Nothing worse than someone with a problem then never getting back with an update, so kudos to you 🍻

I’ll check that out, only problem I have is the when playing music via Bluetooth. Majority of the time it works fine, but sometimes when the song changes it still displays the same song playing, other times it gets in a right hissy fit and only plays 1 song on repeat. I’ve had it a few times where I have to completely reconnect my phone as well So I was thinking that’s got to be some kind of bug. I was looking at Skoda servicing and doesn’t specifically mention “software updates” like other manufacturers do during servicing.

What’s the official method of upgrading software? I have Columbus, is this something the dealer should do during a service?

Email notification is in English but your message here isn’t, weird. Never heard of them, I’m very much a person who believes in buy cheap pay twice. So personally I wouldn’t touch them as changing the bulbs involves taking the wheel arch liner off and not something I’d want to often, so if those very cheap bulbs end up being rubbish you’ll have to buy other ones and repeat the process. I’d stick with Osram or Philips, but as you’ll see the prices are high compared to those cheap ones. Have a look at this guys channel as he tests bulbs in his octavia. Here’s a video of arguably the best two xenons His reviews seem very informative even though it’s in German and subs don’t work, but later in the video he has side by side videos

Just a heads up for people who want genuine wheels, always buy the accessory wheel rather than the “normal” one example Skoda stratos 3V0 601 025 C (8Z8) is rocking £438.07 each But if you look at the accessory list Skoda Stratos 3V0 071 495 C (8Z8) is a £191.00 each.

Just found this One of the comments he says they’re fine in the rain, but that’s hardly torrential rain, so I’m not sure if his comment is based on that result. might be worth commenting on that video to see if he can answer your question If they’re not legal that’s the risk you’ll have to take should anything happen and insurance tries to wriggle their way out of paying

I’m not sure on the legalities in Spain but UK it is illegal. Why do you want to change to LED? If it’s purely for light colour then see if Osram Cool Blue Boost is legal in Spain, if it’s not legal then Osram Cool Blue Intense most likely will be. As lights are to see where you’re going you really want lower Kelvin rating but then I admit it looks dated these days.

Surely if you drive the 280 it should be SPG (smiles per gallon) measured?

Which ones did you go for out of interest?

Not bad at all

Is it possible you can take a picture of the rear disc hub? As these are coated I’m hoping it still looks new. Friend of mine has these on his car which is a totally different male and still fine

It very much depends on your model as to which brakes you need. I might be wrong but on the 220/280hp the rears are vented and 310mm , if yours is not vented then it should be 300mm. I’m buying these personally very soon, but getting my local dealer to install them for £150, expensive I know but independent was around £5 cheaper https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/brembo-brake-disc-10444224A https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/brembo-brake-pad-10144208A

Very similar, I’ve been doing more searching and Wurth HSS-2000 looks to be the ideal product to use for relubing, not exactly cheap mind you. I’ll be purchasing that as it sprays like a liquid then turns into a grease, so it’ll penetrate in nicely, I’ll spray the door latch lock itself as well

For my car it was lack of lubrication and back to normal for now. I did only use plusgas though so not expecting it to long, unless it dislodged a bit of grit/dirt

Yesterday I did spray a little plus gas by the handle bit, didn’t seem to do much. but today… So I guess it needed some time to think about it and now behaving

Possibly but surely it would be hard to open from the inside as well, hmm

Forgot to mention when the door is open the handle isn’t stiff and opening from the inside is fine when the door is closed. My old car (Passat b5.5) had an issue like this but there was a cable with a plastic end and you could move that forward a few notches to make it tight again. Does the Superb have this hidden somewhere rather than visible on the Passat?

So after 4 or so years I have my first problem with my superb. The drivers door is quite stiff to open, I’ve sprayed it to see if it helps but I doubt it. Any ideas? https://youtube.com/shorts/EpO9gO7Uq1Y?feature=share BTW I don’t normally open my doors like that, just showing the difference between 1 finger opening on rear compared to the fronts 😀

What colour is your car? I rather like it I believe, never seen that as an option hmm

I actually used that on my wife’s Fiat 500 drums, worked a treat if not a little messy. I’m going to go with the brembos and if they do go funky eventually then I’ll hammerite them

If you look at the pads they don’t look flat in places, it’s odd. One of my friends installed the brembos and been fine for no rust for a couple of years so if I can get that I’ll be happy. Rang my local dealer and £156 to install the discs and pads, I thought that was expensive so rang a VAG independent and basically same price, madness. But the time I buy a battery maintainer and vcds I’ll still be quids in I suppose

This is the state of mine and how little it actually bites down and pads quite, it’s done around 39k miles. Hub rust is the worst annoyance as it’s so visual

My rear discs and pads need changing as too rusty and pads waffer thin. I'm thinking of getting Brembo discs (300mm) as they have the painted hubs in black, so no more rusting hubs apprantly. I know some people say go Pagid, but are the hubs painted on those? I don't mind going Pagid pads with Brembo discs if it's really worth it, or shall I go to Brembo discs and Brembo pads? Niggling bit in my brain is I know VAG use Pagid for certain things (normally suspension parts) but if they were to use Pagid then I'll be in the same situation in a few years time with crap brake parts again, having said that there was a revision from 2016 discs and pads so OE is probably better these days, but I very much doubt they have painted hubs either

I was looking at the Skoda accessories brochure, which is here https://www.skoda.co.uk/_doc/08dde6bc-3689-47b7-a965-d3d059ee90c7 On Page 5&6 it has the alloy wheel collection and next to Orion & Triton it has a snow logo, indicating winter alloys, but surely if people wanted a cheap set brand new OEM you'd go for Stratos as it's £191 per wheel compared to £199 for Orion and £215 for Triton ? I know for winter tyres you want as narrow tyres as possible, so 215 is ideal (not sure why people put fat tyres on as thats the worst possible thing to do!), but what I can't remember is, do you need the spokes to be as big as possible (Orion & Triton) so snow doesn't form inside the wheel, or is it the other way round? can't remember 😞

Excellent, I believe the maps are updated twice a year if you want to keep as updated as possible. I only ever done it twice in my 4 year ownership but will be doing it annually from now on. I’m happy it’s free though as I know Audi you have to pay which is dirty, not sure about VW though
