Q102

Doesn't it depend on the how much the final ballon payment is?

My car has done that recently, switched ignition off & on again and then okay. I'm assuming the battery was a little flat as it hasn't been driving much recently, and when it is it's cold & dark so extra strain on the electrics. I had a trickle charger on for a few days just to keep it healthy

I always find the sound quality crap on spotify on my car, much better playing of the SD card

My 2016 150tdi had P7s on, it was undriveable in the wet. The torque would just spin the tyres up with anything above light throttle use. Same tyres (albeit wider) on my 1.5TSi sportline do feel way better in the wet. To be on the safe side, I've got my Goodyear Ultragrip winter tyres on and especially as we had an inch or so of snow yesterday! They don't help on ice but I could at least get off my modest inclined drive

ACC will slow to a stop when the car in front does, it won't detect a stationary object. Front assist has activated when I've approached a slower/slowing car (ie it's turning left into a junction) and shown the warning / alarmed but never had to stop the car. I don't think it can stop you crashing but should lessen the impact! The systems use a mix of radar & cameras to "see" stuff - they don't work very well in falling snow (not that you should use ACC in snow anyway) From the manual: Emergency braking at low speed If there is a risk of collision in a vehicle speed range of about 5 km/h to 45 km/h, the system triggers an automatic braking. With automatic braking, the warning light appears in the display. Advance warning If the system detects a risk of collision, the warning light appears on the display and an audible signal is emitted. The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations. ▶ If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle in a speed range of approximately 30 km/h to 210 km/h. ▶ If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of approximately 30 km/h to 80 km/h. With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is to be avoided! Immediate warning and automatic braking - a moving obstacle If the driver does not react to the advance warning when in danger of a collision with a moving obstacle, the system briefly applies the brake automatically via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the potential danger of a collision again. If the driver does not respond to acute warning, the system begins to automatically brake the vehicle. Automatic braking - a stationary obstacle If the driver does not respond to the advance warning of the risk of a collision with a stationary obstacle in a speed range of approximately 30 km/h to 60 km/h, the system initiates automatic braking. Information on automatic braking If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the normal pedal stroke. The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the accelerator pedal or by means of a steering intervention. Brake assist If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system automatically increases braking force. The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly pressed down.

I had a 2016 150 TDi dsg, new in June of that year. Thankfully no adblue

I suppose you never really notice a Skoda doing it. My Porsche 718 has a charge management system. The first time I saw it, I thought the alternator was broken as the battery voltage just kept dropping while I was cruising down a motorway. It then started to rain, so lights & wipers on, battery voltage shot back up to 14ish

I used this company for mine https://www.mrwinterwheels.co.uk/skoda-winter-wheels/superb-2015/ I got a set of 16" steels with a good quality winter tyre - Goodyear I think? Obviously a 16" wheel is no good for you but they may have a bigger alternative

A friend has a BMW X3 hybrid- he has done lots of research into the correct settings. Ideally, you want the electric power for acceleration/speeding up and ICE unit for cruising.

as above really! Currently have 2016 2.0TDI SE Business est, love the car but I feel it's just too floaty. Taking cash instead of company car in a few months, ideally want another Superb as the dog guard and boot liner are a straight swap. There seems to be a fair few Sportlines second hand at the moment at a reasonable value
