New Elroq - Just arrived at Dealers! Tips?
Mine came with Hankook EV specific tyres, mine are 20" wheels definitely no sign of slippage in the wet. Were all the software updates done before the handover? My system worked perfectly from day one with all required updates being done in the dealership.

New Elroq - Just arrived at Dealers! Tips?
Just enjoy it. I did check my tyre pressures when I collected it, they were spot on. I bought a superb from the dealer before and the car prep was exemplary. They're a lovely car I love driving it.

VCDS options on Superb III
My 2021 Superb IV warned me when the key battery was low, I replaced both batteries with Panasonic batteries.

S3 Xenon lamp replacement guide
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.

S3 Xenon lamp replacement guide
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.

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.

Octavia Estate PHEV % read out on Dash giving a False read out
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.

Infotainment gone offline.... Again.
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....

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

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.

DSG Reset (Basic Settings)
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.
