  1. Hi everyone - have recently acquired a 2012 skoda VRS blackline - there is not indication that the cam belt/waterpump has been replaced - the car has done 53000 miles - anybody tell me when the cambelt should have been replaced.
  2. Anyone living near Manchester who has VCDS to change my maxi dot on octavia to Australian version for MPH read out ? Thanks in anticipation
  3. Here i am again - i have removed the rear light cover from my superb hatch in an effort to identify the reversing light wiring but it seems there are only 3 wires going into the light assembly - anybody got any ideas as to how to find the reversing light wire ??? thanks
  4. Yes that seems to be the way to go - just trying to save a few pennies - thanks for the reply
  5. I am installing a reversing camera to my Skoda Superb mk111 L and K - not the factory one but one i've bought from amazon - one of the wires from the camera has to be linked to the reversing light - i have taken the rear light cover off but it seems difficult to access any wiring never mind the one for reversing !! Anybody any suggestions Thanks in anticipation.
  6. I have a 190 4x4 and drive mostly in economy mode and most times i struggle to get 40mpg and i do have a light foot.
  7. The car battery was flat because I left the dashcam connected whilst on holiday forgetting the 12 volt charging point was permanently live - I had only had the car a week so lesson learnt the hard way
  8. I have a superb 111 with Kessy - I decided to try out the emergency unlocking - having read up from the user manual I removed the small cover from the drivers door handle - inserted my emergency key with the handle pointing down as per instructions and nothing happened - I tried it with the handle facing up and it worked - useful if you have a flat battery as i did - note you must have your key fob present when unlocking !!!!!
  9. I have a Superb 111 hatchback and i want to fit a number plate reversing camera - in order to do this i need to drill a hole for the wires behind the number plate - can anyone tell me how to remove the trim on the hatch in order to do this ? thanks in anticipation.
  10. Put speed cameras on the columbus system on my 190 4x4 as per above instructions - took 3 goes and a change of SD card but got there in the end and works brilliantly - just wondering if when pocket gps updates the cameras do we have to go through the same process again to update ours ??
  11. Very good question - I don't know what it is and would be very interested to find out ?????
  12. Thanks for all the replies - I have now established that it was the light reflecting from the car showroom - it just shows that everything isn't always what it seems !!!!!!
  13. attached is a picture of my superb L and K 4 x 4 sent to me by the dealer before I bought it - if you notice one of the headlights is lit but on the right hand side of the headlamp unit - I have tried to replicate this on the car and my headlamp unit shows the lights on dip and main beam on the left hand side - my question is what is on the right hand side of the unit and why cant i replicate the photo - i am probably being extremely thick but i would appreciate any explanation - thanks in anticipation.
  14. I switched personalization off and on again and the memory seat worked fine
  15. Anybody familiar with VCDS and lives near Bury in Lancashire - i have a skoda superb 4 x 4 190 L and K and could do with a couple of tweaks but as I am "not technical" I wouldn't like to try it myself. Thanks
  16. Rob - Skoda Superb 111 September 16 190 bhp dsg 4 x 4 petrol blue no reversing camera unfortunately because i tow a caravan but loads of other extras best one being ACC - quoted nearly £800 to fit reverse camera - no thanks - only got smallish caravan but dont realize ive got it on the back sometimes - overall very pleased with car
  17. Hi - I have just acquired my first Skoda after months of searching - it is a Skoda Superb 2.0.TDI 190 4 x 4 automatic in petrol blue - I tow a small caravan so the car is perfectly suited - the technology in this car is amazing compared to my last car - a 2004 freelander - I had never heard of Adblue until the sales guy told me about it - the chassis control along with the DSG gearbox takes a bit of getting used to - also the stop start and automatic parking brake but I'm sure it will all come together in time. The space in the rear is unbelievable and touches like the torch and umbrellas and especially the right angled Velcro gizmos to hold anything in place in the boot are brilliant. the lane departure system is good but at first I thought my steering was defective as it kept pulling me from one side to the other on the motorway. I have not tried the parking pilot yet.!! My biggest stumbling block is finding out which apps on my phone will connect with the Columbus infortainment system but again this will come in time. Overall very pleased with the car although I do regret not having a rear view camera fitted to ease the hitching up process with my caravan. Oh well - cant have everything but here's to many happy days of Superb motoring.
