Wire is normally sized by the current rating to avoid overheating of the wire. Here that is not a problem as the horn is only on for a few seconds occasionally. So the wire has to be sized by its volt drop over the total circuit length. Just a similar cable to the one on the existing horn should be a good choice. The rest of the fixed wiring and the relay will see twice the current but should not be a problem. For reference on some cars the relay is permanently powered and operated by grounding the other relay coil pin through the horn push button. Some do this through electronics from the horn push button. My conclusion is just put the second horn in parallel with the original horn using a similar size wire. The fixed wiring is probably already sized for two horns as used on other varients such as in my Elegance model.

Agree on dust they emit but can't fault their performance. Nearly no squeal on my though but i have different calipers now so maybe something to do with that.

DS2500 are dusty as hell, find myself having to clean wheels every 2 weeks and they are covered!!! But i do like their feel and performance. Mine don't squeal only very rarely- maybe something to do with my calipers being changed to 4 pots. Had ATE ceramic pads before and they were quiet, hardly any dust but used to glaze so much even from daily driving and their performance was horrible

Sure is, it's probably just a "procurement" thing?

Hello! I am new to modifying and I currently drive a 2021 Colour Edition Fabia with 1.0L TSI with 95HP. I have a few ideas on what to modify and would like to get some pointers on where to look and what brands would benefit the car more than the other but that is also down to me for research. Thank you for reading, Boifreson.

Yes, I've had to turn mine off a couple of times. I'll have to check on the car, but I think it was on the navigation settings, accessed from the 3-dots button. I'll look tomorrow if that doesn't work.

This is reported from time to time. In every case so far it was because the key fob button was pressed when the key fob was in a pocket, the owner bent down etc. It certainly happened to me more than once. The central key fob button seems to protrude a bit and is really easy to press accidentally. I now keep mine in a small leather case and since then no problem. Are you certain that the opening was not caused by inadvertent pressing of the key fob button?

Hi mate, thNks for the pointers there. Brake fluid was done at 3 years, 25000 miles 👍🏻

Many thanks, that makes more sense. So since Skoda just parallel the horns the AI suggestions of using 2.5mm ² is not fact based. PS how do you get the correctly formatted superscripts for wire sizes?

We arrived at precisely the right moment! For around 5 minutes the sky was absolutely spectacular although within a couple of minutes it was like someone had turned out the light.................

Thanks, it worked! Got it activated. It is showing only Android Auto and MirrorLink, not the iPhone variant. I think my USB port isnt compatible with it.

The easiest way is to measure them

I'm looking at getting a superb mk2 so I'm just doing some research on installing an android auto unit. At the moment I have a 2008 BMW E61 530d and I have an MMI box which piggy backs of the original screen and uses the cars fibreoptic auto cable so there is no audio quality loss and I just need to press a button to switch between the MMI box and the original infotainment. Are there any similar options like this for the superb mk2? Or are any of the double din replacements actually worth while, do they keep the audio quality and also keep any of the original infotainment information? I've read about the MIB STD2 unit. Is that just a unit from slight later skoda models that comes with android auto?

So I’ve got a 2014 tdi vrs with 106k miles , white with black pack and canton sound. , I do about 7k miles per year, vast majority are motorway miles. Ive owned it 7 years and serviced myself every year. I changed the glow plugs at 102k Clutch peddle sometimes goes spongy and only returns to half way point (once every couple of weeks) , I assume it’s slave cyclinder next to clutch? I have never changed the fluid and the level hasn’t gone down? It’s still on original clutch. I am now also having to top up the coolant , likely about 1lr per year, again I assume it may be egr cooler leaking as no signs of contamination on oil filler cap, any other quick checks I could perform? The water pump / timing belt was done at about 50k before I bought the car, is it due a new one. Just wondering potential costs for new clutch / slave cyclinder? New water pump / timing belt? I love the car, just wondering if it’s now time bite the bullet and get a newer car , possibly cupra Leon estate 150bhp , just wondering if it will compare?

Does anybody have a link for de 0253 frimware ?

0.5mm2. BR is the universal wire colour for earth. The 11 in the box is to fuse 17 in the E Box. Which would be the engine compartment fuse box. The other end of the fuse is connected to the car battery, so is a permanent live.

I have acces to dealer ODIS, CRACK ODIS, VCDS and VCP. witch means I should have both of the VAS

Do you have a VAS6154a or b?

Replacment due 10color ambient lighting and after replacment reverse Light doesnt work. PLA and camera work only via Car moving backwards(esp signal). Heated front window lights up but after second turn itself off. Midleconsole buttoms (autohold and doorlock) doesnt illuminate orange

Welcome. I would not be so sure a Motability car has not been ragged. It might be one Registered Keeper and any amount of drivers and the disabled person maybe never in the car. My Motability cars were Never Raced or Rallied, well not much. As to Servicing was it just Oil & Filter changes at Flexable / Variable Servicing. Motability do not want them serviced on Fixed Servicing. Unusual that Motability would agree to a DQ381 DSG service before the 80,000 miles. Was the brake fluid changed at 2 years or 3 years? Where the Spark Plugs changed at 40,000 miles, then at 65,000 miles? You need to be sure that the Motability car was leased the full 3 years and not returned early so not Motability having the service cand MOT done before the car went to BCA.

What problems are you having? Why the replacement? Error log readout?

Hello, I was retrofiting BCM with SW175 to SW0236 on 2016 superb estate. New BCM 5Q0907084CG was codet with dataset from another superb and filter to my Car where I was able to do CP. But because the dataset from another car was not similar I have same issuers. I’m looking for prcoding via Vctool or pr coder dataset via VCP but I’m not able to find something witch would work. Thank you fór your advices.

Aye not a cheap fix or something I could do myself so it's putting me off a dsg

I fear corrosion will get mine eventually, had a steel coolant hose rust through and subframes starting to get scabby

Thank you all for your input. They're not in stock yet, but I managed to pre-order a set of the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 tyres from Costco in Aberdeen. They kindly let me have them at their discounted sale price, even though the sale will have ended long before the tyres arrive. At under £700 for the full set and fitting, I couldn't refuse. I'll try to remember to add a review here in the new year after the tyres have had a good work out ☃️
