  1. Should of done a dyno dynamics rolling road before and after, take guys power quote with a grain of salt
  2. As above guys Are these screws towards the wing for the up down adjustment I take it? I will hook up to Vagcom while adjusting, do anyone know the specific path (central electric/Xenon range?) Cheers guys!
  3. I used to do the same on my BMW autoboxes a few years back DSG yes and no, I know certain cars you can launch control where after a short preparation of buttons and sport mode you can floor the throttle and hold the brake and release when you want to launch On the 6 speed DSG diesel I am not sure
  4. After finally getting the Columbus firmware done and the V13 maps I cant be bothered with changing everything!
  5. Yes this is what I remember now, 5 years (which mine was due) and 120l or 140k was mentioned
  6. I have seen diesel or exhaust fumes in many cars Exhaust fumes into cabin Flexi pipe on downpipe or DPF Bad Downpipe/DPF connection onto turbo/manifold Exhaust manifold itself cracked/loose EGR piping/seal leaking Fuel smell into cabin Fuel filter assembly top Injectors underneath engine cover Fuel lines/clips Get a good torch in there and have a really good look Failing that get it up on a ramp, undertrays off and look A smoke test will help with manifold and exhaust issues A leak should be quite obvious if you are smelling it
  7. This thread is proof that Skoda dealers talk out of their @rses! Camberley service centre was the place that did my cambelt and water pump and they lied to me about the drop link being split and play in it 6 days before this I had an MOT and just to make sure I bought some ZF Lemforder drop links a few days later and had them changed The old ones were perfectly fine I don't like being lied to for them to make more money :no:
  8. Hi, yes the PD engine cambelt interval is shorter due to the stresses on the cambelt as the cam directly works a rocker arm that work the injectors directly I had this PD170 engine 2 times, and 2 PD140's and they were good, I have a CR170 now and that is good but with a different torque curve
  9. I am going to do the full reset with vagcom to see if it will still change up so early.. nothing to lose I guess
  10. Mine does this too, changes up very early on light throttle
  11. 180k thats 110k+ miles isnt it I was informed 5 years and 120k I think very recently by Skoda when I had my one done Anyone confirm this this is the newer guidelines? Late 2010 car, so had it done late 2015 at 105K
  12. 6 months old? would that be a MK3? Obvious question, was it like this before? Either way mine changes up very early and can labour slightly if you push a bit much on the pedal Let me know how you get on
  13. LOL! My octavia was the same, had a ton of leaves and stuff all down there make a nice little pile on the drive Will get the arch liners opened and cleaned out properly on the next wash on a dry day as p1ssing down all day today Then a heavy layer of anti corrosion wax in the offending areas!
  14. Hey guys So Mk2 Superbs, do they suffer with the leaves and crud behind the front arches near the sills? My octavia Mk2 did suffer with this.. like a fair old pile of crud which i cleaned out and will be checking anyway soon on the superb Cheers guys!
  15. Using these right now and seem very good, Camskill are are £233 delivered for 4 in 225/40/18 92Y Rainsport 3's are made by Continental as they are mostly or fully owned by them I cant remember and cant be bothered to check LOL
  16. My old VRS failed the MOT with the previous owner when he lowered it The posts are on Briskoda of how he had to get it manually adjusted
  17. Hi guys Thinking of adding Eibach Pro springs to the Superb Mk2 in the near future for the approx 30mm drop and keeping good ride quality Already have VCDS and can put it in learning mode after the adjustment (not sure which segments just yet) I have spotted the white allen sockets on the back of the light fitting full beam and dipped beam areas Is this for up and down? I had lowering spring on my Mk2 Octavia and the lights had to be adjusted but that is slightly different but easy enough Any help appreciated guys Thanks again
  18. Certain skoda service guys dont know what the hell they are talking about either.. as I found out recently
  19. V12 went good as I needed to use the Navigation, will be putting V13 in the next couple of days when my DVD DL pack arrives! will let you know how it goes!
