or needles to clear the holes. I was also able to tap out the debris that was in the space behind the 2 sprays.

Thank you.
