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.

Multiple Amber lights on dash all at once
TheRobinK replied to Dorgaro's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I had a rear wheel speed sensor go faulty and that caused all of the above, including the park assist failing. -
AGM Battery or Not? 2011 Superb 2.0 CR 170
TheRobinK replied to Alan16ac's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
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. -
Low down on the low down..
TheRobinK replied to lichfielddriver's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
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. 😏 -
"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...?)

ABS and Traction Control warning lights appeared
TheRobinK replied to Salad_Fingers's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Ditto - just what happened to mine when a rear wheel speed senor crapped out. A code read should see the fault right away. -
I had an S7 connected my Superb. The cars system made an audible sound when the phone connected to it. The S7 did not.
-
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).

Difficult to replace water pump on 2011 Superb?
TheRobinK replied to AussieAnth's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
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. -
Absolutely. Good Info.

Oil sensor and no reverse lights or pdc?
TheRobinK replied to Telfordskoda15's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
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. -
Agree. Had my car done at at Al Hayes in Ennis - Water Pump, belt, tensioners and coolant for €450.
-
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.

Wheels for Superb Elegance
TheRobinK replied to SliverSuperb's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
+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.... -
I'd agree with chimaera - I have a 2014 1.6d facelift, Elegance spec with the 6 speed gearbox. Apart from the step up in "premium feel", I found the 6 speed gearbox a much improved experience to the 5 (I test drove a 6 month older car with a 5 speed and comparable miles - 5000 on one, 6200 on the other). I also don't feel it has fallen behind much at all - thanks to the level of spec they put on the car as standard.

2012 Superb Injector Issue after Rain
TheRobinK replied to skodaAH2019's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Think we need some more information - which model year?Petrol? Diesel? Which engine..? -
Just wondering - what are the details you would have liked it to have? EDIT: Never mind - I see from your other posts what you meant and the features that are on the S2 versus the later Kodiaq.
-
I think that makes sense - some 1.4TSi's do have cambelts but I have read that this only applies to the 1.4 TSi with ACT (cylinder shut off). That wasn't an option for the S II.
-
That great feeling when...
TheRobinK replied to Steviedakota's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
That's a smooth 1.4 Tsi engine owning experience. Us diesel owners never would have heard that! -
Were these replacement HID bulbs installed in a factory bi-xenon headlamp?
-
You're right on that - it would have the new style emblems and badges. I think @lichfielddriver has a "new" (to him) pre-facelft Superb - not the one in his signature lines.

Thermostat part number please
TheRobinK replied to 20vKarlos's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I'd say that @DEL80Y is asking as DSG cars have two thermostats and its often the second DSG one (oil cooler thermostat) that is the cause of the issue. Many garages/dealers don't seem to know it is there. "This inline thermostat to the DSG cooler can stick open and cause the coolant temperature gauge to fluctuate and the coolant struggle to get up to temperature" -
Not too surprised by that - an opportunity to wriggle out of cost and hope you will wander off is their usual game plan. If you're under warranty then just go to any dealer and tell them "Problem - look at this - warranty claim - sort it out please!" . Not buying the car from one of their dealers is a bull**** excuse and not valid on a car that's is its warranty period. fight the buggers. Its an excuse that only can work if the car is out of warranty and you are looking for some goodwill to reduce the cost of repair/replacement.
