  1. Turning off the wiping in reverse option stopped the rear wiper operating randomly on my Kodiaq. It’s hardly a hardship to flick the rear wiper when reversing to stop the annoying random rear wipe operation. Turning off the Auto wipers in the rain deactivates the auto front wiper function.
  2. Tool used on some models, not sure about Superb, to remove section of grill to allow towing eye to be screwed in.

    Maybe like me, everyone else is happy how it is and never looked into changing anything.
  4. Bonus. So if you download the Carista app, you will be able to scan for faults yourself
  5. Using that method without the battery being present would only result in the drivers door being locked. I believe there are covers on each door that can be removed to allow emergency locking of the other doors, but could prove to be a bit of a faff.
  6. I changed from 288 to 312 discs on my previous Yeti. Very easy swap, and does make a difference to braking performance. All you need is to change the calliper carriers and the 312 discs. 17” wheels are fine with 312 discs, my 16” winter wheels fitted with no problem.

    What benefits does the interior light coming on every time you turn off the ignition?
  8. This might be of interest.. https://youtu.be/I_sIRoPgFFI
  9. Obviously your choice of garage is not up on VAG cars then, as they would have the proper tool. Make you think would they have used VW approved oil. I would find a local VAG specialist for future work.
  10. If you want the auto lights to come on early ( when it’s just starting to get dark) then select early. If you want them to come on when it’s darker, select later. Cant make it any simpler than that.
  11. It determines how early or late the auto lights switch on.
  12. I would think a 150hp 250 Nm turbo engine would manage just fine.
  13. Sounds like you are describing the heated windscreen button from a mk 3
  14. A 40mm or 1.5” in old money is hardly a small increase in dia.
  15. Check here... https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/
  16. As above, it’s a reminder that you should have your headlights on, and not be driving around in the dark with the parking lights on. Just put the headlight switch in the auto position and you won’t get this problem.
  17. There’s actually not much difference in load space between a 5 seater with spare wheel and a 7 seater. The SE spec is pretty sparse, and you cannot add LED headlights that are standard on the SEL.
  18. Checking the battery voltage once you’ve unlocked, opened the bonnet and woken up systems will not give a reliable indication of state of charge.

    What makes you think you can’t?
  20. The only times the front assist warning has came up on my car are when the radar sensor has been covered in snow ice, and once when a wet leaf managed to stick to sensor. I believe if the radar unit gets very dirty it has the same effect.

  22. Do you have a tow bar fitted?
  23. You should never have the car holding on the gearbox parking pawl on its own, without the handbrake being on. When parking, the handbrake should be applied before selecting park, and when setting off you should select drive before releasing the handbrake, or just use the autohold system.
  24. I don’t know, but going by the number of slave cylinder problems that have been posted, and that it’s a gearbox out job, I would be tempted to replace it anyway.
