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

Try http://vehicleclips.co.uk, they seem to have everything

Max power from a 13A socket is 3kW so it can't have used more than 3kW x 5 hours = 15kWh so I'd suspect a problem with the electricity meter or, more likely, the app.

@JR RSThat's brilliant, thank you. I'm lucky the centre chrome strip survived, €107!

Hit a pheasant at 70mph causing one of the small lower grilles to eject 🤬 Any suggestions for its replacement? I see aftermarket ones for around £30 but are they any good?

Did you get round to cleaning up the blower? Corrosion in its connector could affect the LIN bus causing the Airconditioning DTC and the blower malfunctions.

This is the new "C2" version that are getting good reviews. Most of the P7s on sale are still the old version.

Try here 🙂

I do a journey regularly that, like your commute, is long and fast enough to trigger a regen but is too short for it to complete. When a regen is in progress the idle speed is raised, stop/start is disabled and DSG selects a lower gear. Watch out for this happening and extend your journey until things go back to normal, it probably won't take long. Otherwise the car will keep trying to regen on every suitable journey until it can complete. When it really needs to regen you will see the raised idle speed all the time, this is a sign that you need to do a long, fast drive.

It's laughable to suggest that "you may not even know the part has been stolen". No way would a thief replace an airbag with a dummy part or weld up an exhaust system after cutting the cat out. ETA: A really unscrupulous garage might I suppose...

I'm hoping to solve frequently slow start up, is there an update for this version please?

On the production lines I've visited, the entire dashboard including the HVAC, steering wheel and column is delivered and installed as a single module.

I guess it's falsely identifying something ahead of you as an obstruction in your lane. Were there overbridges at the junctions where it happened? I'd get it checked at the dealers but I bet they will want to charge you for re-calibration.

Ok, can you be more specific about the circumstances, particularly what vehicles in front of you are doing? I've worked on these systems so might be able to provide an explanation.
