Just replaced the window mechanism FDS window, now the release handle is just about at the end of its travel before the door opens. I notice there is a hole under the door catch with a screw, is this for taking up any slack in the operating cable. (please say yes) or have I to strip the door down again Porky

Not sure if I should post this because, like me u may think" somebody's pulling my thingy". I had a similar problem & had different cures suggested average cost about £450 but this 1 was free. here goes--stop start the engine 5 times always worth a £450 try. Tel -
Superb electric drivers seat issue
porky2 replied to superb2500's topic in Skoda Superb Mk I (2001-2008)
I have had the same problem And got tired of disconnecting & rec connecting. Decided to solder every elect. joint on the wiring on the floor pan. Cured the seat problem, intermitent windows wing mirrors cruise control dropping out like a new car took it for mot today everything ok. £7-50 added to the bill to get airbag light re=set. Arrived home " lost" the comp trip info & now have drivers side door indicating open all the time but can live with that. :think: Tel -
Many thanks Gizmo for your reply hopefully I will sort it tomorrow and then book it in for m.o.t.! Thanks again Tel

I have a problem with my seat belt light staying on. but without the chime. Looking at other posts, but not my model, it mentions a blue plug underneath the seat may be the 1 feeding the sensor on the seat belt stork. anyone know if this would apply to the Mk1 and how would I test it out? Thanks Tel

Thanks all for your replies We have an 06 superb with about 19000mls on, a 08 M/H with 8000 ml on & the 62 Go ( replacing a 99 Octy} 7000mls but I don,t think avviva do m/h but will give them a try.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query regarding reversing light upgrades & my apologies for the tardiness in replying. Just returned from the NY celebrations in Preston & Bowness-On-Solway. I am pleased to report the problem has been solved by swmbo herself who stated she could not see the writing on road signs & would have to get so spectacles, the stupid bitch. I can say this without fear, - because she doesn,t look at my messages thanks again Tel

My battery does not appear to be charging. As the car is 6yrs old I assumed it must be the battery & replaced it - no difference. No warning lights on dash so thinking possible belt adjustment. How do I do this? Tel Oh almost forgot where abouts is it!!!!

Hi My 2.5v6 has just cut out on my way to get filled up (fuel warning lightcame on) Have tried to restart it no go but big red "oil can" has popped up on the display. Have checked the engine oil & thats ok, would this light appear anyway after cranking the engine without it firing up. Any suggestions please Tel
-
I have read that the drivers seat has a auto cut out which resets itself. Could this be the answer as to why mine doesn,t work & where is it located? The passenger side is O.K Tel

I have recently replaced the battery on the 06 2.5 Superb thinking after 6 yrs it might be responsible for flat battery problems. It still happens,so I would like to check my alternator drive belt & output if possible & probably look for something like the boot light staying on. Where abouts is the alternator & how do u get to it. (what word comes to mind!) Thanks Tel

In the engine bulkhead, on the RHS of the servo unit 2 pipes disappear downwards, like the water drain hole, next to them. The grommets for these pipes are missing & I wondered if water could get into the interior or or would it just finish up outside? Tel

Bingo fuse 15 did the trick. U have no idea how pleasedI am for your help in sorting this SWMBO was threatning me with a NEW LIME GREEN Hyundi. Had a few drinks to celebrate nipping that in the bud! Thanks once again for your help Tel

Yes had all the joints were checked by the local electronics engineer who recognised it straight away as being Skoda.Ithen bought a used cluster which then needed setting up to the ecu. & when I asked Skoda the cost it was going to be more than the cars worth so tomorrow is D Day when I try this fuse Thanks Again Tel
-
I have still problems with my inst. cluster. Have had the soldered joints checked at my local electronics shop - no different. Does work occasionally but only for a few seconds. When I had trouble with a leaking rad it would work sometimes ok for the full time of a journey or journeys. Now the leak is sorted (after the 3rd rad) it very rarely works only for a few seconds. I did read that u could try removing a fuse but I have searched the forums without success. must get it sorted asap as its due for mot shortly Can anyone help Tel

Because of the usual roblems with water ingress I am trying to remove the drivers seat. Got the bolts undone ect but having trouble uncliping the plugs for the electrics. Do u have to remove the bracket they are mounted on or am not attacking the clip re-lease "thingies" whichever they are-don,t want to break them Thanks Tel
