  1. The Sat Nav in my 2013 model probably needs an upgrade to reflect changes in road lay outs etc Is this possible? If so, presume it is a Main Dealer job?
  2. As a consequence of the new front springs, it seems my dipped headlamp beams have possibly altered as a consequence> I have been flashed 3-4 times by oncoming cars since the springs were renewed so I assume the dipped beams are set too high. Appreciate any thoughts please
  3. Thank you for this. I have had both my front springs replaced. A hefty £320 for the pair.
  4. Has anyone experienced problems with front springs. I have had just one break on me and have had it replaced. The garage told me that they have to replace them quite regularly on all models. Wonder if it is worthwhile having the other spring replaced too. Just grateful that the spring went whilst I was at home and not on a journey.
  5. Since returning from having my car serviced (Superb L&K Combi), the average fuel consumption seems to be stuck on 26mpg and there is an icon on a letter O which a line through it SW/NW which presumably means there is a problem. I cant find any details on this within the handbook and it appears the problem does not affect the 'Real Time' MPG detail. Appreciate any guidance please. btw I appreciate it has been discussed before but, if anyone is interested, my average real time fuel consumption is about 13% lower than recorded on the trip computer, However for a big car the overall real time average for the car is consistently 40mpg despite the fact I dont go on so many long hauls as I did when first getting the car.
  6. Sorry if this has been discussed before but according to Tyre retailers, the PSI on my Superb Mk 11 Estate 4 x 4, tyre pressures should be 32/34 + 2 PSI when carrying loads. However my front tyres, in particular, seem to wear on the outside although I have the tracking adjusted regularly. My garage suggests upping the PSI to 38. Any thoughts please?
  7. Thanks for all the assistance on this

  9. Looking at buying a petrol Scala with the auto box. Would be really interested in hearing back from those who have one on their impressions. Thanks.
  10. Interesting suggestion re Powder Coating. Isnt that a fairly expensive process?
  11. I have had my Diamond Cut wheels replaced once already under warranty and they are beginning to again show wear around the centre boss. Any thoughts on a suitable non Diamond Cut cost effective 18" replacements which look the part? Presume I will have to advise my insurance company. The wheels and tyre on my Superb L & K have been the main bug bear on the car which is otherwise great.
  12. Thank you for this. I am sure this is a very basic question but how do you delete the previous phone?
  13. Have a new Samsung 10 phone and it seems unwilling to connect with my car system The phone Wi -Fi connection is 'on' but my Superb's in car system refuses the recognise the phone. Any suggestions please?
  14. Grateful for any advice on best options to buy replacement wiper blades for my L & K estate. Presume Bosch are the best option but priciest?
  15. I have a 140bhp 4x4 Auto estate In over 5 years of ownershio I have averaged 40/41 tank to tank around 9,000 miles per annum Maxi Dot runs 15% higher Round town I get around 38mpg and 46/7 mpg on a run
  16. Anyone ever experienced problems with paint work on a Skoda, less than 3 years old?. Our family Fabia (16 plate) in Skoda blue has a black roof and some of the paint on one side is beginning to blister slightly revealing the basic blue underneath, This indicates that the black paint has been painted over the blue as a secondary process during production. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Presume this is something that could be pursued via warranty? Grateful for any advice
  17. Alarm on my 16 Plate Fabia petrol has started regularly going off 10-15 seconds after locking the car. This means I cant lock the car Any thoughts please?
  18. Just had cambelt and water pump changed (5 years old/41,000 miles) for £369 at specialist VAG Independent
  19. My Nextbase Dash Cam is attached to the windscreen by a suction pad but regularly falls off Any suggestion how to make the connection more permanent please?
  20. As someone who struggles with technology, I have just had my Samsung 5 upgraded to a Samsung 7 and I cant get a connection onto my car phone system Any suggestions please?
  21. Any suggestion for best place to buy a replacement offside rear light cluster for Superb Estate 11 and likely cost. Are they easy to replace? Consequence of someone reversing into me in a car park!!
  22. My second set of Diamond Cut Wheels are beginning to blister (both sets lasted less than 20k miles) Now thinking of having the wheels powder coated and wonder if anyone has any recommendations/pictures if they have gone down this road?
  23. Unfortunately posted on Fabia 11 site rather than Fabia 111 so apologies. However, to repeat, my lad is due a first service on his newish Fabia and the invoice says 2 Free services included, presumably as part of the package. It doesn't say what's included and he didn't enquire. Advice appreciated. Many thanks
  24. I am another nerd who keeps regular brim to brim records. My L & K diesel estate auto 4 x 4 estate has averaged approx 41mpg over 27,000 miles of careful motoring Maxi Dot shows approx 15% above what I am achieving in 'real time'
