So... ...that went well...🙄 Replaced the ABS sensor this morning, and now I've got FOUR warning lights! ABS, ESC, steering and TPMS... OBDeleven is still saying right hand front ABS sensor. When I took the old one out, I could see a few fine scratches on the tip, and peering down the hole it came out of, I could see quite a lot of flaky rust, so I scraped that off with a small screwdriver, whilst slowly turning the hub. I also noticed what seemed like a number of small, black plastic "flaps" on the vertical face just outboard of it. No idea what that face is?

Daughter had hers for 5 years prior to having grand daughter. Only issues were sticking rear brakes and rust just starting around the fuel filler. Hers was the 75 bhp version which was surprisingly nippy and great on the motorway.

I'm old enough to remember when the most difficult part of keeping a car running was doing the tappets.

Not sure but off the top of my head I'd say that's too big of a jump, I couldn't be sure though. Just be aware that if you try it and it doesn't work out you could brick your system. I've heard of people going from 18xx to 1985, I did so myself, but only based on sound advice. There are a few experty types browse these forums, hopefully one will see your post and be able to advise you better than what I can The other thing to be aware of is that updating your infotainment system won't necessarily get rid of any bugs you may be experiencing, these cars have a lot of modules and each of them need updating from time to time. Could be worth getting in touch with @East_Yorkshire_Retrofits who offers a comprehensive software update package, depending on where you're based

Can I update from 1668 to 1985?

5407-5410.jpg When I first considered this gutter area edged with the boot lid seal it was packed with bone dry clutter from the sky. I wondered where water was supposed to be accommodated. With this in mind I intend to keep it scrupulously clear of debris in the future. The rear light clusters have been removed and inspected and reinstalled. There was no evidence of water damage.

From your description, I'd suggest very likely something wrong with the replacement fuel pump.

Fabia Mk3, MEN2_EU_SKGPx_P0460L, ver. 8780 - Success! It worked like a freaking charm. Huge thank you @Zlatko580! And thanks @bigwhale42 for a Linux version (did mine on Mint) Also, photos were really helpful! In my case I didn't need to do factory reset, CarPlay, Android Auto, MirrorLink everything worked from first run after plugging unit back.

Hi, Had my Samsung Galaxy s23 setup with android auto on my 2016 Superb, until recently it won't connect and I get a USB error message. The phone has had a couple of updates, so not sure if the is the cause. Tried new cable, selected transfer files and android auto setting on my phone and still get the USB Error message, any ideas what the issue could be r what to check next. Thank you in advance Tony

Hi All Driving over Cairn'o'mount last week the mounting point on my rear left steering knuckle \ hub carrier snapped leaving the trailing arm trailing on the road - literally! Trying to source a new one. 2011 Superb Estate 170 4x4. Apart from £300 for a new one I'm struggling to find cheaper options. Škoda part numbers: 1K0 505 433 1K0 505 435 AD 1K0 505 435 Q Happy to go used too. Is it common to other VAG cars?

One minute I was toddling along minding my own business, and then this stopped me: Gaz

Yes, it works fine. The manual isn't totally clear. What I've found is that you need to activate it once by pushing the stalk away from you (as if you were selecting high beam on a car without the assist feature). The 'A' symbol then comes up: white when it's on dipped and blue when it's switched to full beam. It you want to override it when it's selected dipped, you can push the stalk away from you a second time, and it will then stay on full indefinitely. You can also pull it towards you for a quick flash of full, as usual. I haven't tried this, but I presume you can override auto full beam by pulling the stalk, as that's what the manual implies.

Hi, Noticed this week one of my screen jets was very weak on my 2016 Superb Saloon, so took it off and blasted it with air to clean. Then noticed both my screen wash jets are very poor. The water tank is full. Could it be pump blocked, feeder pipe blocked? Is it easy to access the water reservoir and pump and how do I access it? Thank in advance Tony

Yup, typically Mahle rebranded to VW Group item at initial engine build and typically only Mann rebranded to VW Group item for service parts. I tend to look for VW Group at sensible prices and also for current Mann prices, and buy which ever is cheapest at the time.

Anyway 17s are on with ps5s , car drives so much nicer imho so all good here 🥰🤗

Hello Mick 9879 If it’s not too later there are loads of reasonable offers on eBay with full kit and free delivery when you have decided exactly what you want

Apparently my search skills aren't up to par on here, I apologize if this has been mentioned before. I'm in the middle of replacing the pistons on my 1.8 TSI with a 6-speed manual (LHC) transmission. Somehow, I forgot about the need to remove the screws on the seal behind the flywheel, to be able to remove the upper oil tray cover thingy. I'm thinking I'll disconnect the transfer box/bevelbox instead of having to remove subframe and so on. Also, is it really required to disconnect the driveshaft from the box going to the back wheels? I've already pulled the drive shafts and the right side drive shaft flange. Does anyone have any experience with this? Or if you have any tips on resources/videos of just this gearbox? I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

Don't know, but any of those you mentioned will be fine, as well as Mann.

Guys Today I fitted my dashcam from my previous car to the Karoq. My car has a rain sensor, so I decided to power it using a FitDvr adapter. This piggybacks into the wiring to the sensor and gives switched power, so no parking mode. Dongar also do a fitment for our cars, but were out of stock at the time. I took my time, ensuring proper connection and no damage to mirror shroud. It was dead easy. One thing to note is that the power doesn't switch off until 30s or so after you lock car and comes on when you open the door. For a video, watch FitDvr on YouTube for fitting to an Audi. Hope this helps someone.

On my little A series (it has the current software for touch screen etc) you simply say the word "next track" and it skips. No " hey Mercedes" required. If your car is similar, there are several commands you can use with direct speech too

I had a colleague who had one of these. The engine sounded great and he loved everything about it....except it ate front tyres strangely enough. MB said they often do that. Something to do with the standard alignment (it hopped about at low speed, especially manoeuvring and in cold weather). In the end, he took it to an alignment specialist and they adjusted the car to what they considered a more 'sensible' set up and there was once more peace, in the world.

Was ordered in January , No problem wish they would have let me know as little things like this sway customers to other place 👍👌
