Quick update: My mechanic friend checked the ball joint and control arm bushing and more but all was ok. Running at 2.3bar the inside of the tyre for very hot however at the higher pressure of 2.8, the inside of the tyres are still get warmer than the outside which I suppose is normal as there’s less air flow.

Marktgod147: will try 2.8 bar and check the effect over a few weeks.

Hello All, I have a Skoda Superb 218 Sportline and have had to get two new front tyres (Pirelli P7 235/40 R19 96W). The near side tyre deflated due to excessive wear on the inside just like PhillipH and Russ1610. I was told by the guy that ran the tyre place, that the wear was too excessive for it to be the camber. He pointed to worn ball joints or worn control arm bushings. When I got home I checked the insides of each tyre and they were much hotter that the outside. Running the tyres at a higher pressure and rotating them as AGFalco suggested, seem a work around and not a fix. PhillipH/Russ1610: Did you get to the bottom of what caused this issue?? My mechanic friend is going to have a look tomorrow, hopefully, so I'll update when I know more.

Hello, i have a Superb Sportline 68 plate. Recently I’ve been getting “Please check left dipped bean headlight” warnings along with “Error cornering light (AFS)” warning messages. See attached photos below. When I check, sure enough the left dipped light does not work. However the next time I start my car either the next day or some time after, the warning messages do not appear and the left dipped light works. I have booked it in at the dealership for investigation, but I’m not expecting them to find anything. Has anyone else experienced this gremlin?? If so how did you resolve it? It is getting quite annoying. Any advice would be welcome. Many thanks, Sanjay
