Supernovas

UPDATE: Car has been to the garage, they have replaced the crank sensor and asked me to see how it goes, I will keep you updated. Regards Tony

UPDATE: Car now started to switch itself off when driving and saying manually restart engine, bit scary to say the least. Now in with the garage for diagnosis and hopefully repair, fingers crossed.

Hi Binx, it's only about 3 years old, purchased from Tayna. I think the shudder is what's the causing the lights to appear.I will suggest to the garage when it goes in to check the battery. Thanks

Afternoon all, My 2016 Superb started a slight shudder when driving normally and has subsequently got worse. Now when it shudders various dash lights come on, systems say not functions, ACC, Park Assist, Tyre Pressure Warning etc and the car goes into limp mode. Had to pull over, with the car off and then back on to clear the issue. Was infrequent but became regular. Went to my local VAG specialist who checked the fault codes and said the code related to wires down the side of the engine may be causing a short, which he checked and confirmed was ok. Had a really noisy grumbling mass clutch flywheel, has done 128K, garage said could be the speed sensor on the clutch assembly causing issues, so suggested a new clutch pack. New clutch pack fitted this week, but fault remains. Sat idling this week, engine switched off, then back on, did this twice. Car shudder and lights on twice today, cleared by swiping off and on. Suspect a return visit to the garage, but think they may be struggling. Anyone experienced this before, any ideas or suggestions on what may be the cause would be welcomed. Many thanks in advance Tony

Thanks nicknorman, Had similar issue with the rear washer, when I stripped the jet down, both the tube and jet were blocked and needed flushing out. I will see if I can access the bottle and clean the pump and tube. Thanks for your help

Hi, Had my Samsung Galaxy s23 setup with android auto on my 2016 Superb, until recently it won't connect and I get a USB error message. The phone has had a couple of updates, so not sure if the is the cause. Tried new cable, selected transfer files and android auto setting on my phone and still get the USB Error message, any ideas what the issue could be r what to check next. Thank you in advance Tony

Hi, Noticed this week one of my screen jets was very weak on my 2016 Superb Saloon, so took it off and blasted it with air to clean. Then noticed both my screen wash jets are very poor. The water tank is full. Could it be pump blocked, feeder pipe blocked? Is it easy to access the water reservoir and pump and how do I access it? Thank in advance Tony

Hi all, The rear wiper on my Superb 2016 has suddenly stopped working. It stopped intermittently last week and after stopping the car, locking and unlocking, it briefly started to work. It has now stopped working completely. The washer motor works fine, the blade will not wipe/sweep. Could this be a fuse or is it likely to be the wiper motor? Is the motor a known part to fail and if so does anyone have the part number and best place to purchase one? Thanks in advance

Hi Varoom, I have the system information is this is what you mean. Device Part Number 5L0035200D Hardware H31 Software 0353 Media Codec 3101.0.0.9 Regards Tony

Hi, My father in law has a 2016 Yeti and today his NSF wing mirror glass fell out, hard to believe I know. I need to order a replacement, any suggestions where I can get one? he has heated mirror. How are they attached as I can see where any clips would go or any adhesive marks?? Many thanks Tony

Bit the bullet today, had my local VAG specialist replace my AGM battery and coded it in, all sorted. Thanks for all your support and feedback, much appreciated. Regards Tony

@varooom Tayna say £14 to return, nor brainer I am sending it back and getting the Varta AGM equivalent and then getting my VAG specialist to code it in. Many thanks for all your support and guidance it's much appreciated. Regards Tony

@varooom I will enquire about the return cost and if cheap enough purchase the correct battery and get a local specialist to code it in with VCDS. Are the last battery details I sent you correct?

@varooom Would this battery be more suitable? https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/bosch/s5a08/
