Spark Plugs
My Superb is about 4.5 years old and has done an embarrassingly small mileage (about 5000). It is now due a service and the Skoda garage asked whether I wanted the spark plugs changing at what seemed to me to be a pretty steep cost. He did say that they recommend changing them at 4 years or 40,000 miles but I just wonder what people have found in practice. Personally I can't see that it would be necessary but what do other people think?

Skoda Superb Virtual Cockpit
Thank you both very much. In the end, after a lot more general fiddling about, pressing one of the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel sorted it out.

Skoda Superb Virtual Cockpit
I have a Superb from 2021 and have had it from new. Recently I have found that I cannot change the virtual cockpit view at all. Clicking on "Classic", "View 1", "View 2" or "View 3" doesn't change anything at all. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, was it a software problem or something more fundamental (and therefore, more expensive to fix!)?

Skoda Connect
Just in case it helps anyone else, it seems to have been a temporary glitch with the Skoda web site as all worked normally this morning.

Skoda Connect
I have had a Skoda Superb for a couple of years and last year renewed the Skoda Connect service without any difficulty. I have now received an email to say that it needs renewing again but when I click on the link and follow things through I get the following message "No vehicle with Skoda Connect services is available for this account at the moment. Please go to the Skoda Connect Portal and add such a vehicle to your account" However, all the details of my car are clearly on the site. Is this a timing issue (it is a little over a month till the renewal date) or is there a more significant problem with the service?

Connect Services
I have had my Superb for about a year so the Connect Services are coming up for renewal. When I look at what is involved, it seems to fall into two parts, "Remote Access" for £36 and "Infotainment Online" for £44, giving a total of £80 for one year. This seems very expensive. Does anyone actually renew?

Tyre Inflators
I am looking to get an electric tyre inflator, but with so many on the market would appreciate some guidance. To start somewhere, I was looking at a Ring RTC1000. However some reviewers suggest that there can be a problem with fitting the connector into the 12v socket in the car. Has anybody got experience of these or, indeed, an alternative suggestion to make?

Data Transfer Setting
Gax, Thank you for another very helpful reply. The GDPR point hadn't occurred to me. I won't find the message quite as annoying now.

Data Transfer Setting
I have just got a new Skoda Superb SEL with the Amundsen infotainment equipment. Generally I am very pleased with it, but every time I start the car, I get a message pop up on the infotainment screen saying "Data transfer is currently set to “Share my position”. You can find out what this setting entails and how you can change it in the control centre." At the moment I have no idea what the "control centre" is or how to stop this annoying little message popping up every time I start the car. All help and advice would be really appreciated.

Skoda Superb Specification
In the autunm of 2017 I got a Skoda Superb and have been very pleased with it. As my four year PCP is coming to an end, I thought I might replace it with a new Skoda Superb. I have the SEL version. However, when I look at the new SEL, the specification seems to have been reduced. For example the Columbus Infotainment is now an Amundsen. Has anyone noticed any other significant changes.
