I'd be interested to know the answer to this as well

Hi Keith,
I use TPS Chester for bits and pieces - I have never had any trouble as I used to work at a VAG Bodyshop and as such know most of the guys!!
As far as I'm aware there are no hard and fast rules so it would be worth contacting your local branch direct and I'm sure they'll help!! The parts sales guys work on a commission basis and have targets to hit so if you're looking to buy they're always looking to sell

Cheers Loz!!
You'll be 1st next time

Hey guys!!
Picking up my vRS PD on Friday and I have a quick query with regards to the tyre size on the 18" Zenith's!
Anyone know what size comes as standard??

The skoda dealer said they charge €100 for a quote and then take it out of the price of the work. That sounded a bit odd to me especially seeing as it wasnt an insurance claim. He said it was a minor job so there was no point giving a quote and just gave me the advice on the polish instead.
To be fair charging for a private quote is pretty much the industry standard, although 100 Euros sounds a bit excessive.
The idea behind this is to stop you visiting 6 different bodyshops and then choosing the cheapest!! A decent bodyshop estimator is paid around £25 - £40k per year and is normally working to tight time schedules so they don't want to waste time with private estimates for jobs that are unlikely to be carried out.
Bodyshops are paid to carry out estimates for insurance work, if you have been directed there by the insurance company, so won't be worried about charging you. If you have not been directed to them by your insurer they would probably charge you for the estimate for the same reasons as above.

Sorry if any of this has been covered before but i'm posting this at work and don't have time to do a proper search!!!
I have a 2008 '58' Superb Elegance with the Columbus and in-built Bluetooth system. I have recently changed mobile phones from a Nokia E71 to a Samsung Galaxy S. I did some research before deciding on the Galaxy as I wanted my new handset to pair with the hands-free kit. I tested the phone before I handed over any money and we managed to get the phone to pair ok (after some persuasion) although it was a demo set - not the handset I now have. I am now having some issues getting the phone to connect and I need some assistance:-
1) When I initially turn the ignition on the system attempts to connect to the 2 previous phones not my current phone. Is it possible to remove the previous phones from the Columbus?? If so, how??
2) When I do get the new phone to pair the Columbus shows 'No Network' even though the phone still shows full signal strength. With the E71 the phone would show no signal as the Columbus had taken over the controls. Is this a handset issue or Columbus issue??
Many thanks in advance!!!!!
-
Just a quick one!!
Has anyone managed to connect a HTC Desire to a Columbus in a Superb II???????
-
But if you have alarm installed wait before holding the lock button for 2 secs or otherwise you will disable the internal movement sensors and towing sensor.
Whoa, now we're getting complicated again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Thanks for the replies guys - as helpful as ever!!
Looks like holding the lock button is the way forward then.
-
Keep the lock button on the remote depressed for a few seconds and windows will close (if left open) and mirrors fold.
Brian
Cheers for that, i'll give it a try later!
-
Does anyone know whether I can set my electric folding mirrors to automatically fold when I lock the car?!?
A Merc E-Class I had for a while did this and it was very usefull!!!
-
Should do. Current UK specification bluetooth connectivity on the Superb is VW GSM3 which requires RSAP.
Best regards
David
Cheers for that, just wish my iPhone would connect but i'd rather change my phone than the Superb!!!!!
-
Does anyone know whether a Nokia E71 will connect ok with the standard phone set-up on the Columbus???
Cheers,
Martin

Quick initial thumbs up for Mitchells!!!
I knew of this dealership as I used to market them during my employment at a VAG approved bodyshop. When I decided to trade-in my Mk5 Golf GTi they were advertising a couple of FL Octavia vRS TDi's and Superb CR170 TDi Elegance's so I decided to pop along for a look. I was dealt with by Mark Singer who looks like your traditional young polished salesman but was a pleasure to deal with.
He gave me an initial valuation for my part-ex which was acceptable and after an initial chat I leaned towards the Superb. I explained I was after a DSG equipped vehicle and as the only CR170 TDi DSG vehicle they had was the Group Sales Directors car he got the keys and off we went for a test drive. Unfortunately they didn't have any suitable cars in immediately so as I left I gave Mark a budget and a wish list of specification - including paddle shift which I know is pretty rare on a Superb. I explained I was going away to Spain for a fortnight and that I would contact him on my return.
Within 5 days of being away Mark e-mailed to say they had taken a vehicle in part-ex from a regular customer that he felt was ideal but that another sales guy had a possible buyer. I explained I was unsure of commiting to a purchase whilst on holiday but he agreed to hold the vehicle for a returnable £500 deposit pending a test drive and inspection when I returned. We agreed the finances of the deal (very impressively in my favour) and I paid the deposit.
I popped down the day I flew back and completed the deal and I have had the car for 3 days now. Mark had arranged some flowers for the wife (something Mitchells do with every sale!!) which was much appreciated. I have had to e-mail Mark today with a couple of very minor issues and I hope the outcome will follow the impressive display so far!!!!
-
After 6 months of fantastic Mk5 Golf GTi ownership it was becoming increasingly obvious that the running costs (ie Shell V-Power bills!!) was more than I was prepared to pay. Since owning a Mk1 Octavia vRS Estate previously and still running a Fabia vRS for SWMBO I wanted to get back in a Skoda.
Initially I was set on a FL Octavia vRS CR TDi but after a test drive in a Superb CR170 TDi my mind was changed!!!!! A week before jetting off to Spain for a fortnight I left a wishlist with Mitchells Skoda in Chester to see whether they could find the appropriate vehicle for me. Within a week I had details for a car they felt fitted the bill and after a few days of ownership I couldn't be happier.
There are a couple of small issues that I didn't pick up on initially (wheel white worm, passenger airbag light poorly fitting and a bent chrome door trim) that I am awaiting an e-mail back to confirm they can sort but other than that the car is fantastic.
She's a 58-reg Elegance CR170 DSG with full black leather, paddle-shift, rear heated seats, removeable towbar and upgraded stereo system.
The only thing I am likely do is get a Revo re-map just to try to improve power delivery and economy.
Any comments, good or bad, are welcome!!!!!

Yesterday I picked up a 58 reg Superb CR170 DSG with the Columbus unit. I wanted to put some tunes onto the HD using an SD card as I haven't sorted the iPod connection yet.
I have tried using 2 existing cards I have (1 x SD, 1 x SDHC(?)) and when they are put in the unit all i get is an SD card error message, any ideas?????
Both of the cards had been used in a digital camera but I re-formatted the SD card and still had issues, although it was formatted using the camera.
-
As promised here is the power graph!!!
I knew all the usual bickering would start as soon as I mentioned figures
At the end of the day the car has been transformed, Will provided a great service and all for a bargain price compared to everyone else
