This issue sounds to me just that the suspension in the superb is like a bouncy castle. I have 3 large speed bumps on my street. In my Octavia vRS you can comfortable drive over them at 50kph and the suspension reacts immediately, no rebound or bouncing. In my superb sportline taking the same bumps at 30kph feels like you are going to take off, then bouncing on a trampoline and then feels like it bottoms out going down the back side before bouncing again... It's the only thing I'm disappointed with in the car & wish I'd bought the DCC option.

Did you give it a night to clear on it's own? On my Octavia I get a dashboard warning "battery low change key battery". I swap the battery for a new one and I still have the same error on the dash & kessy doesn't work. I lock the car with the key and the next morning kessy is working again and the message is gone.

Basically the same for me. Originally I kept saying cancel but until you accept you get the same popup every morning and evening you get it the car.

My car is the last of the mk3s so less than 2 years old with 1+ year for the OTA updates so I assume it's the latest version... I'm the only person using the car so the profile doesn't change. Edit.... I checked and it is: Hardware H25 Software 0330 Nav DB 25.8 It's showing no updates available

This is an image of the message:

Infrequently, I get this popup on my infotainment display saying "Update Vehicle Settings" Apply/Cancel... I've not changed anything in the My Skoda app and not seen any SW updates. If I say cancel, I'll get the same request the next day and the next. Does anyone know what "settings" are being changed? Gabbo

This is the blurb from the website so it seems they don't offer any additional features but OBD11 is able to request the official security codes to be able to continue to use coding features on newer cars: Vehicle Diagnostic Protection (also known as SFD – Schutz Fahrzeug Diagnose) is an additional security layer that requires authorization between the vehicle and manufacturer. It's been introduced by Volkswagen AG to help protect vehicle owners from fraud by providing information on who and when has made modifications to their vehicles. SFD restricts functions like adaptations, coding, and parametrizations. This protection applies to the models manufactured from 2020 with the MQB Evo (e.g., VW Golf 8, Škoda Octavia IV, Seat Leon IV, Audi A3 8Y, Q4) and MEB (e.g., VW ID.3, ID.4, Škoda Enyaq) platforms. The control units protected by SFD include Engine Electronics, Central Electrics, Instrument Cluster, Gateway Electrics, Multimedia Unit, and more. About OBDeleven's SFD unlock We've created an SFD auto-unlock feature to simplify the use of SFD protection, or, in other words – make SFD protection nearly invisible. If SFD auto-unlock is turned on and you try to change long coding, adaptation, or use One-Click Apps in a locked control unit, the OBDeleven VAG app will automatically request the SFD token from Volkswagen servers, unlock the control unit, and apply the changes you want.

Also Id imagine that whilst you return Journey distance is 1000km, the majority of that mileage will be on the highway with few times that you will need to heavily apply the brakes if your drive carefully. You could try to find a local garage who could change them while you finish your trip. 8 months seems like a very short time to replace pads again unless you use your car as a taxi. Could it possibly just an electrical fault & the brakes themselves are fine?

I don't suppose you have any pictures of the location of the damaged wires? Where to look is anyone has the same issue in the future?

If you have an OBD dongle/app it would be easy to check if it was the turbo position using live data to record Boost Pressure, Boost Pressure Setpoint, turbo Vane Position etc. Boost pressure faults are one of the hardest to diagnose and will take some time before DTCs will trigger because it's normal that the boost pressure takes time to build and it's not always possible to achieve the requested value depending on driving conditions, altitude, towing etc

There's an audio part of the forum, it's probably worth posting there as well. There are are several helpful members with knowledge of SW updates and repairs.

Me too, I just drove from Switzerland to Warrington (1300km) on one tank in my 2l DSG 200PS. considering 2/3 of the journey was on the French highway at around 130kph I was extremely impressed. It was always a small gripe with my previous Octavia that the tank was on the small side. Can't fault the superb for long journeys. Cavernous boot space and great for cruising.

Issue fixed with the ABS sensor change?

If you consider that the fuel in the tank sloshes around a lot while driving & when stationary it does not know if the car is tipped or inclined causing the level to change compared with what is really there you can understand that when adding a small amount of fuel the car will take an average reading of some time before deciding how much fuel is there. There will be a threshold like 20% over which is will register more quickly a refill amount. In this situation, you know you've added 6l of fuel so you can drive it until the system is able to catch-up. Especially in a petrol car, it won't stop if there is really fuel in the tank even if the distance to empty says 0 miles

To change the pump is very difficult but to disconnect the electrical connector so it always stays open might be easier?? There's a huge thread in the Octavia MK3 forum where some people did this instead of pay for the replacement. Also if you go to a Skoda garage your can ask them if Skoda are still contributing to the cost of the replacement. My car was 2 years out of warranty but Skoda paid 60% of the cost (albeit 7 years ago). It's a long shot but it's also an expensive repair

The known issue was related to different types materials of the shaft and sleeve which controls the flow. One expands quicker than the other causing it to stick leading to overheating. Once the temperatures equalise the sleeve pops open and allows the cold coolant to mix with the engine circuit. Unless you live somewhere very cold, the sleeve will stay open for the rest of the drive until the engine is turned off. I had this behaviour for a couple of months waiting for the part to arrive at the dealer. Obviously don't drive to far with the temperature at the limit but once the temperature drops, you're usually safe to continue for the rest of the journey & it shouldn't occur again

