Anyone tried Michelin Cross Climate tyres?
Dustybin1923 replied to bigjohn's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Ok I've had these onfor a week now and I'm finding them ok.just a bit noisy on full lock ,i sent the car into my local dealer today for 4 wheel alignment as ats couldn't do it as they don't have the correct settings for the 4x4.by chance my dealer only charge £40 for this as they have been instructed to recoupe some money as they don't use it often!!thry called me to let me know all wheels are in the green so don't need any adjustments so they didn't charge me anything...bonus -

Skoda Owner 3 month update...
Dustybin1923 replied to TasMan's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
hi i also have a 2014 140 tdf estate...overall im very pleased with it..can i ask how much you paid for yours as i would be intrested to see what mine may be worth although mine has a few less miles on than yours. i have a couple of the issues you have,-the brakes are lacking in stopping power unless you stamp on them...and i also have an awful clunk from the drivers door if i hit a pothole... also you can program what doors open with the kessey system from the mfd on the dash....- 40 replies

Unreliable unlocking with KESSY
Dustybin1923 replied to 2SkodaFamily's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
yep had the same problem with an 18month old car,your supposed to get a message on the dash to let you know but i didnt.what is funny i started using the spare key and after a couple of succesfull lock/unlocks that started playing up aswell....i decided to change the batteries and 3 months in it hasnt failed a single time!!!! -
ok skoda have had my car for 2 days while they sort another problem,whilst in they have checked for any signs of a water leak and not found anything!! i find it hard to believe a car can all of a sudden decide to drink 1.5ltrs of water after two years and not have a problem.oh well at least i have 5yrs warrenty on it i guess i will be keeping an even closer eye on the coolant from now on!!!!

Friday morning the missus called me and said a "check coolant" warning light had come on the dash she restarted it and it disappeared.i just put it down to a sensor miss-read,however Saturday morning I thought i'd check under the bonnet and hey presto the expansion tank was empty!!!I had checked the levels around a fortnight earlier and all were ok...so I decided to top it up with water and it took 1.5litres so I drove the car a short distance to the skoda dealer and they were kind enough to get someone to check it out. they sent out a guy who had a quick peek under the bonnet and said there is no evidence of water leaking so it must have been an airlock...well the car is 2 years old granted it has only covered 13k from new so I don't think it was an airlock as it would have been noticed well before then.my concern is because I added 1.5l of water is my antifreeze going to be good enough for the winter ahead or shall I insist skoda change it and check more again for leaks....

Stop Start do you use it or switch it off
Dustybin1923 replied to JohnDSmith's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
the problem I have is it always seems to turn itself off a millisecond before the lights go green!!!!I think if it had an audible reminder maybe 3 beeps or something that would remind you as your taking your foot off the clutch the engine will turn off,so you would have those seconds to clock the lights situation.... -
