Just a quick update, my local garage plugged their computer in and there was a Data Bus Error and a Rear Parking Sensor error (single sensor) which knowing computers has probably triggered the Bus Error. They have cleared the errors for the moment so that we can see what happens. So far it's working perfectly. Chances are if it is a sensor then I will just pay them to fix it rather than go through Skoda and get it fixed under warranty as they don't look that expensive online and given it is an hour each way to Skoda and the fact that would want it twice the costs soon add up.

Hi, thanks. It was delivered April 2016. Parking mode is turned off on the dashcam, it just activates for driving when the ignition is on. It is not everytime for the error but I would say about 80% of the time. Would my independent garage be able to see a fault log in the cars database.

Hi, I am frequently getting errors when starting relating to either blind spot detection error and not available, rear driver alert error and not available. park assist error and not available. These are then unticked in the car settings but will tick straight away and will work normally. I do have a dashcam fitted (Nextbase 522 if I recall), it was fitted by a garage I trust etc and is connected to the blind spot detection fuse. It has been fine for what must be 6 months and has now started happening. I have an L&K so the fusebox is pretty full so they did as a precaution put electrical tape around the fuse so that no rubbing could take place as the fuses are positioned in such a way that they are sat ontop of others. As I say a full fuse box and that was the only way for it to work. The dashcam likewise is working. Anyone any ideas, as I really don't fancy the Skoda route.... Thanks Paul

Have had a look this lunchtime and if I am reading it correctly they have used position 39 which is Central locking - passenger door and right rear door, rear view mirror.

Hi I recently had a DashCam fitted (Nextbase 522 plus rear) and got my local independent to fit it when they did the service. Not sure what fuse number they have used but.I have noticed that the coming home feature on the lights does not work as it did and if you alter the settings on them it messes with the dashcam. I.e. lengthen the time and the cam no longer functions in GSensor mode, revert the changes and it does etc. From digging around the forum I notice fuse number 48 being the one recommended which if I am reading right is for the blind spot detection. Could that be confirmed. I have the TSI220 L&K. Not over comfy touching this stuff so will probably take it back to them to resolve which they will do no worries but thought if I get the right info first it might help. Is it simple to alter from where they have put it? Thanks Paul

Hi This may sound like a silly question but alerted to the window as a car alarm was going off (not mine it was established) I noticed as it was dark the red light on the drivers door is flashing red every couple of seconds (2/3 seconds). I do not recall having seen this in the 3 or so years I have had the car but I could very easily be wrong. Reading the book the only mention of it is if it flashes on for 30 seconds to begin with then there is a problem with the central locking. Well this 30 seconds does not happen. You click to lock the car and it flashes along with the exterior lights to indicate locking and then goes into its routine. Unlocking the car by remote is fine close to and from a distance, all doors and exterior openings open fine and there are no errors on the infotainment system that I can see to alert me to anything. Any ideas, the car is a 16 (April 2016 to be exact). Thanks Paul

Thanks all. So looks like a good case for front and back. What do you recommend for the back, and where does it get the power. Would prefer hardwired.

Hi All After a bit of advice. Just had a Kodiaq for 24 hours whilst my Superb was in having the ignition button replaced and it had a dashcam in, apparently my dealer installs them as standard now in their cars. It is something that I have been considering for a while and had a look at it whilst I had the car, the dealer had a leaflet in offering NextBase cameras. Having looked at them the Nextbase 512 looks good, and they are offering it for £185 inc fitting and VAT which is a about £40 more than Halfords assuming the dealer will be hard-wiring it in rather than using the lighter socket. I will need to ring and ask. The question that is in my mind at the moment is whether I should just have a camera at the front or have one at the rear also. I am aware that NextBase offer a rear camera that links to the 512 but it apparently is not that good, so am hesitant given the cost of having two full blown cameras. How much benefit is there to having one front and rear? Either way, any thoughts or feelings are gratefully appreciated. Thanks Paul

Pleased someone else mentioned this, thought it was me being an idiot. Works most of the time but sometimes takes several pushes. Just rung dealer and booked it in for a diagnostic session. They require two hours for a diagnostic session.....

Interesting timing, I was about to post to ask a similar question about: http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/SUPERB-II/Superb-III-MEGA-POWER-LED-cargo-trunk-light-KI-R http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/SUPERB-III/Superb-III-MEGA-POWER-LED-door-safety-lights-WHITE-WHITE-KI-R Thinking about upgrading the lights to something a little brighter and clearer.

