Hi all, I use Android Auto each time I drive, mainly listening to Audiobooks. Probably about 80% of the time, once I've pressed 'Play', I have to turn the car volume up as it has reset to zero. Does anyone know why this keeps happening? Thanks.

Hi all, my 'check engine' light came on this morning with no errors. I dug out an old ODBII Bluetooth adapter and read the code as follows - P0684 [0x0684] Glow plug control module to ECM/PCM communication error - range/performance problem Status: Confirmed 04976 [0x001370] P068400: Glow Plug Control Module to PCM Comm.Circuit Range/Performance Status bits: 1 Priority: 2 Frequency: 1 Unlearning index: 255 Odometer: 213718 km Date, time: 2024.09.24 06:59:43 Engine RPM: 804 rpm Calculated engine load value: 88.63 % Vehicle speed: 0 mph Engine coolant temperature: 14 ℃ Engine oil temperature: 14 ℃ Barometric pressure: 14.358736062693 psi Klemme 30 voltage: 11 Paramteric values: 20 96 28 13 BB 82 94 11 89 00 11 1F 00 11 12 BD 00 B0 16 44 02 EE 16 45 00 EF 16 25 0B 2D Status: Test failed, Test failed (current drive cycle), Pending, Confirmed, Test failed since last DTC clear, Warning indicator requested I'm really not confident with an engine or checking currents and such, but reading the first post, I wonder if I should just reset everything and see if the error comes back? Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

It's not uncommon, a lot of wireless chargers have fans built-in because of this. I'm assuming yours doesn't?

Sorry, I'm a little confused. It's global yes, but I've got G13 in at the moment I assume, so no?

Can I please piggy back on the back of this thread. I started my car a couple of days ago and the warning came on for low coolant. I started for the return journey and it didn't come on... I think the difference being, the first time I was on a slope. Anyway, I searched Amazon for G13 Coolant, which has just come and I realise it's actually G30. Great. Does this particularly matter? I should also probably just go and have a look at the coolant level... but thought I'd ask if I should just use this G30 if it was low, or try and send it back and get G13? Thanks!

I found this thread as I was looking to see how I simply save my seat setting. I'm sure I've tried holding set, then pressing the number, but maybe I didn't hold set for long enough? I'm now interested in this 'different settings for different keys' thing. If the manual is poor, is there a simple guide somewhere on the net? Thanks.

I'm interested in the boot liner. I'm down in London though... 😞 It would probably cost as much to post as it would for the liner...

Interesting. I'm looking to replace mine due to the noise. Would the same wiper fit a 2018 Estate? Thanks

Have you tried a new cable?

Well not too hard... but I did give it some, as you said I couldn't' break it 😜

After taking some other advice and watching a YouTube video I have managed to align the door by adjusting the bottom hinge. It's pretty much perfect now. Dropping the car in later to have the dents sorted, £450 +VAT, so not too bad I think.

Thanks, I might need to wait until it goes in for some other work as I'm not good with electrics. Mind you, I think these do a good job of shutting themselves down when the car isn't moving, so maybe they're okay. I would rather have them hard-wired though...

Thanks, I went at it pretty hard and got it to move in a little closer for my 4 hour drive home, so it helped. Got one quote from a place in Broxbourne for £450. I'm also being recommended a place just down the road from me in Barnet, so will check them out tomorrow.

Thanks, and this is what I keep telling my mum. I don't think either of us slept too well. I feel bad that she feels bad, but these things happen and are fixable, so let's not stress too much about them!

I've now been able to look at it in better light... I was really worried the whole door was misaligned, but I think it's basically that the impact has bent the whole door in a concave way. I know that sounds bad, but I was really worried the chassis had been bent in some way, so the door didn't align properly. So far I've been recommended Brian L Shilton in Epping and Rich Body Car in Broxbourne. I've emailed both for quotes.

I'm a little confused tbh. Obviously I don't want my mum stressing about this, but at the same time it's my new car, I'm rather upset it's damaged already. Maybe if I had a secure job I'd just get it fixed myself, but I'm being made redundant next year and ever penny counts at the moment. (This is the reason I changed cars, getting something sensible that I can afford to run) Surely if the door or more importantly the frame/chassis around the door is bent out of alignment it could be quite a problem? You would really just try and bend the door on its hinges back into alignment and not think anything more of it? I'm not even sure how I would do that?

I'm staying with my mother for a few days and unfortunately she's reversed into my new pride and joy, my 2018 Skoda Superb where the front wing meets the drivers door. There is a small dent but it's enough to move the alignment and the top of the door actually sticks out slightly. Obviously, she's going to pay for the repair. Now I'm torn between having it done by someone very good, but also getting it done as cheap as possible. I've not really had to do this kind of thing before (I think it's almost 30 years since my last car damage) so I'm looking for any advice? Does anyone know someone good in North London? Should I just go to Skoda? If it matters I think the car colour is quite unique? (Petrol Blue?)

I'm staying with my mother for a few days, in Shropshire and thanks to my new Superb, I've brought my bike with me. I smashed out a 56 mile ride this morning, including a trophy (I think I only have 1 or 2 of these previously) for a second best on a segment out of 3,600 people! So quite pleased with that.

HI all, I have two DDPai dashcams fitted to my Skoda Superb III. Previously the cig sockets in my last car were wired through the ignition, but these are always on. The DDPai's have parking mode, which it says they go into after 15 minutes of not moving. Can anyone tell me how much in danger I am of flattening a the car battery? I seem to remember someone saying it would take a good week or two of not driving to do this? Thanks 😀

Okay, thanks 👍

Hi, I came out to my Superb this morning and when I got in I noticed the trip info was still showing on the dash l. I drove to work, got out and locked the car and could see the trip info was still showing. I didn't wait for long as it's raining hard, but I don't remember it doing this before? (I've only had it a week) Is it normal? Have I changed a setting somewhere? Thanks!

I used my own MicroSD card and it worked fine...

Yes, I would be giving a different answer in the future myself, with the info actually being in a different thread and all 😜 It would be handy if a MOD can maybe edit the link into the first post?

To add in my experience, if it might help anyone - I formatted the MicroSD card to exFat (with huge big partitions, was it 128k even?) I used a SD Card adaptor I started the process and then went off to get my charger and extension cable, assuming it would be fine until I got that set up It took about 10 minutes to set up, by the time I had done so, I sat back in the car and it had finished! Thanks for the help, all seems to be well 👍

And only 41 pages to go through, great... 🤣 **EDIT** Having found I can search the thread, I've found this other thread for anyone else looking. 😀
