Passive TPMS only (pressure loss determined by ABS sensors, not direct measurement of pressure) on the Superb. Bit of a let-down on a supposedly top-of-the-range car, really.

Little-known fact - "Skoda" is Czech for "rattle". The trim build quality (along with the software) is the big thing which lets down what should be a great car. I've had mine a year, and I'm still chasing rattles and buzzes in the trim and plastics.

Any Youtube video which starts with that patronising "wagging finger" gesture gets stopped instantly! 🤣

Two cracked screens in half a million miles is not bad odds, really. Just so happens that they both occured within six months. "Them's the breaks..."

Those instructions appear to be for AC (air conditioning). The OP's issue is with ACC (adaptive cruise control)...

The same stupid 'gutter' arrangement exists on my Belatrix wheels too. Following with interest!

There was a software update recall campaign (90EE) which heavily featured radar and ACC functionality among other things - if you haven't had that addressed, it might be worth asking the dealer about it to see if it makes a difference.

The first question has to be - does this still happen when you have the key in the front with you? Either in a pocket, or in the centre-console cupholder which has the key logo on the base of it?

As far as I can tell, it's a combination of sign recognition via the front-facing camera, and map data. The sign recognition seems pretty reliable. The map data, though, is of wildly variable quality - in some areas near me (northeast Wales), the data is wrong more than it's right. And unfortunately, when there's a discrepancy between what the car 'sees' and the data it's pulling from the onboard maps, it seems to give preference to the map data a lot of the time, so the correctly-detected limits from roadside signage are overridden by the incorrect speed limit data from the map.

2L diesel in a 4x4 L&K.... since I've owned it (almost exactly a year), average is 48.92mpg across all the fill-ups in that time. Best tank-full was 57.21mpg (mainly motorway miles), worst was 41.35mpg (almost exclusively stop-start local journeys). Common issues? Well, a trawl through this section of the forum will reveal most of them. Mainly software related...

As you predicted - reply from Parts In Motion saying that they'll refund for the A335H, and to not bother sending it back. Can't argue with that!

A384H blade (Bosch part no. 33970160F2) fitted to rear wiper - sweeps the window perfectly. Parts In Motion are advising incorrectly on their website - they say the A335H is the right blade (it has the right fitting, but is shorter than the replacement) ; and they advise that the A384H is not the correct part (Bosch say otherwise, and it works perfectly when fitted). I've asked them to initiate a return for the A335H, with them paying the postage seeing as it was bought based on incorrect advice given by them...

Nope, diesel 4x4. Don't know which version I'm now on - not near the car to look - but it updated a couple of days ago which is when the new and unwanted ACC behaviour began.

Looks like there's been an OTA software update of some sort in the last couple of days. I noticed the behaviour of my ACC changed, and it started responding to the detected speed limits. Luckily, there's an option to turn that off (go into the Driver Assitance menu, go to ACC, and turn off Speed Limit Response) - the 'off' setting of which persists through a shutdown and restart. The main reason I pretty quickly turned off Travel Assist when I first got the car is that the speed limit data on the in-built mapping is so woefully bad, and so keen to override what the car is actually 'seeing' on roadside signage, that it's almost dangerous. Around my part of the UK, at least, the mapped speed limit data is dreadful - to the extent that, if Travel Assist had its way, there are locations where the car would think a limit had dropped from 60 to 40, or 50 to 30 (or even 20) and would slam the anchors on in response even though the actual limit was nowhere near what the map data thinks it is. Borderline dangerous, if someone's driving too close behind.

Just had a response to the e-mail I sent to Bosch (asking why they appeared to make a blade which is too long, and a blade which is too short, but not one which is just right - maybe they read Goldilocks too often as kids!). Their response - "We also make a A384H blade, which is a few mil longer than the original fit but pretty much the right length". So I've ordered one of those from PartsInMotion too, to see what the fit is like. If it's a better replacement than the A335H, they'll be getting a request for a return of that one, with postage at their own cost on the basis that the advice given by the 'fit checker' on their website is wrong.
