[SOLD - *** 16" OEM Steel Wheels and Winter Tyres Octavia II - NOW SOLD]

Hi, do you know if these would be suitable for a 2011 superb (thinking the superb is a bit heavier than an octavia) , and would you consider couriering them to Aberdeen?

Cheers

[Columbus dead - fuses]

No, it's got the microphone icon. Car is from Jan 2011 

[Columbus dead - fuses]

Hi thanks for that. I've managed to remove the Columbus unit and have changed the 20amp fuse in the rear of the unit, have connected everything back up and its still dead. And now I have an airbag error warning light, although I refitted the passenger bag light part.

 

What are the options now? Try to get the Columbus repaired or look into an aftermarket replacement? The fear of getting the Columbus fixed would be that it breaks again, but I do like all the car compatibility. The advantage of a different unit would be a dab radio, but loosing features like the rear parking sensor graphics. Cost is a consideration too.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Scott

Hi rusty, not sure that last post worked!

Thanks

[Columbus dead - fuses]

Hi thanks for the reply. What's the easiest way to pull out the connectors? Is it the black clamp thing? 

Thanks

[Columbus dead - fuses]

Hi, my Columbus head unit is dead, I can't get it to switch on, doesn't seem like it's getting any power. I've checked the fuse in the engine bay (f9) I think which was fine. I'm now trying to check the fuse that is on the rear or the Columbus unit, but can't seem to locate it. Can anyone help, I don't want to pull out the connectors unnecessarily.

Thanks

[65mm centre caps?]

Ok will try that, thanks

 

[65mm centre caps?]

Hi

Getting ready to fit some 17" passat monte carlo alloys to my superb 2 later in the year. They don't currently have centre caps, and I realise that the oem vw caps are 65mm wide. I don't think you can get skoda badged centre caps as big as that. Any ideas / recommendations on a 65mm centre cap that will suit the superb?

Cheers

[Passat monte carlo alloys on a Superb 2]

Hi, not sure what I'm doing with the themisto's yet, but they've been refurbished twice, so wouldn't match original 'diamond cut' wheels.

[Passat monte carlo alloys on a Superb 2]

Hello, just bought a bargain set of Monte Carlo alloys from a 2010 Passat for my superb 2. They're 17x7.5. Hopefully they'll give a better ride than my current themisto's! Has anyone anyone else run monte carlo s on a Superb? Any pics? They were on passat sports I think - the five spoke design.  

Cheers

[Superb front brake binding]

Thanks for the advice guys. Useful points made regards the disc possibly being warped by the caliper, I hadn't thought of that. I'm being guided by the garage who confirm that there's no problem. I'll keep a look out for any steering wheel wobble. Although the discs are getting hot, I'm getting 50+mpg on the trip computer out of town, so maybe it is ok.

Cheers

[Superb front brake binding]

Thanks for the advice guys. Update is that the garage checked the car this week, took it for a long test drive, and couldn't find any problems at all. I still think the disc on the new caliper is hotter than the rest, but the car is driving better- pulling smoothly. Maybe it's just the new caliper bedding in? 

Cheers

[Superb front brake binding]

Ok, cheers John. I'll ask the garage to check the hoses, don't think it's a wheel bearing as that would be noisy too?

[Superb front brake binding]

Hi

I'm having an on going problem with the brakes on my superb. Pads and discs were all replaced 6 months ago, then cleaned up again in November. Two weeks ago the front caliper, drivers side started binding, mpg dropped and the disc was very hot. Garage had a look at it, pushed back the piston and thought it would be ok. Problem still there, so the garage fitted a new caliper last week. Was ok for a day then problem back again, very hot disc. The other three brakes seem fine. Does this suggest a more serious brake problem such as the master cylinder?

 

The car is a 2011 4x4, 85,000 miles.

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

[00588 airbag error]

I had an airbag fault code, it turned out to be a worn connection in the driver's door wiring loom. Fixed with a replacement loom.

[Leak under driver's door]

Ok, thanks. So there are drain holes in the bottom of the door then?

Sorry, couldn't get the photo to attach. Hopefully you get the idea though.

[Leak under driver's door]

Hi my car has developed an unusual leak recently. During heavy rain, and when the car is parked on the drive at an angle (the driver's door being on the 'higher' side), water seems to be getting under the rubber seal along the bottom of the door, running over the sill and forming a puddle on the mat. The door has been stripped down twice in the last year (wiring loom then window regulator). I wonder if a drain hole in the door is blocked or the sealing strip is not sitting right?

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

[Door trim part number?]

Great, thanks for that.

[Door trim part number?]

Hi does anyone know the part number for the plastic trim in the driver's door that holds the window switches etc. Just the 'frame' bit. Mine is loose, the door having been stripped down twice now. Thanks in advance.

[New here and new to Aberdeen]

Hi sorry for late reply. I'm in Aberdeen and always use the Albyn Garage. Very trustworthy. 01224 581164. They know their way around a VAG car.

[Drivers seat movement and rear facing child seat]

Ah, ok, I've learned something new then - didn't appreciate that's how it worked.

[Drivers seat movement and rear facing child seat]

Hi, what car do you have, an 02 octy? This is posted in the superb 2 forum. The electric seats on my superb 2 only move when the preset buttons are pressed, not when the door is opened.

Good luck.

[Name one thing that annoys you....]

If you go into the SMS option on the Columbus your message should still be there when connected via bluetooth ... If you go to the SMS option you can download the message to your phone... Not sure if this can be done automatically..
