  2. Happy Easter guys! Yesterday I had a fault on a dashboard. Checking the manual it says it's control system for exhaust. We are away at my parent's house and I'm not sure will I be able to go back home. 200km trip. Is it egr valve, or something else. My vcds is back home so I can't check it myself. Should I stay here until Tuesday and go to a local garage since monday is a holiday, or it's safe to go home. It's a 2010 3.6 fsi with 170000km on the clock.
  3. Well, the issue was sorted a couple of days after starting this topic. Got all 4 new winter tyres. I just didn't want to experiment. BR, Cale
  4. That is the case with most of "medium class"cars today. Assuming they have Asb/Esp sensors fitted front only.
  5. Had a long conversation today with a authorised service. It got them puzzled and they had to do some brainstorming, manuals readindg etc. They only had one case simmilar to mine, 2 years ago, when a guy came with Q7, huge tyres in the back. He drove 300km at highway speeds and nothing happened. After they changed his tyres all errors from the dash went off. According to them, NO warning lights from ABS, ESP and TPMS were lit because i only drove 1km from shop to home, so the time was too short, and the speed was so low that the sensors didn't have sufficient data to figure that something was wrong. They also said that if would go for a ride ie. longer than 1hr, more than 50km, with speed exceeding 80/90kmh it would definitely cause errors on ABS, ESP and TPMS. Not so much on the drivetrain, Haldex and other mechanical components, at least that's what they THINK. So they are not sure. They strongly adviced me to change it ASAP, and NOT to drive long trips mentioned above to prevent any possible mechanical/electrical damage to the car. So i went and ordered another set of new winter tyres to be mounted on monday. A company car will do next couple of days. So how does BMW ships their X5 with different wheels/tyres size combo front/rear?
  6. That's what i was afrraid of. I'm still waiting for an odficial response from skoda, but thinking i will have to get a set of propper tyres and loose trese.
  7. Well, to tell the truth, i assume it's working fine. However to my knowledge you can only test the proper function of haldex coupling and 4x4 system on a slippery surface with your foot on the throttle. That is how is tested after haldex oil and filter change. This would of course induce stress to the drivetrain and that's what i'm trying to avoid until i know is it safe or not. I think the car itself cannot know that the wheels on the front and rear axle are not same size, so only thing that comes to me are the ABS sensors that might read the actual turning speed of wheels, and to missinterpret it as a wheel slip and to send more power to the rear trying to mend it...So the car would constantly be trying to fix "errors" received from sensors and that could cause damage?? I think. So the actual circumference & difference is not that importanat as the damage that can be caused by it. I just wanted someone experienced who knows what i'm talking about to say, "yes it's safe, just drive" or "OMG, don't do that you'll ruin it".
  8. So beeing a newbie here, and not founding the info i need here's my problem and hope for your help guys. I have mk2 superb combi from 2010, that i bought used this summer. It's a 3,6fsi 4x4 with 4th gen haldex. Btw what a great car. The car came with a set of 2 extra winter tyres. A few days back went and took 2 brand new winter tyres in the original dimension 225/40 R18 Gor them fitted today, and everything OK, came back home, parked, and...WTF noticed that rear look a bit larger. And yes the difference is obvious. So the fronts are 225/40 R18, and in rear 225/45 R18 . Using a calculator it's 3.3% difference (22mm) And the idiot (like me) installing them didn't said a word, or warn me about it. So i'm worried about a possibe damage to the haldex system, diffs, couplings, etc. I know it's mainly FWD and haldex system only activates when it should, but i stil think it's a NO-GO. And the rear ones are in good state, used only one season, one year old with a lot of meat, so i would loose a lot. So im in a doubt of getting rid of them, and buying 2 more, or keeping them just this season. Yes i know, really stupid of me, i had to look before and eveything, but S..T happens. I really belived the winters ones were the same. They came in those white plastic bags, and when i was looking i went for DOT mainly. I did see 225/4... but just didn't go all the way to make sure. I'll be talking to the service tommorow, as they are all closed now but would also like to hear from you guys. I know, crazy story Cheers, Cale
  9. thanks Jed, hope to find some good advices here. This is my 1st Skoda and so far i'm really satisfied.
  10. Hello there guys and girls. I've found this by accident and i like it. Cheers from Croatia.
