  1. Guys, Varooom, sorted. I had no idea that one had to enter all 4 clusters of 4 numbers and was choosing only one cluster offered by the screen between the instruments. The telephone linked immediately but the telephone wasn't considered to be a media player until I rebooted it whereupon the Bluetooth symbol on the Columbus suddenly came alive. My telephone kept asking me to enter either 1111 or 1234. Bloody confusing.
  2. Having removed my Bluetooth unit in the belief that it has died (it is a 3C8 035 730 B Novero made in Germany) can I replace it with a 'C' or 'D' as I find a few on eBay? Can I take my removed original somewhere in E. Sussex to have it tested? Cosmo J
  3. Decided that OBD Eleven is the best option for me provided that it will show me the auto gearbox fluid temperature and suspension level sensors: if they are functioning. BUT, is the gearbox fluid temp. monitored to be available to the reader? AND are the suspension/level sensors outputs such that the signal is recognisable/readable by such an OBD?
  4. Thanks. Now removed. Wish hit had a light on it so we could see if it's powered. All fuses checked and unit removed because when it is disconnected the Bluetooth soft key vanishes.
  5. Wow, How does one find and do this? I have just removed the Bluetooth unit under my seat as when it is disconnected the Bluetooth symbol soft key top right hand corner of the Columbus screen vanishes altogether. Reconnecting the unit brings back the now functionless soft key so I removed the unit assuming that it's ****ed.
  6. As an ex Skoda employee perhaps you can tell me what do with the two tabs on the engine compartment fuse box to open it and wjat to do with a screwdriver in the slot to open the interior one? Please.
  7. Bluetooth (2012 Superb 2l estate) soft key Bluetooth button, while present (top right hand side), is no longer green and every time connecting to my telephone when it asks to connect and offers four sets of the same numbers as code it is always rejected. I have no Bluetooth facility anymore. I have rebooted the Columbus twice and have disconnected the under drivers seat unit four times. No change. Ideas? FUSE BOX Thought I'd look at fuses. Rather than destroy both of them trying to gain access what do you do to the two lock tabs on the box under the hood and what do you do with the screwdriver on the passenger side interior plastic cover?

  9. Are we talking under the passenger seat or on the floor under the drivers seat and do you pull the plugs with th e ignition on?
  10. Ah, this is interesting and thank you. I have spent the afternoon researching this and have downloaded Carista, Torque Pro and Car Scanner (as I have Veepeak - which is useless). You rate Carista? I am after finding out if I have a failed suspension level sensor and if I can read the automatic gearbox fluid temperature . Can you, could you see if these are available on your Carista?
  11. I think I have one in the glove box. Not used it. Perhaps I should download a programme/App to see what mine comes up with?
  12. Gentlemen (I think I can exclude woman as there don't appear to be any women), I have read that Gendan is popular and appears to be endorsed by Briskoda. I have found these (T55, https://www.gendan.co.uk/factor.php) and this (VAGT85, https://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VAGT85.html). I note that the 85 while stating that its for 96 - 2004 also EOBD compliant cars (nearly all 2001+ petrol cars and 2004+ diesel cars.* Mine is a 2012 Superb 2l diesel. can I have your feedback as someone who specifically wants to know if one of these level sensors has packed in and the temperature of the auto gearbox fluid. If one of these, and I assume the T55, is good and performs these functions then it seems worthwhile?
  13. Varoom, Yes, clearly I have work to do. Wish I'd brought my ramps with me when I came to England.
  14. Right, tested. Nothing with light switch on off as I always park up and no dance on Auto. No warnings. How would I know which sensor to replace assuming all of them (both: 2?) have intact rods?
