Don’t know what happened here but trying again. Took my MkIII for a spin yesterday after leaving dormant for a week. Already had slow turnover worries but it started first time if a bit weary. Bombed down the motorway in 5th for about 10 miles and then stopped for a fill up. Went to start after paying and nothing ☹️ . Hour later got jump and took it home. Would have thought the journey would have charged and not drained the battery 🤔

k

All, not posted for a while probably because by 2016 MK III 105,000 mile Superb has been going great and I have stopped commuting to work for 6 months ! I have however had the orange engine management light on for a little while with no obvious issue other than the car no longer likes starting on cold mornings. Took car into dealership and they put the battery on charge but said the orange fault light comes up as the ECU. Without any further info to go on, the dealership says they would have to replace the ECU. They have no experience of an ECU fault before. Well the cost of ECU itself is only £1,100 ( I think plus VAT) . So without any obvious problem with the car I declined the offer of a replacement. Thoughts please .... thank you.
