Have the dealership give up on trying to solve the issue mate.

thanks root, i booked the car in for that pre paid oil service like i mentioned in another post, I mentioned to them what you told me, the only thing they said was do you want a wash and hoover i asked if its free they said yes and she told me to take the car to them clean inside because of covid i think so i will post on here what my experience was like after next thursday.

So will it need servicing any time soon , I have only had it 7 months and its done 11k in total.

Hi guys what clutch is in mine....2020 150ps 2.0 diesel estate auto.

I suppose you could ring one of those mobile tune up guys they will all have the pad with that software you need or are you in the AA or RAC...if it wont start again ring them and they will do it.

I have bought a RING smart battery charger that has a winter maintenance mode and its compatible with EFB,AGM,lead acid and gel batteries, it gets cracker reviews and it was half the price of the ctek chargers, I will start trying it soon as the weather gets a bit more colder, i've had Ring car products before and they last for years.

try and get a like for like battery Ed, any new battery you buy will need programing anyway or you will knacker up the new one, I have a 20 plate and mine is a EFB exide battery which some days shows a standing charge of 12.2-3v, which is a bit worrying so i took it to a specialist who said its ok, it gets serviced in about 4 weeks i am going to ask the dealer to do a proper test on it.

yes it would andy, mine has been on since may and its still dead quite, but i do windscreen fluid on it now and again to degrees it.

i totally agree i have been servicing my cars for 30 odd years its the only way you can guarantee works been done and most importantly correct, ive allways used the manufacturers top spec oil and a decent filter.

but that is just EFB and the other one but normal 12v batteries are not in a good way when the measure just over 12v, that's my experience in 40 years of driving and buying loads of the buggers.

i never leave it more than 3 days, and when i do get in its always a 40 minute journey. and ive bought a smart charger for the winter.

Thanks for all the help mate, on a side note the car hasn't missed a beat the only thing is the battery is always showing 12.3 or there about volts, so i had it tested by a battery specialist and he said its showing normal even though i know a decent battery wants to be around 12.6 ish volts, so i was going to try and get a new one off them even if i have to pay towards it these EFB batteries are around 400 quid.

Thanks for this info, so i wont need the extended scope till next year then is that what you are saying, but just an oil change for this service?

yes it was a koda approved finance service plan, and it included 1 x oil service change and 1 x oil and inspection scope what ever that is, that last service was on 23/12/2020....i have the print out of RRG bolton,and the warranty runs out on 12/03/23, I haven't rang them yet i have a good few weeks before its due, so will they just do my free one and not badger me for anything else or will that all start when it come up to 3 years?

hi root you seem to know this subject inside out, my cars only a 1.5 years old so what will the dealership want to try and charge me for with my up and coming service, i have paid in advance for 2 oil changes and it has had a dealership oil change last year, and its only done 11k i have retired so i dont do high miles, do you have to get some of those items done that you mention so to keep the warranty all legit.

ok i thought you were going to say a few years ago because its defo gone down hill since it opened, but its only down the road so i might go down there and have a look around.

how long ago was that mate?

Roller its a 20 plate superb estate so i will have to use a skoda dealer as i have paid for 2 oil changes when i bought it last year, After that i will be doing the servicing myself at least i know it will be done right, there is a mot type garage over the road from me where all the lads go to and i know them very well but as i have said i have paid already.

my service is due soon which is already paid for but i want the job doing probably i am in liverpool but i dont mind traveling an hour to get a top job by experienced tecs, alex lawrie which is around the corner gets a fair bit of stick from people....i was looking at mitchells chester...any help would be sound.

my first service is due in 5-6 weeks, i live around the corner from lawrie can you not turn up and go to the desk and book it in, and do anyone know a better dealer within 1 hour from here that hasn't. got a bad rep for servicing

you have a point

hi what is the name of those wheels mate, think they look better than vega's

hi ste...i paid £140 for 2 services when i bought my superb on a 20 plate last year and my first service will be in about 6 weeks, then after the last one next year i am going to do them myself the superb is a piece of **** to do servicing on, i changed my pollen filter in the summer took all of 3 minutes and cost £6 from the local motor factors

hi there is a set on Ebay he wants £890 i think and £100 post....i might make a silly offer see if he will sell them.you never know.

hi mate what name are those wheels, there not vega are they?
