  1. I'm trying to clear my data from Skoda Connect. My account has been dormant for 2 years (I didn't think it was worth the money Skoda wanted for it after the first year), and I'm changing my car next month. All I've found so far is an option to delete my car from the account but nothing else. I would also like to know how to clear my details from my infotainment centre and satnav before I get rid of my Superb. Thanks in advance.
  2. I have a 2018 TDI DSG Superb, also fitted with hand controls, and what Penguin17 says is correct. The ACC is on a separate stalk, below the lights/indicator stalk, with nothing for the ACC on the MFSW. Like yourself I use the ACC a lot, it soon became second nature to adjust my speed by nudging the ACC stalk either up or down as required (once I'd stopped indicating and flashing my headlights because I got the wrong stalk! 😁)
  3. I use ACC (with a DSG) in rush hour traffic most days, it works a treat. On my UK registered MY2018 car the ACC can only be set up to 100mph/160kph, which is a bit of a nuisance on the German autobahn, where the Superb cruises nicely at 110mph.
  4. Mine slams the brakes on if I try to resume ACC too early when leaving a certain roundabout heading south on the A19 near the Tyne Tunnel. I'm assuming the radar is 'seeing' the crash barrier as I'm turning left. Just got to get used to waiting a few seconds extra before resuming the ACC.
  5. My Superb needed a new battery at 15 months old. It was fine until I left it parked up for 3 days and then I had to use the keyfob to open my car (I have KESSY) and it wouldn't start at all, just random messages on the dashboard that various systems were unavailable and that the battery needed charging. Rather unhelpfully it suggested I go for a drive to charge the battery up. I'm sure I've seen posts on here about batteries needing replacing quite early on Superbs before.
  6. Thanks, I'll try reinstalling the app. It's a real pain because I've grown to depend on the app to remember where I left my car (first world problem, I know!).
  7. The Skoda Connect app on my phone has been playing up all this week, basically it kicks me out and I have to sign in with a password and picture verification (which I don't remember setting up) at least once a day. Has anyone else been having any issues with Skoda Connect? I'm wondering whether it's a problem at Skoda's end or the settings on my phone.
  8. Mine does that if my phone isn't connected to the car via USB and Bluetooth is switched off on my phone. Skoda Connect has been a bit iffy lately, it's disconnected from my phone several times and was off for several hours this morning.
  9. I'm sure the standard of the road surface has more impact on the noise levels than the tyres do. My car is still on it's factory fitted P7's, road noise at 70mph on a British motorway is much worse than at 120mph on a German autobahn.
  10. For the last week or so the Skoda Connect app on my phone has shown a different coloured car with different wheels to mine. After seeing this thread I thought I'd check it again tonight and was horrified to see that, according to the app, my car was unlocked with the bonnet, boot and rear doors open. As I was returning to my car I was imagining all sorts of problems, only to find that my car was locked and still where I'd left it this morning. (The parking position part of the app has never been particularly accurate for me, despite being able to see my car on my drive at the moment the app tells me it is over the road and several houses down.)
  11. I'm often on that road, and as there are often 'safety' camera vans around I stick the ACC on at an indicated 70mph to save my driving licence and cash. I too have noticed the number of vehicles that hang back behind me. I'm also assuming that they're wondering if my Superb is an unmarked police car. I know Cleveland have a number of vRS Octavias and I have heard that they had a couple of Superbs. They do have a variety of other unmarked vehicles as well apparently.
  12. Mine seems to be taking ages to work lately. I was wondering if it needed an update? I also found my sat-nav was unable to find a destination today. I tried the name of the place, the full address and the postcode but there was nothing forthcoming from the sat-nav.
  13. What's the best range people are getting out of their Superbs? I started with a full tank of diesel this morning, I've done 101 miles and the trip computer tells me I have a range of 725 miles, so 826 miles on a tank full, which I don't think is too bad for a big car when I wasn't trying.
  14. I've mentioned elsewhere on here that my 150 TDI DSG hatch was averaging 57mpg when I got it in September and 52mpg over the winter. The fuel consumption has improved suddenly again over the last week or so. I'm now averaging 55mpg and a couple of runs have seen 60mpg on the maxidot trip computer. This is over a mix of dual carriageways/motorways and city driving (including hills, which really don't help if you look at the current fuel consumption on the maxidot) and without trying anything special to maximise the fuel consumption. I presume this is due to the slightly warmer weather and we must be back on summer mix diesel now?
  15. Mine didn't. I had it set to get the time from GPS, and thought this would automatically adjust the time to BST. I had to go into the time & date settings and check the tickbox for DST to make it change.
