Hi all, Recently I've been noticing that sometimes when I turn the engine off, I am presented with a short but powerful vibration (coming from the engine bay). I do not hear any rattle or anything really, but it gives the car a good shake that can be easily felt. Unfortunately the issue is quite sporadic: sometimes does it for a week, then skips it for a week or two. As luck would have it, when I had my mechanic take a look at it it was good as new... The car is a 2013 estate with DSG and the 2.0CRDI engine, 270k kms. Any ideas? PS: slightly off topic, but I don't really want to open a thread just for this. I'm considering replacing my trusty old superb, but it really has no significant issues that would make the change worth it. What issues can I reasonably expect in the say, next 50k kms according to your experience? Thanks a lot as always!

Thanks, solved!

Hey everyone, I know this problem has been covered on the forum previously, but I couldn't find the solution. With my summer tires, all was well. However after changing them to the winter tires (which are on a separate wheel set) I can't seem to reset the TPMS. The warning light is on, and even though I press the set button, nothing happens. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks, it's good to know! I'll ask them again for the complete history.

Thank you, I actually found an older android phone of mine so no worries there Yes I believe the DPF is working properly right now. I just bought the car, it could even be possible that the DPF has been replaced or cleaned by the previous owner. It was a fleet car, so was pretty well maintained. I asked the local Skoda dealership for the service history - unfortunately they are not allowed to print it out for me, but told me that for example the timing belt has been replaced at 210k kms and the dsg oil has been changed every 60k kms as well. I forgot to ask about the dpf though - I might go back and ask whether it's been replaced. Thank you very much for your help! Really appreciate it.

Thank you for your input. I guess I shouldn't worry about it as much.

Thank you for your thorough answer! When I notice that I had to abort a regen (I. E. The fan is spinning after turning off),but I can't drive just then (when I get to work for example), I usually take a 20 km drive in the evening on country roads in 'S' mode, maintaining a rev of 2000-2500 rpm. Is that sufficient? I'll buy a Carista soon, but unfortunately I'm on iOS where VAG DPF app is not available.

Hey guys! I've got a 2013 Superb 2.0crdi. It's got 240k kms. One thing I noticed yesterday is that after turning off the engine, the fan stayed on. Now as far as I understand, this means DPF active regen. However, this week I only used the car for about 500 km on highways (no city driving etc). Did it not regenerate (passively) during those approx. 5 hours I spent on the highway? Why would it start active regen after a fairly short ride (approx 20 kms) when it had a lot of better opportunities? Or is my DPF going to need replacement/cleaning?
