Like my car, this thread has gone way further than I expected 🤣 Can anyone provide any concrete examples of injection system damage due to running out of diesel?

Had to make an unplanned journey yesterday starting with a nearly empty tank. Result was driving about 6 miles with zero range and a 66.5 litre fill up. What's the furthest anyone's driven once the predicted range has dropped to zero?

No need, the regen will automatically resume on your next journey.

Boost pipe leak perhaps.

And drivers relying on auto lights on foggy but bright days!

I'd hazard a guess that most of these accidents aren't really caused by dazzling modern headlights but by drivers who plough on regardless when they can't see where they're going, with perhaps a smattering of dirty or misted up windscreens, worn out wiperblades and poorly corrected vision thrown in.

Retracting the EPB actuator with the diagnostic tool doesn't retract the piston, you still have to push it back. You must push the piston, not wind it, or you'll damage the actuator. All Superb Mk3s have TRW front brakes and ATE rears.

Could be your adblue tank has frozen and should sort itself out when it warms up.

No, I'm living with it, I do have DSG. The problem doesn't happen if I let the engine idle for a few moments before I pull away.

I get something similar on a cold start; if I pull away then lift off the accelerator while still moving only slowly, for example to make a tight turn leaving a parking space, then the engine will occasionally stall. It only happens when I drive away immediately after starting the engine, nothing to do with the brakes.

Check the discs for corrosion on the braking surfaces.

@JR RS Thank you, it's helpful to see what's behind there. I can see that my undertray is intact, perhaps the wheel arch liner has hidden damage then. I think the foglight is partially detached from the bumper skin too.

What gives the lower front of the bumper its strength? I've hit a pheasant at high speed near one foglight and, although there's no visible damage, that side is now very floppy compared to the other. I suspect there's some internal reinforcement broken but can't identify the part(s).

I wonder which limit TSR would choose here A435 Gorcott Hill
