Thanks Simon. I’ll look into that 

Did you resolve this Simon

[Poor rear washer performance or just normal?]

Mine is exactly the same as the video, although better than the through the wiper motor design on the mk2. 

[Drivers door loom??]

My apologies, I posted someone elses photo by mistake, I have now amended my post..

[Drivers door loom??]

Thanks for the info, a very cursory look between rain squalls has revealed nothing. Hopefully it will not be raining as much tomorrow and I can check a bit better and where it goes through the door.

 

[Drivers door loom??]

Afternoon everyone.... 2014 Superb Elegance Estate 170bhp.

For some time now the drivers window has lost its memory every time the ignition was switched off, then the other day the motion locks began working intermittently as well as windows from the drivers door switches, now now of that works and in addition the offside doors will not lock.

My guess is that several wires in the drivers door loom are broken, the car is used for private hire and has 261,000 miles up.

The local Stealer has just quoted me £168 for a new loom, I was too shocked to ask if that was PLUS VAT.

Is there a go to place for parts like this please.

Thanks in advance.

It is literally exactly as Sanmart described.

I agree with that.

[Abnormal Tyre Wear]

Looks like you're getting wear on the inside shoulder which is common enough. Is it a Greenline or standard model?

 

Most likely it's a combination of sagging rear springs & dampers and wheel alignment being a bit off. I posted details of the geometry in the thread below. See what your ride height is like before going any further.

 

 Standard not Greenline....Im more concerned they only lasted 6,800 miles...on the back, fronts still got plenty left..

 

[Abnormal Tyre Wear]

Evening All, I have a 2014 Elegance Estate with 238,380 up. I bought it with 153k miles. It had a set of flebay Eurovis tyres on, then it has had 2 sets of Nexens which lasted just under 20k a set, the n/s rear always needed replacing before the others but I always change in axle pairs or full sets. Anyway, I didnt think 20k was particularly good out of a set and in Sept Costco had an offer on Goodyear Eagles so I fitted a set.

As the car is a Private Hire I'm normally very fussy about things like tyres checking regularly. I was stunned this morning to find that after only 6,800 miles the rears were on the markers, now changed for new Nexens on the rear, plenty of tread left on the front Goodyears.

Anyone else had anything similar, being front drive Im used to front tyres wearing faster than the rears.

[Heater flap motor]

That looks great thank you very much.

It is the whole of the drivers side that has no heat.

When you fit the new one how does the flap know what position it should be in, do you set the dial to cold or something??

[Heater flap motor]

Yes, Ive seen that, but thanks for looking

I had the car in at the local Audi Indy the other week for another matter, they checked and said its the potentiometer for the flap motor.

Ive just had the Columbus unit out to see if anything is visible but cant see anything. The Indy did say the dash has to come out, Im guessing seats, centre console then centre dash.

The thermistor is not quite as accessible as the Golf or I would take it out and test it.

Unfortunately I dont have VCDS

[Heater flap motor]

Hi everyone, I have a 2014 Superb Elegance with Climatronic, diagnosed by Indy with inoperative driver side flap motor, warm air on passenger side but cold on drivers side, have done the flap reset to no avail.

Has anyone changed one please? Can someone point me to a diagram/schematic so I can see exactly where it is please?

If I change it will it need VCDS to set it up?

[Heating blowing cold and different from one side to the other]

Hi Carl, I would reset the heater flaps first. I had cooler air on one side and this sorted the problem. See vid below.

Hi Andy - it might be a spec thing.

I think that all Elegance & L&K FL cars had LEDs as standard. Not sure if it was an option for other trim levels?

My Superb is a Jan 2014 Elegance, has just had the software update. I had assumed it was equipped with LEDs but not so, standard filament indicator bulbs in the rear.

Hi there

I have a 2014 Superb greenline estate and the heater blower doesn't work. I have checked the fuse which allegedly covers the fan (20a) and it was fine.

any ideas? 

thanks!

Anti clockwise from under iirc.

And if you look under the scuttle on the passenger side you should see a threaded screw hole ( believed to be for a l/h drive cars wipers), this is where water can enter and drop down onto the blower motor. I squirted some silicon into mine...problem solved.

I decided to buy new because most of the wires were cracked and some snapped thought might aswell do it properly while am keeping the car, it cost me 144 quid not the cheapest but I like my car😁

Blimey, thats not cheap is it?? My drivers door window loses its memory and doesnt go up/down on the key, but at that price I think it can stay like it.

[Signaling Recall for Superb, anyone else?]

Had mine done today, they said it would take 3 or 4 hours (because we cant work on it until its been cleaned), left it at 09.15am, had a call at noon to say "its on the ramp" and appears to be due a cambelt, brake fluid change and air con service, the usual attempt at upselling but no pressure when I said it had all been done.

I was expecting another call to say I could collect it but I ended up calling them at 4.30pm, full of apologies that I hadn't had another call to go and collect it. They had washed it though.

[Aux drive belt]

I'm sure the belt is relatively easy to change... the tensioner not so...

[Aux drive belt]

 

This is a video of a Passat with a snapped aux belt, it shows changing the tensioner ..

I cant believe you have to take all that out to change the tensioner!! Not a job for lying on your back on the drive eh!?

 

[Aux drive belt]

No mate, if you open the bonnet and look between the front of the engine and the inner wing ( by the washer bottle) you can just see the aux belt... they normally drive alternator, water pump, a/c and power steering..

[Aux drive belt]

Has anyone changed the aux drive belt please, 2014 2.0 TDI, I am guessing access is behind the OSF wheel. Thanks.

[Water leak in cabin]

Great mate, I couldn't get the wipers off so justified the corner of the scuttle cover.... I could see the screw hole with water in it, now suitably full of silicon sealant.

Many thanks.
