Well I wouldn't have thought of that, and I guess the main dealer didn't either........🤦 At least I've know I've done it correct with the TRW's that I fitted

Did the front pads on my Dec 2019 superb yesterday. Uneven wear due to incorrect pads which in turn led to incorrect fitment. Pictures below. You can see the uneven wear, The circular cut out should be on the inboard pad at the top. Mine were fitted inboard at the bottom leading to the pads wearing at the top too quickly leading to uneven wear. Lucky I caught it as the sensor wire was only just touching the insulation. Now, it was impossible for the pads to be fitted correctly due to one sensor wire on the driver side. Genuine VW pads. Was the brake back shim fitted wrong from the factory or are they fit left hand drive? I have history so know it was a main dealer that did it before I bought the car.

Yeah, not the best roads for fuel economy, have to have a good run keeping it around the 2000 revs mark. The least stops the better....lol Mine usually averages around 65 to 68 which is mostly long runs.

I forgot this one...lol

Being a long distance taxi I actually try and increase my MPG. I've had 80mpg since refuel and 71mpg long term average. 2.0 TDI 6 speed manual. DSRA engine with 00/20 oil. Not a hybrid.

Thanks, I did it yesterday, easy job to remove and replace the wishbone, The bush was a bit tricky, even with a press, the arm isn't flat and I didn't have a socket(or similar) the right size to go under the arm. So it was difficult to start it off straight. All done now with a bit of persuasion. Lol 👍👍

I'm very au fait with bushes on defenders and discoveries so I should be alright but I'm guessing a press will make it easier? I have access to one but I need to organise it. That was list price, I actually got a febi for £10 so should be good, I believe Febi are okay, I can't believe it has gone, I have old volvos that never have that problem? Out of interest? Will I need any spline sockets to get the arm off or are they just hex or bi hex? Thanks 👍

Had a strange noise on mine for two years, found it yesterday and now found this post. It's a press needed to change the bush only? I don't really want to replace the whole arm. Get a Delphi bush for about £30.

I forgot, it's a 69 plate superb estate dated January 2020, it's a 2.0 TDI SE technology. No engine light.

Hi, just plugged in and retrieved the following report using a neighbours tool. Would like to understand then please as the same code appears in the brake section as well as other sections. I think that maybe it could be one fault cause a few. Please ignore the air sensor and door mirror switch codes. I know about them. I did sit for about 3 hours with the ignition. On and off to check time and clear screen. Maybe battery went a bit low causing these. I have cleared them and will check again in a day or two All help appreciated

Then we think each other is wrong. I'm not scared of change, the sliced loaf was an amazing invention! Seriously though. It's all about how you perceived the situation. Of you drove a 1963 VW Beetle on a 6v battery you would really, and I mean really know what bad head lights are like. Thankfully, change had happened and I welcome it. First it was halogen. Brilliant! Trouble is it's now going the other way. Where do you do with your own safety and start thinking about others safety around you? Statistics show there are 280 crashes in the UK due to dazzling headlights and 6 of those a year are fatal. Hence why the AA is trying to get the government to do something. There is no way that fog lights make you see further. They only illuminate a few metres immediately in front of the car. You should be looking at the road way ahead of that. They are designed to keep the light low so that light will not reflect of the water droplets of fog and dazzle self. They are inherently brighter that normal lights. Just like rear fog lights. Visibility to be less than 100m. The clue is in the name FOG light Here's the law Rule 226 You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236). Government collision statistics shows that since 2013, there has been an average of 280 collisions a year where dazzling headlights were a contributory factor. Of these, six a year involved someone losing their life.10 Jan 2024 So, to every one. save your money on a fine and points on your licence turn the fog lights off and stop being hell bent on brighter lights. The cars these days are more than bright enough. I don't even use full beam these days they are that good. On a side note, I one followed a cat that hit a parked cars door that was open. It was night time and the parked cars lights were on. Poor person in front could not see around the car due to the bright lights on. yes, it's the moving cars fault but it wouldn't have happened if lights were not as bright. automatic full beam. What a joke. I see that it first dip until it actually sees the oncoming lights. If I used my full beam they would be dipped before as humans can see the light around the corner. That brings me to another point. Lights are so bright now that sometimes people can't see the lights around the corner to dip early. I won't talk about the knight rider indicators. 😂🤣 No personal insult is intended. It's just my opinion. safe driving everyone xx Love it 😁👍

I would have loved to have done the water pump but being a taxi I had a job the following day from Dover to Redcar and it just needed to be done so I did what I could. I bought the laser kit for the job a few months ago. I found it for £80 on internet. Your one looks like a good deal! As far as waterpumps go now the actual one my car requires I feel is expensive and not a lot of choice. My engine has only been made since 2019 so it's still relatively new. Skoda want £180 + vat for one. 05L121011C Local places wanted more for first line and such. As the pump really feels in good shape I took a chance. Now I've done the job once I will do it quicker next time so not a major issue. If I was paying a garage I'd want the pump at the same time I used INA. Part of Shaffler.

God, what next, we are losing the ability to do stuff ourselves and use our own brains. lights are way to bright now, and I really hate people with front fog lights on when it's not foggy. It's actually illegal and classed as misuse of lights, fine and 3 points if your unlucky. Rear number plate lights being changed to led. They are too bright and don't light up the plate. They just reflect white light off the plate or body paint. That again can be an MOT failure for white light on the rear of your car. Some cars the lights on the front and back can be so bright you can't see the indicator straight away. I've been driving 30 years and never needed fog lights coming on to go round a corner. What a load of sales gimmickry. What is this world coming to. Sorry ... Rant over.... 😕

Yes! Silly me. You are spot on! I hate predictive text. You get used to it doing it without checking it....😕
