  1. @Jim Reire I've replaced the brake fluid few weeks ago. You don't need to remove this strainer. On the contrary, the maintenance manual (downloaded from cardiagn.com) recommends to leave it the fluid tank. I personnally leftit in the tank and no problem with it. I've used a brake fluid bleeder kit like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hand-Brake-Fluid-Bleeder-Bleeding/dp/B076WZ8D6L/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=brake+fluid+bleeder+kit&qid=1599954258&sr=8-9 No issue. I've already released a tutorial on a french forum. I just need to translate it, if needed.
  2. @D402 Good tips have to be shared !
  3. Costs breaking I guess...
  4. Are really sure for rear fog lights? H8 may be really too powerful. I would more bet on P21W or PY21W...
  5. Note, in this wokshop manual dedicated to brakes (unless this is in the maintenance chapter, I have a slight doubt), you will also find the spec for discs and pads minimum thickness. Very useful for a quick check!
  6. @newbie69 My mistake... You're right. I may have lost something in the translation...
  7. You may find your question in the workshop manuals, that you can download from cardiagn.com. There's a whole workshop manual for brakes.
  8. Actually, it depends on what you want. I know 3 Apps. - Skoda Connect: Which give you a status on the vehicle at any time whatever the distance. It can also be linked to your agenda to organize your daily trip (or longer ones). - Skoda Service: to schedule appointment for services (e.g.: MOT) or to get online quotations. - MySkoda: Includes apparently the same functions as 'Skoda Service' and contains also indications from user's manual (such as warning lamps explanation), a parkinng assistant (to remind you where you've parked or time left on the park meter...). This App can also be linked to 'Skoda Connect'. Quite complete App indeed. There probably others Apps...
  9. Sorry, silly question from me, since we're talking about retrofitting...
  10. Do you think, it is possible to activate this animation on Superb Mk 3.0 ?
  11. @Warrior193 I write "wooden spatula" and you read "kitchen spatula"... funny! I also have a wooden spatula such as an ice scrapper to defrost my windshield in winter. Better, I don't catch SWMBO using it for cooking!
  12. A bit expensive, but the official Ross-tech VCDS version is reliable and it includes ross-tech assistance and an important forum + unlimited free SW updates. I'm fully satisfied with it.
  13. Same values found in Skoda Maintenance manual on cardiagn.com.
  14. Today I've replaced the park tickets retainer on the windscreen. Indeed, it had been broken (and glued to hide the mistake 🤬) upon windscreen replacement several months ago. A good opportunity to write a "How to..." thread to explain the way to: - remove the A-pillar trim panel - replace the park tickets retainer.
  15. Hi all, I had my windscreen replaced some months ago by my local dealer. Everything went well, except... I didn't noticed they had broken (and glued to hide their mistake 🤬) the retainer for park tickets! Since, I was not able to prove this several months later, I've bought a new one to replace it on my own. A good opportunity to make a tutorial. P/N : 3V0 867 333 - 0.72€ First of all, wash your hands before starting to avoid dirty finger prints on the trim panel, especially if you have light grey or 'ivory' interior, To remove the A-pillar trim panel, use a large and flat lever (a wooden spatula should be ok too ). Insert it on the upper part between the door seal and the trim panel, so that you can push approximately the center part of the panel on the rear side to unclip it: Then repeat this at middle height of the trim panel to keep on uncliping the trim panel. In red circles below, the 2 clips once the trim panel is uncliped. Now, you just need to pull the trim panel upward to remove it completely. Once this is done, if you have a sun roof, start uncliping the water drain hose of the sunroof (red circle), to get a better access to the spreader rivet which fixes the park tickets retainer (both in blue rectangle): Then you just need to pull the spreader rivet head (if necessary, use a small fork ;)): Now put the brand new park tickets retainer in place and press the spreader rivet head to fix the retainer. You can now start reinstalling the A-pillar trim panel. Be sure to engage correctly the lower outer corner in the door seal and the lower inner edge in the dashboard: Then get out of the car and stand along the A-pillar and adjust the trim panel height, looking thru the windscreen: Check the lower clip is in front of the slot in the A-pillar. Do the same for the upper clip Then just press firmly the trim panel, starting with the lower clip. If necessary, don't hesitate: A firm hit with your closed fist 😁! Press the trim panel at the upper side to completely clip it. You may then have to make some slight adjustments to get a nice positionning (no bump, no dent under your fingers, when sliding your hand along the trim panel). Done! 😎
  16. Maybe the technician has flashed the control unit to reinstall the right SW version...
  17. @standy If your have ACC, the TJA is already enabled and activated, as soon as both ACC and Line Assist are activated. It's not uniquely linked to the camera. No idea about the eyelashes... Sorry.
  18. Woow ! 😮 I'm really impressed that someone is interested in knowing the fuel gauge calibration accuracy to that point! On my side, I've activated the "Refuel quantity on the Maxidot" but it's just for fun... Actually, I don't really pay attention to the fuel gauge. The remaining autonomy is a much more relevant information for me. It talks much better to my brain than how many liters I've burnt. Additionally since the fuel autonomy is regularly refreshed depending on the way I've driven for the last kilomters, it talks even better to me. 😄 I only know the tank volume to assess how much I will approximately fill in next time and that's it 🙂!
  19. After a 2-day test, this setting is a bit extreme, my S&S was almost full time disabled. Then I test 9.0V for 2 days again, but it was still too high. I'm currently using a 8,5V setting for about 1 month. The S&S is way less "pervasive". I've almost reached a S&S behavior that suits me. I'm going to grope again around this 8.5V value (may be 8.6V) to get something better.
  20. @nofear26 It looks like your dealer isn't fair. I've done the oil (incl. oil filter) change myself few weeks ago. 4.5l were enough for my 2.0TDI190. If you want the exact value from the workshop manual, you can download all of them from cardiagn.com .
  21. It reminds me a Top Gear road trip in Alabama: 😂
  22. The drive mode actually modifies the DSG mapping, that's true. But the DSG6 mapping in Normal mode has been slightly tuned to comply with Euro6 norm. But the result is not very satisfying in real life. According to the Sales manager of my local dealer, this has been slightly improved when DSG7 replaced DSG6.
