Launch control
Hi Try as I may I can't activate launch control. Should I see the words launch control displayed? Foot on brake Start car Selector in drive SS off Mode select sport TC off (short press). I also tried long hold which gives ESC Sport. Pull selector back and release. Warning lights off systems turned off but no indication of launch control Any ideas?

DQ250 and axle ratios
I thought I'd ask the question and learn. On the 206 4x4 1) Why is gear 3 & 4 stacked so close? 2) Why does it show 2 axle ratios? If its front and rear how do they have the same wheel speed? Haldex intermediate gear?

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Finally got around to running the jb4 cable from the obd port through the firewall. And I bought a whiteline Golf R rear sway bar during the week from a Golf owner. And I got a delivery from the US for some calipers. So I have a few months of jobs.

Thanks, I thought it might just lift out easily. I'll attack it with a wet rag.

Another timing belt question .... appologies.
I think Skoda UK is gouging you.

Another timing belt question .... appologies.
Hi I have a 2011 Skoda Superb 2.0 CR 125TDI with the CFGB engine. When I look in the Service Schedule I see a timing belt change due at 210,000 Kms with no time specified. I'm in the process of selling the car having bought a 206 SportsLine in February and I regularly get asked if the timing belt has been changed. When I look at the Skoda Maintenance Document in Erwin I see the following Australia is on the list of Dust-rich countries, its a large country, and certainly in central Australia the dust can only be described as invasive. Sydney on the other hand is more like a warmer London. I had to hang up on a ***** last night who, only one question in, wanted to argue that it was 100,000km or 5 years which ever was the earlier. I'm getting less tolerant as I get older. Should I be going off the Service manual for the CFGB - 210,000 Kms or something different? thanks in advance.

MK3 Octavia Chassis Brace Kit
Don't waste your money. If they can't tell you how many millimeters the chassis is flexing before and after its BS. And for the front brace they actually bolt it to the front sub frame. Doesn't the front subframe tie the chassis together there? A bit of flat plate isn't going to do anything.

Constantly drifting to the right
For me its a bit difficult to tell but does the above show that they have addressed crabbing like Danoid mentions or thrust angle? Understanding Thrust Angle and Alignment | TireBuyer.com

Constantly drifting to the right
Can you post it up here?
-
Constantly drifting to the right
As Danoid said it could be thrust angle. Did they actually do a full alignment and give you the results? The other thing that will do that is if the wheel caster is uneven side to side. It will pull the steering wheel to one side.

Bigger brakes
and you can then jump to the Porsche Macan 4 pot on the 340 disk or buy the 345 disk. The best I've seen is 252 USD + freight. Need the pads and brake line as well which is available to suit this conversion. Not tried it,

Constantly drifting to the right
"Not nearly as much"? So it's observed on other vehicles? Do your roads have camber built into them? If you have a nice flat piece of road will it pull to one side? I can only think of Alignment Tyres Brake drag Road

2.0 TSI Remap Options
I'll preface this by saying its software (box or map) and you need to trust the software developer if you're going to use it. That means a good reputation, long time in the market, large user base and probably don't be the first to use a new revision. Something like a JB4 works by sitting in between the ECU and sensor. Its allowing the user to manage boost pressure and fueling only. The ECU is in control so its using factory parameters. The JB4 doesn't send out of bounds information to the ECU, rather it sends altered information to the ECU. For example if the boost limit it 28lbs and you want 5lbs more than standard (Map 3) the JB4 tells the ECU that the boost is less than 28 lbs so it keeps boosting until the JB4 sees 33lbs at the sensor. Because of that the JB4 uses the factory safety systems. If it detects knock from the factory system, for example, it drops into a pass through mode and allows the ECU to have total control without alteration by the JB4. I'm sure you could go full retard but it is some what idiot proof. But like most software you need to understand how to use it to get the most out of it. No, its not traceable. That's just what map sellers say to push people towards buying a map. The ECU only ever sees factory levels or below. That's how it works. Only the JB4 sees the data from the sensor so it can't be recorded by the ECU. That said the JB4 is for "stage 1" maybe "2". Its for a TIP and light upgrades. Why would you pay extra for a map at that level when it doesn't have the versatility of the JB4, affects your warranty and it doesn't out perform the JB4? And when your ready to go to stage 3 tune you can uninstall the JB4 and sell it on ebay and get most of your money back. Its a performance and financial no brainer. Below is a group of dudes taking their cars to a group dyno session as dudes do. Maybe on a different day you get different results but the JB4 is at least comparable. Burger Motorsports JB4 Performance Tune VW / Audi / Skoda – AutoInstruct If your going more than stage 1 and a bit then you can't use a JB4. So changing the turbos or changing the exhaust for a fully sic downpipe with a marginal cat (or no cat) in the wrong position isn't going to work with a JB4. For that you need a "map" so you can go outside the factory parameters without the ECU complaining. Personally I'm skeptical of the whole tuning scene. If I go to an accountant, a doctor, a mechanic I pay them their rate and they use their expertise to do the best for me. Thats not the case with "tuners", they are basically retailers trying to sell as much brand X as possible. The marketing is full of vague claims and light on any testable data on purpose. My favorite claim from APR for their intercooler is "Designed by engineers with lasers". Impressive. Do they mean... like in Star Wars? Pew Pew. I'll probably get a tune at some point.
