Fingers crossed for you Colin…🤞🏻

We should consider ourselves very lucky, given we’re able to interrogate and make changes to our vehicles systems, allowing us to access and make use of another traffic monitoring system. Over in the Honda Owners Club forum, they’re complaining about the loss of TM and it seems they have no way to change-over to INRIX and, I presume, it’ll be the same for many other vehicle manufacturers products too.

Perhaps you should contact one of the members in Manchester who has VCDS/VCP?

Leaking water pump is a big and expensive failing on the 888 engine. Our 280 is about to go in to have it replaced; I’ll be £875 lighter on Monday….🙄

Brilliant! All done and TRAFFIC is up and running again!! Thanks to Rizmod and Tell et al for their help!! 👍🏻

Sorry for being thick, but could somebody please tell me where one goes in VCDS to make the changes needed to get TMC up-and-running again?

Wow! That’s great news - I’ll give that a go!

Errrrm…. wassismean?

I just needs a good LSP next, so something like TW Hybrid Solutions Pro Flex Wax. Dead easy to apply and lasts for weeks.

So the expanding plastic thingy is missing?

Think you’ll need to remove the liner and see what’s stopping the screw from locking-up.

Did you try backing it off and tightening it again?

There’s a very slight whine when I back off around 30mph, but it’s not there at faster speeds. The filters and fluids were cleaned and changed a year ago.

Prefect, thank you MartiniB.

Can I ask where you got them, Martini? And are they all the same?

Ahhhh, so do they reduce the locking sound? If not what’s the purpose?

😂 Right, but what’s their real purpose? BTW… that sound insulation you’ve added is insane!

Make sure you test the sills and the inner door panels too. If the water doesn’t bead or beads poorly, you’ll know they’ve done a poor job.

Hey MartiniB, I note they’re fitted to some Audi and the ghastly Bentaga (obviously they’re the same lock system as the Superb) but I’m mystified as to what they actually do?

I would also add, the Autoglym instructions state they HAVE to coat the WHOLE car, including the inner door and boot panels, plus the door, boot and bonnet shuts and the sills.

Nice one!👍🏻

Yeah, I’d just do a reset and check it a few days later.

Fortunately I’ve never had this happen. Also I’ve never had anything reset on the wireless when I’ve had a service, except the radio station and and annoyingly, the service reset once too. Both those are sorted now I’ve stopped using the main dealer network. As for the fob, that goes into the faraday pouch as soon as I get home.

This one seems to’ve had similar issues looking at the MOT’s.
