Brake caliper refresh
Christ, I can see why you wanted to replace your brake dust covers now. Do you live near the sea like in the sea? š

My Car Does Not Stop/Brake Automatically When A Car stationary In Front Of Me
The bit you highlighted doesnāt seem to apply to my car, it certainly did when I almost rear ended a caravan which didnāt have any lights and reacted before I did š¬ I remember it well because I passed solids almost, had a red warning pop up then it jammed on the brakes.

Regen dpf
Have you used vcds to monitor? Whatever youāre using could be misleading and inaccurate. vcds is expensive and usually for a reason, itās just better With vcds I believe you can force a regen, then go on the motorway at night, stick it in 3rd or 4th so the revs over 2k for 15minutes then it should do its thing. Also are you getting the dpf light on your dash? If not Iām sure I read on here some folk had fan constantly running after a drive and thought it was DPF but it was actually a duff relay

What have you done to your Superb III today?
On their website it says Ā£229 for the bag I got with collection š® I wouldnāt even pay that much to discretely dispose of a body

What have you done to your Superb III today?
It is but very expensive for them to collect, the bag was cheap at Ā£17 from b&q and the tips not far and much better than laying tarpaulin and trying to make it stay up at the sides It seems very durable so can see it lasting ages, I not long put in a fabric boot liner but didnāt want it getting ripped as thereās some unremovable screws š

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Took down my old summer house and been doing several trips to the tip I got fed up with the tarpaulin I was using falling down so bought a hippo bag medium (1.8m long x 90cm wide, fits rather well with the seats folded down š

SKODA SUPERB HEADLIGHT MELTING PROBLEM
Hmm raise it with them and Skoda customer services if you have to. Last thing you want to do is fork out loads in the future

Rear seatbelt
Youāll need to remove the seat, unbolt the lock, then when itās removed shake it about until whatever is in there comes out then refit. When you put the lock remember to torque it correctly. There was someone on here recently who found an old bit of glass which fell in and stopped it locking, so itās fixable for you too hopefully

Battery drain - Columbus update?
When you replaced the battery was it done correctly by changing settings using vcds etc?

Rear nearside vent glass replacement
Go through insurance, Ā£30 or so excess and jobs a goodun. I not long had a replacement windscreen through a claim, auto glass fixed the stone chip which didnāt help, so whole new windscreen but I insisted on genuine, two times they turned up with non genuine and 3rd they did, I didnāt have to pay more than the Ā£10 for the windscreen chip and insurance didnāt go up (in fact it went down this year). if your back window is tinted Iād insist on genuine part too as non OEM is bound to be slightly lighter or darker

What are your thoughts
If youāre only going to do short miles do you really need such a large car and pricey? I guess you wonāt always do roughly 4 miles but have you considered an older and much cheaper car? Iām hardly one to talk only doing 3k a year but if you can save loads of money might as well, if money isnāt really a problem then no problem paying to fix things if they go wrong

What have you done to your Superb III today?
IMO everytime a service is done you should at least take the air filter out and give it a bash and vacuum, but as theyāre cheap no issues replacing as well

EPC error
What was up with it?

GPS Issue - is it Aerial, Amp or connection? Superb Mk3 2017 Estate/Combi
Also have you had it checked for codes? One other thing which is worth a shot, if your maps arenāt update to date, update them as it does a proper reboot of satnav, I guess youāve updated them before? If not there is a guide on here I can point you to

GPS Issue - is it Aerial, Amp or connection? Superb Mk3 2017 Estate/Combi
Not sure tbh, someoneās bound to have made one even if itās for a golf or so as itāll somewhat similar speaking of golf, have you searched for something like āvw golf mk7 gps position incorrectā, thereās a few posts with similiar problems to you, someoneās got fixed after changing head unit completely eek. He had it in with VW who changed antenna etc but didnāt help. So if I were you Iād try disconnecting and reconnecting antenna and connectors to head unit (I believe some of them go to the unit in glove box) Another thing, is your compass showing correctly?

EPC error
Is it a courtesy car they gave you? Looks alright to me. I wonder what the purpose of that cubby hole is hmm Saying that the pockets on the superbs seats, anyone found a purpose for them? Is the driver meant to put something in the passenger pocket and passenger in drivers? š®

It would be best to remove the shark fin and check part number. Youāll be able to check the connectors whilst there.

Dampers. I know, I know.
If it helps I know people who have fitted B4ās to Fiat 500ās as will I be soon. They say itās a slightly firmer ride which is a good thing. One of my friends has Koni actives on his beemer and loves them, he does a lot of miles a year and been on there the last 5 or so years

Thatās true but insurance companies like to get out from paying anything so better safe than sorry
