First bit of proper warmth today and I decided to set the a/c to low and wasn’t impressed I turned the a/c on and off a few times with the bonnet open and I can see two fans and neither are spinning. I admit I’ve neglected the system a bit as it’s 2016 and never been recharged so hoping it’s just that, my mindset has always been it’s a sealed system so shouldn’t need it but hopefully I’m just wrong. I doubt there’s anything I can check or do without diagnostic equipment? I believe the UK law is they empty it then fill it with oxygen and if it’s hold pressure they can then refill, if it doesn’t I guess there’s a leak.

If it’s in warranty take it to them ASAP, do not mention that slamming seems to temp fix it as they’ll then bound to say slamming it has caused it, even though it temp fixes it No point waiting because if it’s a case where it’s in and out it’s better they try to fix it whilst it’s in warranty and looks less suspicious

Forgot to update this, I done a web chat with Skoda uk and wouldn’t tell me. I then rang my local Skoda who said I have the 3W3 (2016 SEL) but I’m convinced they said I did to get me off the phone. I’ll find out for sure whenever I change the bulbs

Are you the Crasher from ukpassats/vwaudiforum years ago?

This might not be that helpful if you don’t know German, I don’t do no idea what he’s saying but I do know the oil temps are a lot higher so I think you’ll be fine and I’m sure mines around 110 too https://youtu.be/TEf_0Jpoy5o

I got the Mann filter, you can go on their website and find the correct one. When you change the pollen filter make sure you put a bit of cardboard under the pollen filter then pull the cardboard out whilst holding the pollen filter. Majority of the videos online don’t do this 😞

I don’t believe anyone has managed to fit boot lights without some sort of problems unless they’ve bought these http://www.kopacek.com/Skoda/SUPERB-III/Superb-III-Combi-MEGA-POWER-LED-cargo-trunk-light-KI-R Rather expensive but if they fit and guaranteed to work then it’ll be the best option

This has been a problem for years in cars, years ago cars were built then priced. These days they are built to a price. Seems scrimping on things which were once the norm is the way forward 😞

I believe I found the part and it’s called Tunnel Brace according to elsawin, but it looks like to take it off you need to move loads of plastic parts which I can’t be bothered to do. What I’ll do is rust convert and rust oleum combi colour it. I’ll do this as I’ve just done the same on my wife’s Fiat 500’s rear axle so already have the parts.

Not my car, but see near the centre of the car there's a bar, that's the one

Hello, I not long had a service and noticed my center cross member was really rusty, they didn't mention anything about it, but i'd like to get it treated before it becomes a problem as it looks like it's not coated as standard. I believe the part is possibly 5Q0 804 421B from looking at the parts system, but i'm not sure as that could be closer to the engine. It's the part which is under the exhaust in the centre of the car, if anyone happens to know what the torque settings are that'll be ideal, as i'd like to take it off to coat it then put it back on Thanks

My cars a March 2016 and on original AGM and it’s still going strong, I tend to do around 3-4K a year. I believe I’ve had it twice in the last 3 or 4 years where it says “12v low, drive to charge” Based on my experience I’d get another AGM as I’ve heard EFB’s on here failing and much younger than mine. When you get it replaced do get it coded especially as it’s going from 68 to 70. You’ll see the new battery does not have a BEM code as this is what Vag put on themselves but whoever codes this should know what they’re doing. I’d recommend looking for a vag specialist and just say you got the battery can they fit and code for you, be easiest and they’ll know what to do correctly first time

On that video he resets the oil then pops up with inspection at the end but then it didn’t come back. If yours still comes back then yeah it’ll need something like VCDS or similar

try that, I’ve not done it myself and that’s on an octavia but I doubt it’s different im not sure if that resets it for another year or two if your car is on the long service setting

I had the same today but I done exactly 3000 since last year 😬 3 of my holidays would have been half of that too, who says you shouldn’t get a diesel if you do low mileage 😂

What is it you don’t like about ACC just out of interest? The only thing that I don’t like is when you pull out to overtake it takes a while to pick up speed. In the driver mode you can customise “normal” to have the ACC as Sport, but I always forget to try it out whenever I go on the motorway. So if your reason for not liking it is that give that a try, unless someone else on here has theirs set to Sport and can confirm or deny whether that resolves the sluggishness

I’m not sure what kind of tech that is, but I had the same on my brand new LG oled tv but that magically disappeared after a few weeks. If that screen is lcd it probably won’t go sadly

I’d start by putting the car on axle stands then remove the plastic under shield then look from below as surely it’ll travel to the rear of the car

Way too much rear bumper, looks quite horrible if that’s how it’ll end up looking

My car is in for a service and mot next week so I can ask them then if I don’t have any luck with the chat, which I didn’t know existed so cheers for that 👍

Oh that’s good to know, but I’d have to spend money on getting Erwin for an hour to get my build sheet doh. I’ll go on the basis that it may or may not have it and will find out when I remove it. If it doesn’t and it’s not that much of a chore removing the panels I’ll add it at a later date thanks all

It is labelled as “noise insulation” When I had the asymmetric 6’s installed the cars near silent but I’m still thinking if I could get it quieter, not that’s it’s an issue. I’ll see if I can remember to update this when I work out whether to get Osram night breaker lasers or Osram cool blue intense next gen. Be alright if it was £50 for a set of bulbs and I made the wrong decision but it’s double that and more 😞

Yours is L&K right? I wonder if it’s 1st and 2nd class kind of thing 😂

Yeah I found the part numbers in ETKA (3v0 805..) only a couple of quid but someone’s comment was his Sportline didn’t have the foam bits. I was thinking when I’ve got the wheel archers off I may aswell fit them there and then if missing, but would be good to know if it’s not there as I can get them ordered because it’ll come from factory no doubt

Hey up, I’m still procrastinating about changing my xenon bulbs. There’s a picture/video showing how to do it and I noticed that on his car he has foam which I guess is sound deadening. On the same video someone said their Sportline didn’t have it, but is it on SE-L as standard? The video for reference
