TBH @Graham Butcher, the difference between the Normal and Comfort setting isn’t night and day, but it’s enough to stop the hitting the bump stop, especially when you’re loaded-up. I agree it’s nice to have the overall smoother Comfort ride on the motorway (we travelled back home yesterday from Birkenhead so 240-odd motorway miles) but on urban roads it’s awful, bouncing around over on uneven surfaces. And over sleeping policemen it’s like being in a boat!

Sorry - you want it to bottom? I didn’t realise that was your objective.

YAY! Magnetic Brown Metallic? I think that’s two of us 280’s now with that colour! 😂 Notice any improvement after you’ve fitted the new turbo inlet?

Set it to Normal.

Loose all the lettering. It’s sooooo much cleaner imo and trust me years ago, I was Mr Badgeman!

@hwntw Can you add a photo of the part?

OK. So if you keep the washers on, does it run out quickly and if you pour water into the tank right upto the brim, does water run out under the car? If not then I’m at a loss how it’s keeping fluid in the reservoir with a dirty-great hole in it.

Turn on the ignition. Without sitting on the seat, send the seat all the way to the front. When it stops, release the switch, then press the switch forward again and the seat will move forward a few mm and stop. Then do the same in reverse - literally. Make the seat go all the way back. When it stops, release the switch, then press the switch back again and the seat will move back a few mm and stop. Get in and adjust the seat to the position you want. Now press the “Set” button and select the corresponding memory button you wish to use and you’ll get the confirmation “bong” from the dash.

Or National Tyres (now part of Halfrauds of course), who decided my wife’s Fucus needed 50psi all round when I had them all replaced a couple of years ago…

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to wait tbh. The last thing you want, is for it to completely fail and you can’t close it (or open it for that matter!) in the ikea car park! Since we’ve had the car, compared to those on other owners Superbs, Golfs and Octavia, the struts creek and squeal like an unlubed front ARB, both going up and down. The dealer wouldn’t change them though, as they operate fine.

I suggest you Google on that one. But I’d also advise you get an account with erWin Skoda and download the workshop manuals for the car. You’re bound to need it again in the future. Think it’s about €8 for an hours use.

Yep: there ain’t much AS doesn’t know about the SIII!

I’d try resetting it again as sometimes they can go a bit squiffy. For instance, this morning, the drivers window one shot wouldn’t auto open or close it, so I manually closed it and held the switch up for 10 secs and it was fine again.

Correct. They’re only at full tilt when you select “Max” on the central dial demist button. Look for “Air Distribution Control” in the owners manual.

The NS mirror should return to its normal position once you’re above 10kph (I think it’s something like that) or you turn the ignition off. Take a look in your manual. I don’t have a profile as such, as I’ve enabled easy entry, but once that’s set, it’s fine. What does yours do, intermittently?

YES. But you’ll need access to VCDS to enable it. It’s so simple, I’m astonished that VAG haven’t told their multi marque dealer network how it can be fixed. Oh.. hang on…

Blimey! Thank you @Bap33, @J.R., @UndertheRadar, @HeavyMetalRich, @Warrior193, @petrolcan, @Mickvrs220 So, yeah the car is a 2016 Superb and it’s the original screen. I’ve now tried White Spirit and that did nowt as did WD40, Panel-wipe (well what have I got to loose!) and QD too. A Brillo is completely safe on glass @petrolcanas it’s far softer than the glass itself plus, of course, it has the soap which acts as lube. Since the video, I’ve also tried Astonish hob cleaner with a Brillo but that didn’t touch it either. But using the glass scraper sounds like a great idea @HeavyMetalRich so I’ll give that a whirl. It’s just so odd that whatever this is, you can’t feel it with a finger nail and it has built-up at that position on the glass at its end of travel, making the blade squeak like a banshee! @Mickvrs220 does the G4 need to be used with a DA? I’m thinking that cerium oxide will be the final weapon to attack this gunk. Thanks again for all your suggestions guys. Num

Nice one!

Yes, give that a go first. Try the second if that doesn’t improve matters.

Hmmm. Not sure, but there is also the flap relearn procedure too which as follows @ApertureSis this OK to try to solve Graham’s issue? Turn the ignition on, then off. Hold the ac and recirculate buttons till the panel starts flashing, then all the flaps will move and relearn their positions When the display it stops flashing, cycle the ignition again. Graham, wait ‘til AS comes back with the confirmation to go ahead, or not!!

Need some help over here!

Please look at the attached video. Does anyone have any idea what the heck has contaminated the windscreen? This causes the wipers to squeal insanely as it reaches the end of its travel; it’s driving me nuts. As you can see from the attached, I’ve tried removing whatever it is with a Brillo, Brillo and BKF and just BKF. Also I’ve used neat windscreen wash, ISO and acetone. So if this was the usual traffic or diesel film it’ll be gone, but nothing has touched it. All suggestions gratefully received. EDIT Oh BTW; you need to have the sound up! IMG_0220.MOV

You could try a reset, Graham: you do this by holding the auto and face vents switches down together for 30s or so.

Three days gone and no response. Must’ve solved it….or sold it.

….and take a 2nd mortgage to pay for it…😖
