  1. Your hardware is H11 standard, mine sadly is H10. That must be the difference, mine was built in June 2025
  2. Jay, To be honest, I can’t recommend one from the other. You’re correct in that it’s an AI (I asked to different models and both said the same thing in a slightly different manner). I have in the past had uses of VCDS, that did the very limited stuff easily (wind back to pads for brake pad changes and code for a new battery, day light changes) but that’s just the simple stuff. It might be that ODB 3 is more than you need. I can’t advise either way to be honest.
  3. OK, I would never tell you what to spend your hard earned on. The info I added would I’d have thought might have pointed to the ODB11 3. However, you didn’t see that 👍
  4. Rifleman, That’s very interesting. To be honest whilst I used ACC for the Mway journeys, I didn’t monitor the screen enough to see of this happened to me. No Mway journeys planned foe at least this month. I’ll try torember the next time ‘I hit the M4’ Thank for the very informative post 👍
  5. My info, whist not disagreeing with yous has more info: Carista OBD2: Carista is fully compatible with the OBDLink MX+ hardware. It offers basic code clearing and simple, menu-driven customizations ("customizations" or adaptations). Note: Because your Superb is a late 2025 model, Carista's beta testers network is actively updating compatibility for Mk4 platform elements. [1, 2] The "Gold Standard" Alternative – OBDeleven 3: If your main goal is advanced custom coding, the OBDLink MX+ will face limitations on a 2025 Skoda due to VW's factory SFD2 firewall restrictions. The OBDeleven NextGen device is an officially licensed Volkswagen Group partner that has built-in tokens to automatically unlock SFD protections, making it the preferred tool for modifications and "One-Click Apps" on a June 2025 vehicle. It is AI generated, however it not been asked to make a decision other than show me the best options available today
  6. Well, a nice dry trip both ways. Sadly no change on my screen still only showed One lane on both the m4 and M5 outbound. The return journey was via the A40 and M4 both only showed One lane. My Superb is a June 2025 build and on the older hardware/software. This must be the issue 🤷‍♂️
  7. Allegedly there are only 2 brands authorised by VW group for newer vehicles. There are VCDS OBD11 3 As it’s only their new devices that can change more than the basic settings on cars 2 years old and newer (generalisation here of course ) If your car is new is with the latest software version, you’ll need to cough up the bucks. I’ have been looking at these off and on for 19 months (before I bought the Superb). Still haven’t made the decision (I’m not likely to be fit enough to do stuff myself for a few months yet tbo)
  8. I’m off to Hereford tomorrow afternoon via M4 and M5. Hopefully I’ll get the same sort of result 🤞
  9. My mates mid sized Volvo phev , has the same issues. We drove from East Bristol to Weston Super Mare to see a sick buddy. The car showed about 5 on the way down but only 2 onl the way back
  10. Make your wife the user on 2 keys, you use the 2nd and will have all her privileges 🤞
  11. Possibly a blockage in one of the smaller pipes. Sadly if a couple of longer runs don’t resolve it you may need someone who is an expert in DPF’s most garages and dealerships don’t really have a clue Take a look here, he is good https://youtube.com/@orileysautos?si=yawAXYQ-RRBloGeD Don;t get the idea a quick delete will resolve it. Most likely it won’t
  12. Dave, does some helpful videos on Skoda’s Here is the Superb version, sadly a hybrid buy most thing are the same👍 https://youtu.be/66_FIjo3tUE?si=UJQpPxm4qt8AFkRG
  13. If you’re switching off the motor and the fan still runs for a few minutes, that shows two (possible ) issues. The first and most normal is your turbo is very hot and needs cooling down - just run at tick over for a couple of minutes to safely cool it down. The other and more problematic issue is you’ve switch off when a DPF regen is in progress. This causes 2 (or more?) issues. One the added diesel injected waters down your engine oil. Not by much but if this is happening every day then it will increase over time. The 2nd and one you will notice. On restarting the engine will start a regen again - running at 1,00 rpm instead of about 800 rpm is a good sign. You need to run a longer distance 40km or so on a fast road every 7/10 days this should (provided you DPF is in need of work) resolve your problems. I had this engine in my last Passat Estate, ran it for about 138,000kms before trading it to my Superb. As my work was about 35km on the motorway both ways never had an issue