TDI water pump failures from 2014-2016 MY are quite common unfortunately. The failure start to show in a similar way to yours, always at the same time after starting if you have very similar daily profile/route. The temperature jumps quickly just before the redline and after some short time the electronic thermostat sleeve pops open and the temperature quickly returns to normal for the rest of the drive. In the past skoda were offering 50% or more of the cost but I'm not sure this is still honoured. A DTC check can usually confirm this kind of daily if you have an OBD Reader they'll be a thermostat position or control error

However, as the mechatronic unit has recently been changed I would be more inclined to side with D402s theory that during the change something has not been reconnected properly or has been damaged. As it's so recently after this replacement I would be going back to the garage that did it and asking them to check it

If you have that warnings there should be several DTCs in lots of different control modules. I had a similar problem on my Octavia recently which turned out to be 1 ABS sensor fault. I have a Bluetooth OBD dongle ans the free version of car scanner for Android. This tool did not report any DTCs from the ABS module despite 7 other errors in different modules. To determine which ABS sensor might be at fault you can monitor the wheel speed. The one that stays at 0 or is different to the others is not good. There's more info here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/533111-rear-wheel-speed-sensors-are-they-the-same/

I've just had the same issue in my Octavia & the issue was the left rear wheel speed sensor. A code reader is useful to help pinpoint the problem. I was lucky the the problem was just the sensor. The magnetic ring is built into the hub and can also often be the cause. I uploaded a post about it here:

In case it helps others who have a similar error, I was using Car Scanner to diagnose the failure & it doesnt read DTCs from the ABS module (which is where you'll find the helpful DTC saying "Rear Left Wheel Speed Sensor Electrical Error". I had about 12 other DTCs from various modules saying "U1123 - Databus Message Missing" which is a bit misleading. The message is not missing just not plausible. The one DTC description which got me onto the cause was the "WheelPulseFail", "WheelImpulse" and "ESP_19: Fehlerwert im signal ESP_HL_Radgeschw" HL Radgeschw is german for "Rear Left WheelSpeed". I will attach the complete log of failures as it could help someone in the future: Car Scanner ELM OBD2 Version: 1.118.0/401180/GP DTC report Connection profile: Skoda MQB, PQ26: Diesel DPF var.1 [EA288]Date: 6/19/2025 12:51:45 PM VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx OBD-II No DTC found. 19.

So it seems that you can swap the rear sensors as the sensor has a straight design. I didnt swap them in the end because it was a complete faff to get the sensor off. The bolt was completely rusted & it was difficult to fit the bit into the head. Eventually it came out & I am still not sure if the head was a Torx or Hex fitting... (The garage said Torx but the new bolt I fitted has a hex head). As usual the electrical connector is the most finger destroying part. To remove the sensor itself, you need to give it a lot of force or lever with a screw driver. The plastic body of the sensor acts to position the sensor in the correct place so has a strong interfence fit by design. I tested the electrical connector & there was 12V at Key On so I took the chance to replace the sensor rather than try to test it first as I needed a new bolt anyway due to the state of the head of the old one. The old sensor which failed was part number: WHT 003 864 A The new sensor I fitted is the latest version: WHT 003 864 C After fitting and reconnection, the ABS light & Tyre Warning Light were still illuminated. However, after driving above 30kph both lights disappeared & there are now no faulty at all displayed in the infotainment. I checked with Car Scanner & the Right Rear Vehicle Speed is now correctly displayed (before it was reading intermittently but mostly 0kph. Another simple(ish) correction saving me a fair few hundred francs...!

I have adjusted by handbrake on my car using the instructions in this video. Its very simple to do & after only a few quarter turns the slack/spring is taken out of the handbrake & it stay firmly down when released.

I have adjusted the handbrake as shown in the video above & all went fine. The slack is taken out of the handbrake lever with only a few quarter turns of the nut & it feels very good now. I have also checked that it is releasing the brakes when the handbrake is taken off. Whilst I was doing another job (changing the rear wheel speed sensor) I took the opportunity to take some photos of where the handbrake cable attaches to the rear calipers in case it helps someone else out another time.

Does anyone know if the rear ABS sensors are the same left and right? (Octavia estate TDI VRS 2014 - Manual FWD) My left rear sensor seems to be faulty (intermittent wheel speed monitored in CarScanner App vs other wheels) & I would like to swap with the right to confirm its only the sensor. I have a christmas tree of warning lights & messages relating to tyre monitor, ACC, Parking Sensors, StopStart. I have read that the sensor & wheel bearing might need to be replaced (as the magnetic ring is built into the hub) so would like to test first before ordering one or both. Yesterday I was trying to auto-adjust the handbrake tension (Press Brake pedal hard, release, 3 hard pull ups on the handbrake & then release) - it didnt really work. The next day, I had all of these errors relating to the ABS before moving the car (most errors appeared as soon as the ignition was on). Could I have damaged the sensor or wheel bearing by pulling the brake too hard (i dont think I did) or is it just a coincidence ?? It is my wifes car so I dont really know if there were these messages before (she says no obviously ;) ).. Since then, I have adjusted the handbrake cable - maybe max one full turn to stop the hand brake warning popping up when driving over bumps. Otherwise, the car drives fine, the brakes don't seem to be binding or scraping or squeaking & I don't feel any play in the rear bearing or wheel. I will try to swap them tomorrow, test the power to the sensor & see if the issue follows the wheel or sensor.
