Had the same problem when my battery failed. Once the car was going again after being recovered, this fault remained until a new battery was fitted at the dealership.

Mine was in for 20,000 mile service last Friday, mentioned the noise and was informed of the replacement bushes to be fitted. Invited to book in to get the work done. Dealership had plenty of tech info about the problem and affected part numbers etc....

Hmm...please can you share where that version was downloaded from, as this page isn't found in the versions I've seen either.

Ridgeway Oxford, previously Jewsons. Excellent all round. I firmly believe that any relationship is only as good as what you put into it. Not saying you shouldn't always receive excellent service but the service can be even better than excellent if you build a positive relationship with the people at the dealership.

I just prefer 10k intervals, and with mileage at 700 per week I can usually predict exactly when it will be due. In the past in variable intervals I'd not get enough warning. Also I prefer to be able to say that "you only had it here a few k miles ago so should have noticed xyz" if there are issues. It's certainly not necessary, just my preference.

It works just fine for me.

So, booked in for 10,000 mile first oil change / inspection service on Friday. Getting the recall done plus the now official modification to the O/S washer hose (confirmation from Skoda that removing the back pressure regulator is supposed to resolve weak spray). What else, based on experiences here, should I get the dealership to check? And is anyone else here at 10K miles yet? (Actually it's 9,520 odd but I am clocking over 700 a week) :-)

Having followed up with my dealership as promised, they have confirmed that Skoda DO have knowledge of the issue and as Feedan says above, their fix is to remove the back pressure regulator and replace with standard hose. The positive is that this information is now available to dealerships directly via their mechanism of contacting the factory. The evidence provided from this forum was helpful in establishing that there is a real problem. Mine is booked in for it's 10,000 mile service on Friday, the recall, and this modification. Fingers crossed!

The one controlling access to Brunel's Three Bridges at Windmill Lane near Hanwell, London is particularly horrid - I am going through this every day. Luckily at the moment someone's trashed both the iron posts :-)

Unlikely anyone's had to do this on the latest version of the Columbus unit. Go on - why do you want / need to do this?

A lower seat position in 3 then? I wondered about doing that. Would you share a bit more about your seat setup if you have time? thanks!

You can switch on the reversing camera whilst travelling forward, but only you're stationary or almost stationary and at very slow speeds. As soon as you reach 3mph or similar it turns back off. Just press the parking sensor switch to activate it manually. I also use it to see if someone's approaching the car so I can pop the boot open for them.

that's exactly what my dealership did first time - said there was a missing / faulty O ring and they'd taken one off the superb in the showroom. I pointed out it was just as bad as before. I'm due to go back and tell them more, but will do so with the body of evidence built up here when I have a chance to do so.

Thank you VERY much for the rapid response and pictures - if it ever stops raining I'll have a go at fitting the camera this week. I also went for the TV 750...Mike

Hi Gizmo, where precisely did you mount the camera at the front? Regarding the regulations for mounting cameras, I see that you're not supposed to mount the camera in the wiper zone (interesting as on the SIII the wiper zone is the entire screen!) so I'm inclined to mount the front camera directly behind the rear view mirror, so it's directly in line with and below the camera in the housing you mention above. Got any pics? Cheers, Mike

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all :-)

thanks for confirming - good news!

I always reset on a decent bit of road after adjusting tyre pressures. I found after PDI all the tyres were inflated for maximum load. The system is a rolling radius one monitored by the traction control system (or something more technical than that). One thing I'm hoping for is that the dashboard display will show WHICH tyre is lower than the others - on the SII it was a case of having to inspect each tyre if it wasn't immediately obvious...

Nick - so sorry to hear about this. Hope it gets sorted.

I'm confused why I ordered hill hold control for £100 on a manual 150PS L&K when autohold is supplied as standard. So: turn OFF autohold; brake on an incline, without having put the parking brake on. You get a couple of seconds of brakes held on so you can remove foot from brake pedal, engage gear and accelerate forward. But with autohold turned on, you can come to a stop on an incline, release the brake pedal, the car is held with the brakes on, and when you engage forward gears and move off, the brakes are released. I'm curious what difference / benefit one is over the other. Autohold seems to be the better option?

Thanks all, will give it a try!

how exactly does that work? Does the position of that screw alter the position up the windscreen?

Offside = less pressure is my issue as well.... I will try raising this with my dealer and with Skoda UK, now that we have some common view on it.

I might be in a minority, but I insist on a service every 10K miles, and I do 35K a year. Theory is that's the best way to look after it, also the "but it was only in here for a service (less than 10K miles ago) so why didn't you notice xyz" is in my backpocket, though admittedly I've not had to use that. I just like the idea of having the thing I depend on serviced at regular intervals, even if it might cost a bit more.
