Strange Steering
Are you getting this on motorway or anywhere? I usually find the left hand lane on motorway you can get tramlinimg with all the lorry’s sinking in a bit

Interior self-dimming mirror works, but doesn't get dark enough?
Can’t help with why it’s different but the fact you said it upsets your eyes makes me think you should get an eye checkup, just to be sure Then I’d also recommend night glasses, they’ll be yellow and can help loads, yes you’ll look like John Goodman from Big Lebowski but who cares. I’ve read reports of people moaning about LED headlights, yes they are bright but for anyone who has issues, eye checkup and night glasses and you’ll be good

Engine / Ignition Switch-Off Irritations
Have I read this correctly, you switch off the car get out and lock it and the radio stays on?

Silikat bag in coolant resorvoir (diesel engines)
Go back to them, what you should have done ideally is had them replace the header tank with a new one at the same time as water pump as the system would be near empty anyway

alarm went off when jacking up car
it’s not just a case of unlocking the car, you also need to open a door then close If you don’t do that the car will auto lock again

Led/xenon bulbs
Any particular reason? Tbh your xenon’s look good, still think mine are too low despite being checked hmm
-
Led/xenon bulbs
I saw that, didn’t realise it was yours. It’s quite difficult to judge but are the LEDS better? Only problem with AN is it clearly states off-road only so harder to act dumb if bad things happen

DPF cleaner and Fuel Consumption Issues
I’d always avoid additives as not needed here usually, but saying that your car has done crazy miles BTW diesels do lower MPG in winter, so keep that in mind too
-
Led/xenon bulbs
Oh I’m intrigued, how much better do they perform compared to the Xenon’s? Looking at the spec of these they are 4500lm, whereas Osram NBL is 3200lm so on paper it’s better already

Led/xenon bulbs
The chances are low, especially in our cars where you can’t get to the back of the lights easily, but MOT testers are not allowed to remove anything during testing. There are notes about if it’s xenon they’ll be a warming up period, whereas LED is instant so they could tell the difference straight away If you were in an accident and other person said “I was dazzled” or something and it was a serious accident then they’d check but in all honesty it would only be a fatal accident they’d check everything. Also as they’re not E marked and that is legislation you are breaking the law and obviously insurance is technically invalid Osram in other European countries have a direct Halogen to LED replacement which is road legal but UK is slow to get with times

Led/xenon bulbs
Im not sure where you are if you have restrictions on what bulbs you can use, there’s no E marked LED DS3 so illegal to use on cars in UK, will pass MOT though. If you don’t care about that then I’d give these a go https://autobeam.co.uk/collections/led-full-beam/products/led-d3s-dipped-beam-unit

Moving from 19" to 17" wheels - Coding?
I’m sure I’ve seen settings in vcds Tbh I’d much rather the car speedo to over read in case any mobile speed cameras are out fishing Ross-Tech ForumsError trying to set tire circumference on 2018 VW GTI DSG.Hello, I have been trying to adjust my tire circumference via 17-Instrumentation/Coding/Long Coding/ Byte 3/ but the setting will not take from "varient 3". I need "varient 4" for my larger tire size

Skoda Superb 2018 - missing service history - is it a buy or leave?
You may need to take in consideration that is during the Covid years, could be as simple as too hard to get it booked in and they done the service themself or it was serviced at a different garage. I wouldn’t be concerned at all, especially as I took ownership of my mums old Passat b5.5 which didn’t have an oil change in 10 years!! Ran perfectly but obviously I did change it when I owned it

Workshop P
Excellent thank you, it’s been behaving correctly recently but it’s clearly on its way out, job for warmer months

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Have you got a link to the camera you got please? I’ve been debating whether to get one, as long as it’s 100% plug and play, no cables to cut and splice into I’m interested. Looks like your car is a 2016 too, mines an estate if that matters for the camera link Thanks
-
What have you done to your Superb III today?
Ah, I thought so, I’ve got exactly the same issue From the video I’ve seen there’s a tiny pin, did you remove that and not use it? From what I can tell it’s only there until it’s inside the car then it can be removed but not entirely sure

Parking switch?

P2459 code
Have a look for a good independent garage who specialises in ze German cars The problem with all motorway miles is the revs are low, so a good thrashing when warm is good but that also causes more soot. When safe to do so go on the motorway but keep it in low gear for 15 mins so the revs around 2.5k

Limp Mode and Persistent Error Code - P06DA00 Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit/Open - Repair or Reject?
If it was me it would go back and I’d look elsewhere, purely because if I buy a car I expect it to be tip top and not have to worry over something. If it was an ABS sensor which I had recently it was very easy to diagnose, firstly there was a fault and secondly I was able to do a live scan and see that one of abs sensor was recording 0kph, others were receiving speeds, £40 later and I bought and replaced it and job done. Go here and enter your reg https://www.tayna.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23075948330&gbraid=0AAAAADtA3JfkKNBjGbzc-58IXDD5RbPbo Look for Varta AGM battery (probably best you can get) if the dealer won’t pay for it and to have it “coded” in then yeah give it back. Also for a car that’s at temp the idle speed looks way too high, can’t remember if mine was higher when abs sensor was knackered but car was grim to drive, started off okay but as soon as I got off my drive and drove all the errors popped up

thinking of changing models, after views
Personally the new ppm for hybrids and EV’s put me off longer, nor would I get a hatchback as estates much more appealing

Increasing the visibility of the main beam warning light
The only thing I can think of which I’m sure you’ve done is adjust the seat to ne higher then lower the steering column if needed