  14. Sadly, a typo on my behalf. They should work for ACC. As full permissions are required for the camera data to be used 👍
  15. Bobby, As a last straw, I’ve asked the AI that I use occasionally. The results are below, hopefully one of the recommendations will work for you. Some may not be appropriate To reset the AC system on your 2025 Skoda Superb, press and hold the AC button and the front defrost button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Wait until the lights on the buttons flash and you hear the system cycling through the vents, then release them.For the latest 2025 Skoda Superb (which features the new Smart Dials and digital climate controls), you can also reset the system through the infotainment screen or perform a hard reboot if the climate menu is frozen:Climatronic Reset via Infotainment: Tap the Menu button on your central display, go into Settings under the Clima menu, and select Factory Reset or Reset Climatronic settings.Infotainment Hard Reset: If the screen is unresponsive, press and hold the infotainment power button for about 10–12 seconds until the screen goes black and reboots itself.Manual Actuator Calibration: Turn your ignition on without starting the engine, turn the AC to "Auto", and leave it untouched for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the air blend doors and actuators to reset to their default positions.Here is a step-by-step guide to manually calibrating and resetting stuck AC blend doors:0:55VW / Seat / Skoda Climate Control Flap Calibration | AC Reset ...
  16. For the sign recognition to work, you need all the privacy option enabled is my understanding. Go into the settings on the display switch off all options (one tap) switch off for a few minutes switch back on and enable all the privacy options. It should work shortly after 🤞
  17. Are you using the App? I suspect you need it. Also on the display switch off all permissions, then switch off the car )Skoda say for about 10 minutes) users on here say that’s not needed, just give it a minute or two. Switch back on and able ALL permissions and it should be resolved.
  18. As a short term option might be to buy a batter charge/maintainer. This will monitor the battery and top up as required. Not a cheap option sadly These are some of them.I don’t need on for my diesel however see below (the link was very long so I’ve just dropped a phot in
  19. Tap, the vehicle icon top left of your screen. You’ll see on option window, if it’s not the options you need swipe left to right through the screens until you see the one you need. There are a few options you might like to check out 👍
  20. That’s interesting, I normally hold the wheel at 20 past/too. The next time I’m running cruise control, I’ll see if that makes any difference. Making the micro adjustments work, however my hold if quite firm and I find it very annoying to say the least.
  21. I’ve the same issue, to be honest it’s so time consuming that now I try to get the cleaner spray in the “gutter” all the way around, then just pressure wash it out a few times until the water in the bottom is clear. It so stupid, it must be a strengthening design enabling a light wheel and less materiel = cheaper to build.
  22. Last weekend we drove from Bristol to South Manchester for a few days with my Sister. Traveled on the M4, M5 and M6. On the M4 and M5, no ghost limits,great. The M6 from Spaghetti junction to Sandbatch, I had at least 7 ghost limits most at 30mph whilst in 60mph limit. A couple of 50 mph in normal 70mph stretches. There hasn’t been a roadwork in these areas for a few months. On the South bound journey I had 1 ghost 60mph in a 70 stretch.
  23. My Superb is now 7 months old. Initially I had this issue. Washed the screen (outside) 6/7 times over 10 minutes, cleaned the blades with the same cleaner a few times - issue has never reoccured. Bosch Blades are better, I have a set waiting for the day there are needed
  24. I occasionally get that message, however, on straight sections of the motorway I get repeated messages to “take control of the street wheel, this is despite having both hands firmly on the wheel, it just no input needed, I Mike micro adjustments to resolve this. It drives me potty
