I believe you said it was the front left which shows the error? is this the one with the odd tyre? You can always move the wheel from front left to rear left and see if the issue follows

Why are you considering an EV when everything is fine with your car? For me there isn’t any benefit to go EV, especially now EV’s will be paying hundreds in tax, you’d think the government would have kept it free but Labour hate us “rich” people who own cars so hardly surprised

So I’m a bit clueless but had to look again and it was spinning, I also turned it down to LO from 23 and set it to max for windscreen I think the car is getting a bit dictator like. I’ll ignore it for now as I don’t want the stress again and hopefully when things heat up in a few months it’s still cold inside and fan spinning. Still convinced I have a really really slow leak though because of the pipe being oily and tape around headlight cables looks damp but could be from when previous issues. Does VCDS show refrigerant weight? Hopefully getting vcds soon and would be great if it did, I suppose worst case it’ll say if there’s low refrigerant when the high pressure sensor notices

So long story short I believe I have a leak on my a/c pipe by the back of the headlights It went into Skoda who said the leak was at the joint where the pipe joins behind coolant tank (thin pipe goes to thicker one) back in 2023 at some point I was adamant I saw the leak (ended in a hospital visit) on the thin pipe by headlight, had two dealers look at it and said it wasn’t leaking, but if I put my finger at the bottom of the pipe it’s oily and smells a bit like refrigerant, so I’m convinced I have a leak there Anywau it’s been fine for ages (probably a year at least) getting nice cold air, today I got in my car and had condensation and put the blower onto the windscreen and took a while to go I lifted the bonnet to check the fans and neither are spinning, so question is when a/c is activated should one of the fans be spinning all the time? To me it should be Outside temp is 5oC at the moment which I believe means a/c should be running and fan spinning. I’ve got a horrible feeling all the refrigerant has gone so a/c won’t kick in because it’s effectively empty, I suppose if I had vcds I could see the coolant grams or at least an error? thanks

At least with the non 4x4 you don’t have to do Haldex oil changes and filter cleaning (I believe dealers don’t clean the filter but should). Even though the 4x4 would be better for towing if it didn’t have factory fitted tow bar then the car could overheat when towing because factory fitted then means bigger fans I believe

What’s the recommended approach to changing the diesel fuel filter Is it always suck out diesel in the housing, clean then part fill housing with fresh diesel, put in new filter then top it up? or suck out diesel, clean up, put new filter in and use like vcds to pump new diesel in?

Most likely failing battery, how old is the car and is it still on original battery? No way for certain to prove if it’s the battery which came with it but have a look for a sticker which says BEM then some numbers, if you see that it’s likely to be original because most people will unlikely get a replacement from Škoda

I had this several times, then replaced rear discs and pads and never had the issue since. Guess it wasn’t releasing pads quick enough but not really sure. As it sounds silly cold where you are what’s the general battery condition like? Anything over 5 years old it might be worth getting a new one

I got these Nothing mentioned at MOT, as they just have to work and not as specific at headlights

Just thought quick one to check, if they’re directional tyres you have are they all going forward? Usually listed as “outside” probably easy mistake to make

I can’t quite remember now, but I’ve got the same system as you where it’s done via ABS instead of individual tyre sensors, does it say if a specific tyre is low like front left etc? On your nav, I think it’s like car > info something around that and it should list the issue

Cool, so what I would do now is go round and write down all the pressures Then in 2 days do it again and see if they are all the same, just to rule out there being a slow leak. I had this last year when I had my tyres change and it kept leaking by the valve after I tested it with a soapy spray and been fine since they resealed it. If all pressures fine and remain fine then can rule out tyres Next possible thing is them perhaps disturbing something electrical when changing tyres so check there’s nothing too obvious but I’d have thought you’d have more errors but worth checking fronts at least. I have had fun and games getting it synced, I believe I reset tpms with the engine off, then turned on car and reset tpms again then it was alright

Why only 3 new tyres? You should always have new tyres per axle (both fronts or both rears) I suspect due to different rolling resistance the computer is getting confused

Just looked and no such sticker 😞

It’s a diesel so tdi , ah didn’t know about the sticker I’ll have a look tomorrow 👍

Hello, Hopefully just a daft question, is 5w-30 (vw 504/507 & 505/505.01) the correct oil for 2016 190ps diesel? https://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/C2F9054530066FF980258AE7004603DE/$File/wepp-c9c9jv.pdf I usually just buy Castrol Edge and not actually done my own oil change on my Superb myself yet. I’m sure I read the spec got changed to 0w-30 on here but could’ve been for a petrol Cheers

I feel like there’s need of a how-to 😁

Maybe this? Looks like you just pull it. MK7 golf but close enough and bound to similar

I would expect an array of error messages ACC and emergency breaking as a minimum. Bits can be replaced and recalibrated but not straight forward from what I’ve seen

Gave my car a gentle wash, went to Cornwall recently then the storm hit, despite being tucked out of the way and about a mile away from the beach my car got covered in sand Whole car was like that apart from A pillar which must have flown off on the way home but no where else

Knackered battery by the looks of it

Front bumper off unfortunately I take it your replacing whole headlight and not just changing bulb?

To be honest I’d be surprised if anyone of that was considered possible for warranty claim due to “wear and tear” exclusion. At the very least sort out brake hose first
