I'd be fretting about my DMF with that big lump on the back
-
I'd stick to 2 wd , you're rarely if ever going to need 4wd on British roads. The 4wd is lower geared so revs are higher for a given speed and economy is worse.its also quite a bit slower than the 2wd so I got it remapped I couldn't get a definitive answer on when the haldex oil needed changing on my 2014 model either not even from dealer. So as it's just out of warranty at 70 k I'm starting to fret about it

Why make things difficult? (changing brake bulb)
terrytowelling replied to iomkeith's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I don't like the way they've designed the lights, I prefer the mondeo where the light stays on the car and you reach in from an inspection panel and unclip a peice which holds all the bulbs so you can examine them as they are still attached to the loom -

It's either been kerbed , or the tracking has been badly done. Take it to reputable tyre place

About 5 years is their lifespan . In the old days / pre ecu you could park on a slope and bump it until your battery was completely dead. Vag seem to fit boy's own batteries , my 2015 vw bus keeps going flat , I had to jump start it with my old hyundai whose battery is about twice the size of the vw. When my mondeo was playing up , the gauges would all read max including speedo abd rev counter, that was battery -

Superb Estate brake upgrade

I think the previous owner had over heated the brakes and given them a glaze so they were really ineffective. I'd change your pads all round first -
Pairing Blackberry phones

Do you have a pin to open your screen when you unlock it ? It's a few years since I had my beloved blackberry -
The regulation is highly known in the automobile industry due to the effect caused by the Block Exemption Regulation (BER) from the European Commission.[1][2] BER has changed the automobile industry in the last decade.[3] Prior to 2003 automobile owners in the EU region risk nullifying their vehicle warranty when the vehicles were serviced or repaired in workshops not belonging to the vehicle manufacturer or its dealers. This barrier was broken in October 2003, when the European Commission (EC) passed a law allowing vehicle owners the freedom of having their servicing and repairs done at their chosen workshop.[4]

If you've buggered the heads try using an electric screwdriver and use a flat head bit that's about the same size as the original torx hole . Jam the bit into the torx head . Press firmly and put the driver in reverse . this should force the bit to dig into the screw and unscrew it -

Mine were poor on my 4x4 as well, you couldn't do an emergency stop in it. I've had rear pads changed and the braking is a lot better -