Yes, apologies. I think the last station I saw 99 at was just on the outskirts of Glasgow. Up in the highlands it was 95 mainly with a few places having 97.

Have the 220TSI and see very good economy. Have just come back from Scotland and drove using 97RON, normally run on 99RON but that is absent in Scotland. The drive home was a fill up in Ullapool and then drive down through Fort William to Glasgow (overnight stop) and then onto Lincoln the next day. Quick Google Maps shows this as 499 Miles and the trip was showing just over 100 Miles more to go and that was with four adults, full boot and full large roof box so very well laden down. Normal everyday driving (speed limit throughout). In total did 2200 miles from home to home and it cost 18p per mile and that includes a good number of miles on Scotlands single lane roads that are up, down, left, right, blind summits all within a few meters. Ok, not that bad but you get the idea. Even on those it was hitting over 20Mpg. Also that was a car that was a few hundred miles past its service point. I was getting a little fed up of the "SERVICE NOW!" messages appearing at every turn on and turn off...

Whats your current mileage on the car, mine changed dramatically at around 2500 miles. To begin with it was not great and all I seemed to be doing was putting fuel in the car.

I travel 10 miles to and from work on Lincolnshire "B" roads and then into a town and average 36mpg - essentially get around 550 miles to a tank without much effort and without driving like a saint. Other journeys it heads well over 40mpg with no problems. Have no complaints at all for fuel economy.

Just hit 25000 miles in my L&K 220Tsi and to be honest I would struggle not to go back to Skoda. Thankfully mine is not leased, living inheritance, so have a few more years left yet (5yr warranty and 5yr gap insurance). I do like the look of the Volvo's however. A friend at my camera club has just brought a 17 plate Mercedes C220 which whilst he got a great deal he said but won't actually disclose the price, I found travelling in the car the other day to be "ok and unimpressive". The inside had less leg room in the front, was visibly cheaper looking inside and the plastic was so obviously plastic. The car was on 17 inch wheels and was not as comfy and smooth as mine on the road. Really could not see why it was worth spending all the money for a Mercedes when the Superb outshines it, in my view. Even he was amazed the first time he travelled in the mine how smooth and comfy it felt on the road, to be honest even more so now I have moved away from the Pirelli P7's to Good Year.

yes 2.0L 220TSI

Hi, yes it was the P7's. Fuel consumption is an unknown they have only been on a week and part way through a tank of fuel, and to be honest I am enjoying the fact that it sticks to the road and when you put your foot down it grips and goes. The car litteraly goes exactly where you tell it, when you tell it and never feels light if you know what I mean. It is more comfy and I would say that driving at 70 is the same road noise as 50 on the P7's. Having done a couple of starts at junctions that the P7's would make the car feel light, these don't. Currently sat on 450 mile roughly on this tank and there is 150 mile left according to the onboard system and looking at the guage it is not far our.

Have had Goodyear Asymetric 3's installed on mine and the difference is night and day. (235/45/18)

Not had it done yet, but has been impossible to source one outside of the dealer. So the company that broke it is paying for the dealer to order one in and fit it.

I did not crack it, car just been in for a full ptotection detail inside and out. The company doing it caused it (and resolving, just helping source) have phoned dealer and it is £100 basically for a replacement. The glass cannot be done on it's own.

Yes it has a 5 year warranty on it. I was assuming that the mirror glass would not be covered under warranty. So far not been able to find any parts online, not even a total replacement so I think it will have to be a dealer part.

Hi Can anyone help, the mirror in the sun visor is all cracked and needs to be replaced. Anyone any idea if just the glass can be changed or is it the whole thing? I have had a google and stuggling at the moment to find either? Thanks Paul

Ok,understand. Chances are yes I have done that occasionally in the past, rounded up to the next pound so to speak but not normally. This afternoonncomihg home from work, nothing to smell but going to work this morning had the smell when I parked up. fuel is 2/3rds full. Normal smell under the bonnet.

It's Tesco 99 which it has been nearly since new. Sorry don't understand the "vent the tank" query?

Hi No it's not been serviced recently am about half way through the 10k since the last service back in December. Not looked in engine bay, will do next time but what am I looking for? can only smell it outside on the warmer days. Did a couple of 150 mile trips at the weekend when it was colder and never smelt anything. Thanks Paul
