Boot seal, rubber grommets especially if towbar fitted. Tail lights around seals would be usual suspects.

I find cars with the auto hold function turned on wear the rear discs and pads at a much faster rate than those with it turned off. There’s plenty of choice with brakes, you don’t need to use the EBC stuff. I do it out of habit as I’ve used them for years without issue. Generally when replacing OEM pads and discs I’ll fit the yellowstuff pads and something like the BSD discs. My last set of pads had 50k on them and the fronts wouldn’t have been half worn, when I sold the car. I’m not hard on brakes though.

Do you use the auto hold function? I always use EBC yellowstuff due to how well they work and how long they last.

The recirculation function should transfer all incoming air through your pollen filter. You can replace the filter to one with a better quality of filtration. Something like the Mann frecious plus range to aid with removing smells. This type of filter will need to be replaced more frequently to keep the cabin air filtered to a higher standard.

Some internals are strengthened in the 272/280 unit. Pistons, exhaust valves and seats. Different cylinder head and cams. Fuel delivery system is uprated, including injectors. I’m sure there’s other bits but that’s probably some of the main ones. In the Golfs, the is38 unit doesn’t seem to suffer from the same end float I’ve seen in the is20 unit, and the same goes for timing chain issues.

Yep. Welcome to Skoda superb ownership. As quick as I can fix dash rattles, new ones appear. That trim should be on with speed clips. Remove it and pad behind it, then replace the trim again. Although Skoda cover it under warranty for 6 months or 6000 miles from new.

If you still don’t trust it, then just have it removed and get a revo agent to install theirs Instead. Then drive away at it and forget about logging and checking parameters or you’ll have a nervous breakdown.

No sign of the transmitter as yet. I’ll let you know when it’s here and set up. Postage not magic for obvious reasons. But I did get my headphones updated to the newest version. I know the Bose and even the Sony have better spec sheets but I just like the comfort and the sound from these.

They have a really nice sound to them. Very natural with most music I listen to. The clarity from artists like Lana del Rey or Florence is intense sometimes. only mistake I made when buying them a few years ago, was taking them in Natural colour. It doesn’t age well!! Thinking of changing them for similar but newer and in black this time. Just not sure yet what to look at as an upgrade. ive ordered the Aventree transmitter, so hopefully be with me in a few days.

Wow, what a response. Thank you. I’ll get a read at the links later tonight when I’ve my homework’s done and the dinner sorted. I had looked at some of the Anentree units as they were highly recommended on the AV forum. I’m using my B&O H9’s at the minute with a QED jack to jack, as I just couldn’t make my mind up on transmitters, and I didn’t want to risk disturbing anyone, as I can’t just keep relying on my Kevlar pyjamas to keep me safe when I do turn in for the night.

Yes. Both DCC. I think it’s probably a personal thing. I just found the seating position in relation to the pedals and wheel more comfortable over distance.

I found the Kodiaq slightly more comfortable than the Superb when I drove them both. I think for me it was helped by the overall seating position compared to the Superb, which boosted comfort levels. The ride in the Kodiaq was also more compliant and less crashy. The only reason I choose the superb was the lack of 272 variant in the Kodiaq. The pick for me if I’d been staying diesel would be the VRS Bi-turbo unit. Overall visibility was a lot better in the Kodiaq as well, which I find leaves me more relaxed during a journey. Personal preference though at the end of the day.

My better half came back to the car a few weeks ago to find some idiot had scuffed it and drove on. So I’ve had to sand it back and remove the 9H coating and replace it all over again. Just relieved the car didn’t need paintwork.

Coming home last night and a recovery unit passed us with “Santa’s” sleigh on the back. My 9yr old shouts out from the back “look daddy, Santa’s been sponsored by Landrover” Cant think where he gets it from 😂.

You could use gummy pflege on the seals. I normally run a length of welding wire down the drain channel that I’ve wrapped in insulating tape, or use an airline blower very gently.

I’m not sure. You would need to check their site and see if anyone in your area fits it. it does work really well. I’ve seen it in use when fitted to more vulnerable vehicles, such as Focus RS, Range Rover’s etc, that are more common to being taken using the RFID technique.

I just assumed the OP wanted to secure the car to a higher standard than factory for peace of mind. No harm in that as far as I can see. the ghost secures it very well, even prevents keyless entry issues at night when your asleep.

Auto watch ghost.

Good chance it’s the anti roll bar bushes.

I have a set of diamond car mats in mine. Brilliant for keeping the interior clean and very well covered. 25% off today with discount code BLACK at checkout.

I had to pull my centre vent out as well and pad it as it recently started to rattle to. Its the one with the hazard switch. Didn’t post as someone else has already shown how to remove and where to pad.

I’ve fitted a few of their intake elbows and intake pipes for different people, and thought the build seemed spot on for the price. Especially when compared to several other more commonly used manufacturers and the prices they charge. Made me wonder about durability in comparison to the others as well and whether to recommend them to folks that ask over the other more expensive items.

As Chazzy has already said, its Reverse Osmosis water. Basically water from the tap ran through a certain amount of different types of filters (6 in my case) to leave it as pure as possible. At that point i can either use it to water the plants or use it for engine coolant etc knowing it won't cause scale or have any chemical traces left in it. When using it for the fish tank, i heat it in a 25 gallon drum to about 30 degrees and add reef salt until i get to the required level (1.024 or 32 ppt), aided by a circulation pump for mixing. The tank if interested is around about 1000ltrs including the sump and all the reactors and skimmers when filled and running. Probably more info than you wanted. lol.

I’ve a habit of using RO water in mine, as I make it in 5 gallon drums for my fish tank anyway.
