I struggled to find the switch in the dark. I have now read the manual, and have found the switch I need to use. No idea why it was not turned on before, but as the nights are drawing in, I need the lights to work.
-
Does the Superb IV have ceiling mounted interior lights that operate when the door opens? I don’t have a sunroof, but all I see is the footwell lights lighting up, but not the reading lights. Is this normal?
-
I meant wirelessly. I should have been clearer.

My Samsung Galaxy S9 on Android 10 won’t connect. I tried again today, so I may buy the AAwireless gizmo. It is cheaper than a new phone…
-
Thanks, but I am expecting the dealer to replace it for Free. The car has a warranty…
-
Thanks. Looks like one of the tabs is broken. Now secured in place with speed tape until the dealer gets his hands on it. I have only had the car two and a bit months.

Dragging this back up.... One of my lights is loose and can dangle out of the door. I assume this means that the unit needs to be replaced?
-
I found the same info. I will check my paperwork.

I never said there was an issue fitting 17” wheels. I just wanted to know what my options were. 16” wheels opens up more options on the 2nd hand market.
-
I appreciate the help, but as I cannot buy an IV with 16” wheels in France (the options list state the option is not available for the IV), the sticker also shows me I can fit 17”, 18” or 19” wheels, I am pretty sure 16” are not homologated on the IV here in France. The manual is a generic document, and not specific to the IV. It covers all models. Yes, the snow chain section applies to all models, but if I cannot fit 16” wheels to my car, then the information is not of much use. I will of course confirm with the dealer and I will ask if I can fit 16” wheels. I have a good idea what the response will be….
-
Just looked in the obvious place. 16" wheels may fit (although they dot appear as an option on the IV) but they do not appear homologated for use.
-
Yes, but I have seen that 16” wheels cannot be fitted to an IV, so I guess that leaves me with one option… 17” wheels….
-
Not sure 16" will fit. They are not listed as an option for the car. Looks lime it will have to be 215/55R17.

As my car has stupid sized wheels/tyres on it (235/45R19) I understand I cannot fit snow chains. In France the "Loi Montagne" is becoming more widespread, and it happens to affect a few areas I travel to fairly frwquently. So, I have started looking at my options for my Superb Estate IV. I believe that the sizes that will fit the car (and are homologated for use) are: 205 or 215 / 60 R16 in 92 or 95 V rayed tyres on 6.5J x 16 ET41 wheels. 215/55R17 on 6.5J x 17 ET41 or 7Jx17ET40 wheels 235/45R18 on 8J x 18 ET44 wheels. Does anybody know for sure if the 16" wheels fit the IV? I don't see that they willnhave massice calipers due to the regenerative braking. I am tempted to go for the cheapest option, with the biggest sidewall for comfort, but I need to have a look at tyre prices, and what will allow me to fit snow chains. I shall continue my search, and talk to the dealer to see what they have to say.

I get about 45 to 50 mpg on a run, but this is cruising just over 130 kmh (about 80 mph). The car will cut the engine on big downhill sections. I use the route planner, so the car plans when to use the EV mode.
-
My IV switches to electric drive mode when stationary, and the motor stops turning. There will be no wear.
-
No, I have a single tarif. Makes more sense when the home is heated with an air source heat pump. I used to have a Tempo contract, as the wife insisted it was cheaper, until I pointed out to her the mistake. We now have a supplier who is 10% cheaper than EDF.
-
I think mine is Skoda connect related, as I changed the settings yesterday, as I leave home later one day of the week. It seemed to have upset it for some reason.
-
For some reason, my car did not charge overnight. Not worked out why yet, but I keft the house this morning with the battery light in the red. The car is telling me it averaged 5.9l/100km and this is running in hybrid mode for my 20km comnute. If this was a pure EV, I would still be stuck at home waiting for the car to charge. As it is a PHEV, I can type this message from my desk at work.

I agree it is a shame. They were great, right up to the problem, and then they stopped communicating. They immediately blamednthe courier, even though the external packaging was undamaged.
-
Not much....

Where did this mysterious air lock come from? If you have not done any maintenance on the cooling system, then there would have to be a problem to cause an air lock?
-
I will be keeping an eye on this post, as I know there is an update available for my car. Being an IV, I have no SD card slot. I have tried a USB stick in the front port, and it does not seem to work? The online download does not work either.
