  1. Sounds like a steering angle sensor but similar happens with the ABS/Wheel speed sensors. Either way, doing the scan is the right way to sort it and you'll get the answer pretty quickly.
  2. I had a rear wheel speed sensor go faulty and that caused all of the above, including the park assist failing.
  3. My 2014 stop-start car came from the factory with an EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery). my original EFB was a Banner. It went faulty before the car was a year old and the dealer replaced it with a Varta EFB.
  4. I prefer to leave that information out when I'm asked if my E-220 goes further than my Superb 1.6d did .... I dont like to ruin my friends good impression with facts. 😏
  5. "90 Celsius - it takes far longer than coolant " - that's normal behaviour. "On motorway travel it can actually hit 99 degrees, whereas on city drive it can go down to even 86 when not at speed." - that's normal behaviour as well. When the oil is older you will find it will go over 100 quite often. The superb diesels are slow to heat up their oil. In winter, mine would often take 20 mins/30 kilometres at least before the oil caught up to the coolant - summer would obviously be quicker. (Note: I'm assuming you have a diesel...?)
  6. Ditto - just what happened to mine when a rear wheel speed senor crapped out. A code read should see the fault right away.
  7. I had an S7 connected my Superb. The cars system made an audible sound when the phone connected to it. The S7 did not.
  8. I'd be sure you have a common rail CR 170 in that 2015 (congrats on the car - the estate version of the superb 2 is excellent. I'm sure you'll love it when you have this problem sorted).
  9. Yes to the first question (note it changes from county to country - 120K km's seems low but i don't know where you are) Yes to the second question - many of the kits include the timing belt, water pump and tensioners and this is what a Skoda dealer here (Ireland) would change out when the job was due. Yes to the third question - this is an "interference engine" and if the timing is out then you can wreck your engine. You absolutely must get the timing right.
  10. Open your drivers door and look on the B Pillar. There should be a sticker there that will have some car details (weights i think) and a 4 letter code. The 4 letters are the engine code. I think the codes for the 140hp diesels were CFHC, CBEA, CBAB, CFFB, CBDB or similiar.
  11. Agree. Had my car done at at Al Hayes in Ennis - Water Pump, belt, tensioners and coolant for €450.
  12. Yes - that type works for start/stop too. The EFB (enhanced flooded battery) is what Skoda fitted at production time on start/stop S2 cars.
  13. +1, especially as the OP has an estate. If I was asked to name a drawback of my S2 estate I really have only one complaint. And that is the S2 estates propensity to chew rear tyres if the geometry or the pressures are in any way off recommendations when carrying a load. I'd be very careful with a non-OEM rear positioning unless and until someone else could prove it was OK....
