My July 2017 Superb L&K 220 has 13748 miles on the clock. I don't get out much LOL.

Yes indeed. Strange but, maybe, true if the reports on this forum can be believed.

I had to have it reset by Skoda technicians. None of the manual reset procedures, some of which are outlined above, worked. Skoda had to go into the coding and reset something. In my case the problem was traced to being due to the charge of the batteries in the key fobs being low. Somehow the Kessy system had become confused and didn't know which key was being used. It set a flag in the system that prevented the seat memory and the mirror memory from working. Three new key fob batteries (one in each fob) and a bunch of technicians with a laptop got it fixed. Fortunately my car was still in warranty back then but I had to pay for the batteries. I replace all batteries every year now whether they need it or not. The end result was a working memory system but the click box option to disable the virtual pedal for the boot disappeared from the console. I'm not too bothered about the latter! Maybe the back and forth seat movement will work for you.

18" for winter on different rims. 19" for summer on the larger rims.

I seem to recall somebody having random issues like that before and it was traced to rodents having chewed through some cables. Apparently the cables are covered with something that mice are attracted to and this isn't just limited to VW group cars. Hopefully it is just a faulty infotainment module as re-wiring can get expensive.

I had this and if you search within the forum you will find my entry for it. Essentially the batteries had reduced in charge on all Kessy keyfobs and the system got confused as to which key was in use so set a flag within the controller which stopped the seats and mirrors moving. The dealer, after a lot of head scratching, worked this out. Take all three key fobs with you, get them to replace the batteries and then the dealer should be able to reset whatever flag was unset. This will bring the seat/mirror module back into use. I did find afterwards that the foot operated boot closing override has disappeared from the menu and may or may not be related. I never used that override so not too bothered. Of course the dealer may find it is something else but that is my experience.

I had this issue over 12months ago. I got the dealer look at it before the warranty expired. Just for reference my car has Kessy and three key fobs. The batteries hadn't been changed from new and were running low - there was an indication on the computer. This is what I was told by the dealer who interpreted the error codes: "At one point the car couldn't work out which key was in the car as the fob battery power was low and therefore didn't know which driver profile to apply. So it disabled the seat memories and the mirror settings." I personally don't know what the codes were and frankly don't care.The main thing was giving the car to the dealer with all three keys, they installed fresh batteries and then did some jiggery pokery with a programmer and all was good again. They had three technicians on it as even they had not seen it before. It cost me the price of three batteries to get it fixed. So I will now replace the key batteries every 18 months.

I had a reason to use the removable torch in mine the other day. I hadn't used it at all from day one of having the car but glad it was there. Surprised they removed it from yours as it must add pennies to the overall price of manufacture.

I've had my seat memory fixed by the dealer on warranty. It appears that what happened is this: I have Kessy with 3 keyfobs and over a period of time the batteries have been getting low. I am normally the driver of the car but my wife sometimes drives it with her own keyfob. Needless to say the seats, mirrors and many other settings like the radio are changed when she gets in. Just before lockdown we went on a trip to Joderell Bank and she drove. I got into the car with my own fob about a week later and noticed the seat did not move. Then I discovered pressing the preset buttons at the side of the seat also did not work. The seat itself could be moved with the other switches and the mirrors had to be adjusted manually with the switches. The garage reported what had happened was there were many error messages written into the log some of which were about various key fobs being low on battery. The system couldn't cope as it didn't know which driver was in the car and it set a flag in the control module which disabled the seat/mirror memory segment. So they put in some fresh batteries in all the fobs at the same time, reset the flag which reactivated the seat/mirror memories, went through a relearning procedure and everything is now working. Moral of the story is replace your batteries regularly.

I like the 220 lots but on the Pirelli tyres there can be a lot of lack of grip from a standing start. If I was to start over I would have ordered a 280 (they had em when I bought by 220) with 4 wheel drive.

Glasses too big? Seriously though I've not had an issue with it. Only thing was the glasses rattling about in the holder until I solved it by putting a small piece of bubblewrap into the tray.

I can't find my ODB11 at the moment. It is located in a safe place that I can't remember.

OK vehicle battery fully charged. Seat fully down, moved forward and then seat back moved forward. Held both switches (slide and tilt) until beep heard. This took about 20 seconds or so. Slid seat back and then adjusted seat and mirrors until correct. Pressed store and then pressed 1 ......Nothing. No chime or anything. No Joy 😞 Back to the drawing board.

Good point. I'll put the battery on charge.

OK I'll try it out - thanks
