3T51704x4

I have a steering wheel off my T6 DSG which has paddles, may be able to retrofit the switches to the blue cars wheel. Not looked into retrofit of travel assist. It does have multi function camera and blindspot assist with the same adaptive cruise to stop then go as the high mile one, so wonder if its coding only as already has the hardware, don't know, not researched it. And massage for driver I could do without. The low miles may have to give way to the toys.

Its a private sale, not on autotrader

Few minor events logged but more importantly, the ecu logged mileage matches the dash mileage

Agreed, I do like the full LED lights, I can also update it as and when releases are available if needed with my diag unit. I get your point though.

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202610167041901?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios-app This is the low mileage one. Anyone on here recognise it? A proper history background would be nice. But then it doesn’t have the other options, the paint needs a pro mop quoted starting from £700 depending on scratch depths and damage. Looks good in the photo, but up close so disappointing. And it’s a bit too bling, I’m more for an understated paint job. Electric blue, I thought it was Cobalt blue. Think Audi called this Nogaro blue on the RS4 B5 I had a midnight blue S4 as even then the nogaro was too bling.

So the low mileage one 25K is 1K GBP more, built within a few months of each other Doesnt have DSG paddles, road sign recognition camera, drivers seat massage and has 19 inch rims rather than 18s. Massive difference in price and I have a trade account with a massive tyre wholesaler. The higher mile one has the above options 1K less but digging into its history, it had a cracked sump and lost oil to point red pressure light was noted but immediately turned off. Sump was replaced at a dealer and no issue reported since. Has the much cheaper tyres better colour but note on last mot for front lower arm bushes rear worn but not displaced or causing excessive movement. Im going to buy one or the other this weekend unless something else comes up.

Found it, scroll to 4 mins 50 ish

I agree on the diesel or small petrol engines.. Incidentally if you turn the heater to full hot and keep revs below 1500 they dont overheat when stuck so you can get it to a workshop. I was looking at a EA 888 Gen3 B, The pump is on the gearbox side and run from a rubber belt. The plastic housings crack (bit like something they were smoking when it was designed) causing minor leaks initially, then easily spotted pink crystal formation from the Evo coolant. You need a flexible inspection camera to see them without stripping parts off in the early stages. Look at BAZ Merideths YouTube channel where he did a pump on an L&K in the last year or so, shows the housing cracking up close.

Looked at one this evening which was low miles (25K), but paintwork was shocking. Would have taken it straight away if it was as good as the rest of the car. Found nut shells in a hidden well with my inspection camera while checking out the waterpump housing for leaks. Worth a look though. Didn't bother driving it due to the paintwork.

True! Think I will stick with the one I’ve seen. Deffo didn’t want a pan roof due to previous experience with a U boat Audi. Never again.

I’ve seen both of those, good specs on both, but early facelift with Gen 3B, not a deal breaker for the right price I suppose. No similar car, private sale.

I do two trips to the borders and two trips to the French Alps a year, everything else is short trips max 40 mins Oh now @travs threw a spanner in the works with the gen 4 888 🙈

I'm not too bothered about a big turbo at my age, I used to work for Porsche in the 90's, I've had a Bi turbo A6 Allroad and two S4's a 1000 Exup Yamaha and Honda Fireblade, got the speed thing out of my system now...... I thought. I've seen too many AdBlue system and DPF issues to put me off enough to consider a petrol this time around. Suffered an AdBlue tank heater and a low pressure pump code recently resulting in new tank unit on my T6.1 van, it's only done 40K. Moisture ingress to the ecu caused the heater to fail and pump not building pressure sporadic. I've seen nibbled injector pipe and harnesses, constant regens from blocked low pressure egrs, coolant leaks in the coolers the list goes on.....But that torque punch of a diesel and the tank mileage can't be ignorned. Its not the car which makes me stop off now on a long run, it's my inability to go too long without the loo which hinders the progress these days 😄 .... Hmmmmm not sure I can cross over. Got a week to decide, and thats what I am bad at....HELP ☺️

I use the VWG diesel additive, never had an issue with the EGR valve touch wood. I have seen lots that have failed, trying to keep on top of the sludge is the key and turning the ejector nozzle next to the V157 valve must have helped mine, think I posted a how to way back when....

Hope so, 1 owner car L&K wagon 4x4 DNUA <40K miles

So you should be able to get going by swapping over parts OR wiring. I have no experiance of the new Superb lights, but hopefully I will start learning if the one I see next weekend is the right car. Good luck!!

In the UK we call it CP Component protection. Your dealer would have been able to release it IF it had CP using ODIS I would have thought using function enabling. Did your lights come with new modules or did you swap them from your old lights?

https://youtu.be/3MglpJZ2bTs?si=7ulA3bTA7_AJ8eO1 You can see the wires I'm talking about when he removes a module to check the seal. But obviously for the motor instead.

Yes. The solid wires drawn in the CFD for the headlight are actually normal wires. So it will have a live an earth and a feedback to the module.

Its clearly working so I would suggest the feedback signal wire could be broken which (if it is) will prevent the basic settings from setting correctly.

If they say its a motor, can you not swap it over from your cracked one? Ive never seen a motor fail in an undamaged light, normally broken wires from moving the unit up and down, think Ive seen a tech bulletin for this but on Audi rather than Skoda.

Looking at a facelift S3 next weekend. Fingers crossed

Just looked the numbers up, both valid for S3, also shows those numbers as left hand drive versions. If you swap your modules over, it shouldnt need coding, but will deffo need alignment with workshop equipment. Not tried out my Beissbarth MLD 9000 on matrix lights yet,(bought cheap for retrofit of LED lights on T6 Vans) may get a chance if I buy the car I'm looking at next weekend. I can't find anything published why they wont fit on ETKA, PR numbers are the same for both. Always a bit of a gamble not using the same numbers, both numbers are valid so one may be a high and one a low version.

I think the punch of the diesel would be too much to miss. so will prob go for the higher output diesel........ Hmmm but the 280 sounds like fun too.....

Yes, I like that in the van too. I think the MK3 looks better too, but very few 4x4 3.5's about with all the goodies at a price I'm willing to pay. Looking around 19 0r 21 plate. Like the later matrix lights, but the shutter Xenon look interesting.
