  1. As chimaera says, LED for DRLs only.
  2. As above. I put these in mine https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/252660660649?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 no dramas whatsoever.
  3. I thought you could enter the circumference of the tyre and the make the changes for the speedo accordingly. I'll have a look again because i have no idea of how to do it without hooking up the hex-net.
  4. Just a heads up...this can be corrected if you have access to VCDS
  5. Mate, don't like your chances for a VCDS out there, but you never know, someone in Canbrurrr (as Schtum mentioned) may be able to help. As above, disconnect battery and go for a reset to start with. How is the battery health also? Good luck
  6. Not sure if it has to be coded in, but mine does it. You can also just turn the mirror adjustment knob all the way left to retract mirrors.
  7. Can't help with the issue but mine does take a bit of time to kick in also???
  8. It could be the struts but it could be the control module for the struts. There isn't any way to test the BCM apparently. I've been down this path before, with much grief... If you're changing to gas, no dramas, but if you're going to replace the electrics, i'd suggest doing the BCM first and or as well. I know Skoda has done them on MkIII's out here under warranty and they replace the struts and BCM. The BCM cost around $400 ozzie pesos from memory, the struts around $1000 each. We replaced the struts with no luck and then did the control module. Recode and success! Yeah, go with the gas.
  9. The main battery. Don't know of reserve battery.
  10. Ha! Mine was doing this last week at 2am! After realising i wasn't being burgled, went back to bed. After the 3rd 'wake up' call, i checked the battery. Way down to between 6 and 7 volts. Normally kept on trickle charger but had it on the other car and forgot to reconnect. Hook him back up to the juice and all good! As chimera says, scan if you can. I had to turn the internal sensors off in my 508GT but it was just a button on the console.
  11. My 508GT has a 'sealed for life' 6 speed Aisin in it. I had it serviced at 8 years/130k. it wasn't playing up or anything, maybe a little 'notchy' on startup selecting reverse. What came out wasn't pretty and the improvement after the service was well worth the effort. This will be a regular service from now on. Having said all that, the 6 speed DSG in my Superb is a lot better box!
  12. If someone knows how to test the control module for the struts, i think that could save a lot of grief. I'm not that skilled with VCDS but when i had strut issues about 2 years ago, i couldn't work it out. Skoda Aus couldn't work it out either. At first, i got some 2nd hand struts from Germany. 4 struts for 300 Euro. If they didn't work, so be it. Tried all four, no cigar. Parts were returned for full refund so all good. Got 2 new struts, replaced. Still no cigar. My Euro mechanic had no joy coding and 2 Skoda dealers couldn't help either. One dealer wanted the car for a further 8 hours...to investigate. No guarantees Spoke to an owner of a new MY16 who said that Skoda had just replaced struts and bcm under warranty. Bit the bullet and sourced a new bcm. Cost around $400 Au. That's about a fifth of the cost of the struts here. A pain to replace as you have to pull half the back of the car apart but success! Whether the struts fail and then cause the bcm to fail, if it's just the struts failing or just the bcm, i don't know. Yet, if i have to throw a hail mary at it, i'd rather throw a $400 one than a $2000 one!
  13. You could try to reset it and If you have access to VCDS, check Address 6D: Trunk Elect. and see if it shows a fault to start with. Mine started to play up intermittently until they just stopped. Initially it didn't show any fault with my VCDS or at Skoda. When it did, i replaced the servos, as advised by Skoda, but they still didn't work so we did the control module as well and that solved the issue. From memory, they're on their tenth revision for the servos and the control module and AFAIK, Skoda have been replacing servos and control modules on MkIII Superb out here under warranty. In hindsight, if you can get the control module assessed first, that would be the go. Skoda says they can't do it. You have to pull half of the back of the car apart to get to it but i would replace that first and see if that fixes the issue. $400-$500 Oz pesos for the control module as opposed to around $2000+ Ozzie pesos for the electro struts! Or just change to gas struts!
