New battery - lots of warning lights!

Take it for a drive and they should all disappear. -
What fuel consumption are you getting please.

MPG update since i bought the car. In the last 5 months I am averaging 47-50 mpg on a mixture of rural and dual carriageways. Motorway runs which I do every few months or so give much better mileage figures at or near to the speed limits. Not too bad a t all and for I do find it so much quieter than the Mk2 2.0 tdi 170 I previously had. -
I had a steering rack issue just a week or so ago. No noise or warning but whilst driving the display showed a red steering wheel and loss of power assistance. It was very heavy to steer just a few miles home. Independent VW/Skoda specialist had a look and found the steering rack had failed. Cost to replace about £2000. Fortunately the car was under warranty from where I had bought it from so they picked up the bill. For an item that had covered just over 50,000 miles and should last a long time, not impressed. Was it the state of our roads or bad luck? Either way, its fixed and I'm not out of pocket. Find a garage you trust and they will sort it.

Just to update everybody as to what has been going on. Tried out the diesel versions, 150 and 190 bhp and have bought a L+K 150 DSG version. Not at all disappointed with its pulling power and the 150 seemed quieter. Thank you everybody for your help. -

Thank you very much people for your thoughts. Shall have to try out a 150 bhp and 190bhp model. My Superb mk2 170 tdi averages 45mpg. Lots to mull over. -

Been driving a 170 bhp diesel Superb for about 7 years now , so wouldn't want a lower horsed engine through choice. Trying to see the difference between the two fuels. -

Thank you chaps for the feedback so far. -
Success. Checked the fuses and no issue with those, but removing them must have been a Ctrl Alt Delete sort of action as its now working again. Thank goodness for that. Hurrah!!

Used the car the day before and all fine. Came to start this morning and no start up screen on the Colombus unit 5510. Everything else seems fine except for no radio. Strange? Off to check the fuses but any ideas would be much appreciated.

True, but some users may not have the V17 maps. Other ways around it by swapping out units or a standalone TomTom, Garmin or whatever. Technology moves on.

I have used an araldite type of glue and whilst it sets, have taped over the badge to keep it nice and tight to the car. Worked for me.

Help sourcing a wheel speed sensor.

Autodoc perhaps. Based in Germany but you can have parts sent quickly from them. Any decent Autofactors where you live perhaps? -
New Owner with Questions.....
Coled replied to GrayedoutUK's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Use the search function on the forum to find some answers. sounds harsh but that is what forums are for, searching for answers. Sat nav easily done via CD player. Again, lots of answers. Enjoy your motor and welcome to the forum. -
Google for the GPS power forum. There you will find navigation and speed camera updates for VW/Skoda/Audi etc.

Help! My EPC (Emissions) or CEL (Check Engine Lamp) is on.
Coled replied to cjb's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
I had this come up. Turned out to be Glow plug no 3 open circuit and the Throttle pedal assembly. All fixed and no stupid emissions warnings.
