Whilst it sounds like a wheel bearing, if it's not changing pitch as you load each side of the car when steerinf, then I reckon it's the undertray or something loose underneath reverberating at motorway speeds. Certainly sounds awful

Hi - I used Jewsons in Oxford. Straight away when I took it there and explained I could here a relay click when I pressed the button, the service manager mentioned large resistors. They had it for an hour, when I went back it was fixed
-
Why's it in the wrong door? By the time I've gone round to that side of the car to get it out I'm soaked............should be on the same side as the driver!

Map upgrade disc doesn't allow for 7 digit postcodes in all cases. I've a Dec 08 car and it didn't work, needs a firmware upgrade I think

Hello All - hope you're well
My love affair with iOS devices is coming to an end after over five years (takes cover).......... I've retired the iPhone5 and am putting a Nexus4 through it's paces as my sole mobile device
Anyone running Android Jellybean 4.2.2 is likely to hit some weird problems getting the phone book to download via bluetooth to the car. I think I've got it working, but needs more testing. Anyway - this link may be of great use to anybody running into this issue

I've never owned a diesel that hasn't done this. They all just chug forward at tick over
Useful in stop start motorway jams

Behind all the plastics covering the twin door mechanism. I didn't take it off, left it to the dealer. They can test the element easily, but they don't fail these days
If you get the relay type click on pressing the button then it'll be a resistor I believe

The point of 18 inch wheels on the Superb2 is to prevent it taking on the side profile of a skateboard :-)
Seriously - no issues with the ride, noise or comfort. It's all very refined, 18 inch rubber is commonplace and you can haggle with tyre dealers anyway if price is an issue

I've had both, and at first I thought the CR170 was gutless - especially as I'd remapped the PD......... essentially the characteristics of power delivery are polar opposites. PD delivers gobs of torque up until 3K and to get the best requires a short shift style of driving. CR170 delivers it's wares in a far more linear fashion, and as someone else says, much like a petrol offers go right through to the redline
Tough choice, but I find the 170 better refined
-
My CR170 doesn't rev over 3K in neutral
Not sure how I noticed this but at first thought it was a protection feature like in an M3 / M5 whereby it allows progressively higher revs as the oil gets up to temperature
It's not that - itnever revs over 3K in neutral, or in any gear with clutch in. As soon as the clutch is out in flies through to the redline
Some sort of crude launch control?
-
Yep - two fat resistors in there, dealer sorted it under warranty - sure they said it's a £60 fix (gulp)
-
I only have sensors on the rear, and I'm pretty sure the Columbus used to show just the back of the car with the warning markers............
Now, engaging reverse brings up an image of the whole car with detection markers all over the shop. I believe the audio guidance is still working correctly
Anyone had this anomaly?
-
That just sounds like a wheel's thrown a balancing weight
-
Over an indicated 90 and mine come on and stay on for 4/5 mins. More than 10 consecutive wipes of the screen and the same. Masked from that they're pretty good in their auto setting
-
I've a Dec 08 model, and despite running latest maps, don't believe my hardware supports a firmware upgrade to do 7 digits
-
Don't think so, my Elegance is black inside and out and it feels like the glass amplifies the sun's heat!
-
Had exactly the same the other day, the morning after sitting in a long jam for hours with the aircon on. Auxiliary coolant pump buggered according to the stealer - that was the only code that was evident
Performance / Economy not affected over the 500 miles driven with the light on
-
Citroen 2CV6 - never smiled as much driving a car since
Had better quality audio than my Superb's columbus delivers, and more comfy too ;-)
-
Yep - runs for ages sometimes on mine
-
Easy fix eh! Mine's fine thus far (touch wood)
-
Have a read of this - specifically response 17 onwards
-
I believe if you search these forums that it can be fixed with a small piece of gaffer tape - will try to dig out thread
-
At least you Octavia guys are acknowledging it! Zilch on the Superb II forum - probably says something about the way they drive eh!
-
Got it!
It's a sensor in the door linked to the airbags, that activates under negative G according to the guys on the Octy forum. Plenty of them have experienced it
Seems it requires a very specific type of hump / crest / hill for it to do it, and it's nothing to do with getting near the grip threshold for the ESP to kick in
If you do any form of response driver training / riding, you're taught to get on the power at the point of negative G to settle the car. Seems driving properly is not possible in Skoda's fitted with this type of safety system ;-) Turning off ESP doesn't stop it happening
Surprised nobody on here's noticed it as it feels like you're disconnected from the car for a couple of seconds
Fuel cap is stuck

I got sick and tired of this issue years ago so simply cut the wire sending power to it. Now it shuts perfectly flush and to open it I push it in and it pops open, do the same to close. Simple
