KESSY Start Stop Button replacement
cjrp replied to TasMan's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to @TasMan for the detailed guide. I'm not very mechanically-minded, but the whole thing took me about 10 mins on my Karoq and saved £87 labour - nice one! -
They arrived yesterday (great service from Mike @ Listers), and I swapped them over today. Already they feel better (no wheelspin, although it’s not been wet today), ride is slightly better and the noise is definitely reduced.
-
Ah, I should have checked; mine has the pressures for 19/18/17/16 on it. Easy!
-
The benefit of being an over-excited car geek I suppose Who knows, maybe Michelin will bring out the CrossClimates for the bigger wheels; there's got to be a lot of Range Rovers, F-Paces, etc. out there who would rather be running all season tyres.
-
I have the same problem, these cold mornings where it’s close to zero or damp I seem to wheel spin out of most junctions! I’ve got the 19” wheels with Pirellis, but am in the process of swapping to 17” CrossClimate+ (see the Winter Tyres thread). It’s my first DSG, so maybe just takes getting used to - but I can’t think of a single time that I spun the wheels on my torquier (manual) Civic.
-
Those of you that changed wheel size as well as tyres, do you still use the pressures listed in the fuel cap?
-
Not received mine yet, but having driven this morning at 1ºC and wheel-spun on almost every junction I'm glad I made the decision to buy
-
Ordered the set from Listers as recommended, just waiting for them to be delivered from the warehouse. Also ordered a set of wheel bags from Superskoda, not realising they probably won't fit my 19" wheels (description says up to 18")
-
Thanks for the update! Did you order them with the CrossClimates fitted or just the wheels?
-
@Marchinus did you get a chance to try out the new wheels?
-
Thanks for the info, out of interest which size wheels did you have originally? Any other advantages/disadvantages you noticed after changing? Cool, so I'd still need to check the offset, etc.?
-
They’d be 215/60, I hadn’t actually considered whether the suspension, etc. could cope with that change from the wider 19”s?
-
Thinking of buying a set of 16" Castors to put CrossClimate+ tyres on (not available for the 19" Craters); anyone know where's cheapest to order a full set from? I'm going to guess it won't be from the UK dealers
-
Looks great! One question, does it block the boot light / torch on the left?
