That is who I have booked the full service and Timing Belt with so great to hear

Garage said caliper was fried. When I came back from teh short run I could feel teh heat from that wheel from over a metre away. I have a good relationship with the garage so I am inclined to trust him.

Thanks all, I'll try and find out more about the charger to see if I can charge in situ. It looks like it is 5Ah so less than 10% that the manual states is a slow charge so sounds feasible. 2016, Mileage is 98K, I had booked a full service and timing belt as no evidence of that and needed a service. Local VAG place doing that. The inside and bodywork is in good order but the panels are definitely misaligned in places. MOT history says crash damage early in its life but it was never written off. He only charged £5500 so it was a decent price if it didn't have all these early issues. I'm stuck with it now and I'm hoping once the teething problems are out the way it will be as good as my Mk 2 which has required a couple of springs, front discs and pads and a few tyres in the 50K I have done

Looked through the infotainment manual online and it doesn't mention any security codes. Still a wee bit unsure if I can take the battery out the car to charge with the 5Ah charger I am getting. and the car will recognise it when replaced and hopefully back to a good charge

My wife bought her brothers Superb Mk iii a couple of weeks back against my advice. I just got a feeling and decided against it without even driving it. She took it a quick spin and bought it straight away. It lay in the drive while we sorned the other car and got insurance etc and then I took it for a run after it had sat about a week. First turn of the wheels and it felt all wrong. Clearly a brake was sticking and as it had sat I decided to drive round the block to see if it freed itself. IT felt sluggish and not as nippy as my MK 2 Superb estate. After about 3 miles I turned for home and hit a pothole taking a tyre out. Nursed it home and it lay in the drive while I sourced smaller alloys to change the ridiculous 19" ones it came with. Booked the garage, changed the alloys for 18"s which was all I could find local and it sat for another week. Started it to go to garage and it just got started and flashed a start stop warning. Anyhows the garage just cam back and it needs new discs and pads and a rear calliper. That will be another week before they could do it as they are struggling at the moment. Drove it home and dash was warning after warning, ABS, start stop, etc etc. So I have another week and a battery that is low or goosed. I ordered a smart charger as my old one was not going to do the job. I got this one after a bit of reading and hopefully it will turn up tomorrow or Sunday. The question is should I pull the battery out to charge which is what I always have done or leave it in place. If left in place do I disconnect the negative terminal and attach the charger to positive and an earth point. Lastly does the radio etc have a code. The radio is the standard one with the 2.0 tdi 150 se executive. The car came with no booklets so I don't have a code. It may be under the passenger seat but the little compartment will not open so who knows. At least it was cheap but I will end up paying what I could have got another one for possibly an estate which I favour and I doubt I will trust it for a long time.

I'll get my local garage to do it and advise them to stick a new loom in, thanks

Cheers, Is that a door card off job, might be beyond my skills

I have an issue with my MK 2 Superb Estate. My wife couldn't get the drivers door to open this morning. She ended up climbing over and it drove fine home. The door wouldn't even open from the inside. When she got home I tried my key and it all worked fine. Windows and doors no problem. As I was locking the car I noticed I had left the passenger window open so went back into the car and I couldn't get it to shut from the driver's side button. It closed fine with the button on the passenger side. The door is now opening and closing fine but the windows and mirrors are not working from the drivers side controls. Any ideas on what the issue is. I am presuming it is wiring given it is intermittent but no idea really
