I brought mine to a local garage and they couldn't do it🫣. They were wanting to take the headlights out but were giving me no guarantee I wouldn't have problems with front sensors etc after removing the front bumper, I told them to leave it and I sold the bulbs on FB marketplace.

One trick I've used on other cars was to raise the rear of the car, if working outdoors put a back wheel up on the kerb the bulb will stay in place better while you're making that split second move to grab the eye of the spring clip. I never managed to change mine it was ridiculously difficult so I left the original bulbs in place.

Do you have auto lights?

Well you couldn't make that mistake with any cars I've owned since 2017, a message would appear on the dash, turn on dipped headlights...

One word, Hyundai. Every Hyundai I meet has no lights on, even the local coppers are guilty of this.

I wonder could you have alternate flashing of the DRL and the indicator bulb? I had that on a 2017 FL Octavia and it made the car much more visible as the standard bulb was very difficult to see especially in sunny conditions.

AHH feck, I was delighted when I saw this post, turns out you're in Australia @ 60 odd bucks they aren't cheap either.

I have a Superb iV and with the shocking rise in electricity prices since I bought it I'm strongly considering going back to diesel. Mine is supposed to do 50Km per charge, not a hope in hell. It's summer and I can just about squeeze 40Km out of it, in winter it barely does 25Km. Road noise is dreadful and the heater is non existent. Think I've had it with electric power tbh.

As the title says my car has stopped sending information to the Skoda server and hence to the app on my android phone, no new info on my Ipad either. The little globe on top of the radio is greyed out and info is dated 9/5/23. This happened last December and I was without info for almost 3 weeks. Stupidly I contacted Skoda support and they just made everything worse by sending me instructions for a different head unit and getting me to do things that resulted in me losing all the cars stored data, they hadn't a clue what they were doing tbh. The radio came back online by itself on christmas day without me doing anything. I don't fancy chasing my tail with Skoda again, would anyone here have any suggestions? The car is a March 2021 iV style model with the Columbus head unit. One thing I did notice was the system rebooted by itself around the time it stopped sending info, I didn't take much notice as it goes through phases of rebooting and eventually settles down. The subscription is active until July, guaranteed it will be working when renewal is due....

God this thread is getting boring....

Sorry for being rude would have been a better answer...

Follow your own advice then,get better lights and your eyes tested. You could always get 16" wheels 😏

And never got a puncture? Or hit a pothole? You're a marvelous man indeed... I bow to your superiority 😏 and that superman vision.

That's a pretty nasty post seems to be your style lately. Have you ever done private hire or taxi work?

You could go for 16" alloys from the lower spec model. The amount of passive aggression on this site is shocking, it invades every thread irrespective of what the thread is about.

15's would look terrible on a Superb 16 is the smallest I would put on.

You're a star thank you. The Auxito are expensive especially with the added Brexit tax but definitely worth it.

I was just going to ask what people are using for inside lights as mine are absolutely atrocious, you turn them on and the car actually gets darker inside especially the rear ones. How do you replace them? I couldn't find any obvious place to remove the cover.

Try driving a vintage car with no synchromesh, going up through the gears is easy, coming down is extremely difficult. The internal clutches are trying to do this when you command it to drop from second to first.

If the system allows... The system also assumes some common sense. Anyway I'm unfollowing this thread now, life is too short.

Because 1st gear's function is for moving off from rest on the flat or on a 1in4 gradient and is geared appropriately.

Just use the brakes for the last little bit and leave the box in second, it's not like you're driving an 18 wheeler with a heavy load. You're really doing things to a dsg box that it wasn't designed to be doing. There is a thing called mechanical sympathy.

I know and I can't get him to stop doing it, it's ingrained in his driving. The gearbox is definitely suffering because of it. Learning to drive in a Morris Minor had its advantages!!

I was thinking exactly the same thing. One of my children does that in his manual car and you can hear the gear whining as it's turning at far too high a speed it's designed to do, the driving instructor told me to do it is the answer I get.... It won't be the driving instructor who'll be crawling around the breakers yards looking for a replacement gearbox 😡

I've never seen that happen and I've used Scandinavian mode in all the Skodas I've owned. Did you use a one touch button to activate them, or did you use coding, I'm not familiar with carista I use obdeleven or vcds myself. I leave the switch in auto.
