  1. The fuel gauge on my VRS reads the correct amount when I turn on the ignition then over about ten minutes it slowly drops to empty. I have fitted a new pump and sender but the fault remains, any ideas gratefully received.
  2. All tyres are newish and just balanced, new discs all round, 6 speed manual FWD
  3. My 2010 CR 140 estate is juddering when i accelerate, it happens around 2200 to 2500 rpm and is worse in 3rd and 4th gear whilst accelerating moderately, i have fitted a new dual mass flywheel and clutch, 2 new quality front struts and top bearings, 2 new drive shafts and a new gear box end top engine mount. I am now at the point of getting rid as the juddering is very noticeable and uncomfortable, the car has 140,000 miles on the clock and runs sweet, help ?
  4. I have just updated the firmware on my 2011 superb, however when I try to update the maps it spits the disc back out and I get a message CD/DVD error check disc. I have tried 3 different discs from 3 suppliers and all the same. its annoying as I now have no points of interest etc., the Columbus play CDs fine, help please
  5. Anyone any idea where I can get a front wheelarch liner from, just bought a 2016 ridiculously cheep after a little bump but it needs an offside font liner, anyone got one please ?
  6. Just bought a really nice 1.2 2005 fabia but the mirror switch is missing, I have tried two different ones neither work but I borrowed one from a polo and it worked fine. How do I know which switch I need ? Cheers Simon
  7. I have taken the car back for a free diagnostic check, the dealer has informed me the update was done successfully and there was no more they could do, I now am awaiting a response from Skoda UK.
  8. try the rear brake backplates, I tried everything on mine and when I had a tyre fitted I found it had rotted round the bolts, sounded just like the exhaust.
  9. my car was absolutely brilliant before it went in, i tow a caravan and like to be able overtake the slow tourists where i live, its also very hilly so I have noticed a big change since the fix, I repeat there was absolutely nothing miss with the car before fix !!!
  10. had mine done and its terrible, sluggish poor throttle response only the last 1/3 of the throttle pedal travel seems to do anything, and fuel consumption increased, I am awaiting a full diagnostic by Skoda and the I will challenge Skoda Uk re this matter, ruined a lovely car !
  11. all gone over my head, but if some one can put the old map back in i would be very interested indeed, cash waiting etc, cheers simon.
  12. DONT have it done, my 140 is now awful, flat, unresponsive, and fuel economy 7mpg worse at 70 mph, I am now in dispute with Skoda !
  13. just had mine done shocking !! DONT DO IT ! power well down, fuel economy up, BEWARE.I am, now in dispute with Skoda over this matter.
  14. I have had my Superb in for recall, my advice is dont do it my car is now flat as a fart, fuel economy 7mpg down, sluggish at motorway speeds, noticeable turbo lag, in short ruined a good car, anyone else have any experience of this. I am now awaiting a full diagnostic at mySskoda dealer ( which they wanted me to pay for, i refused of course) If the diagnostics prove nothing wrong then I have to take it up with Skoda UK. Help I want as much feedback as poss to confront Skoda with, many thanks Simon.
  15. Had my 2.0 ltr done, its CRAP, flat as a fart and 7 mpg down am now in dispute with skoda, awaiting full diagnostic check ( which they want me to pay for, I have refused to pay !) It has ruined what I thought was a brilliant car!
