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.

Is it the direction tab that is missing, Colin?

So welcome to Briskoda and to the 272/280 thread, rcblur69. You didn’t say how long your commute is, but if I take the start-up average on my massive 2.5m each way commute, I get about 22mpg first thing (06.00) and about 23, maybe 24mpg back at (08.30). My long term is still showing about 28.5 but that’s because I did a 1k round trip to Ireland about 6 weeks ago which got my long-term avg upto 35. Cold engines use more fuel and when it’s winter I get 20-21 there and back. So given this I’d say what you’re getting isn’t off, it’s in the about right arena; if this was a V6 or worse, a V8 developing 280’ish bhp, you’d be looking up the noisy exhaust at 15mpg or even less.

I went the other way. Started on S, then S+ and now R. R+ is, as you say, nuts! 😂

I’ve had no improvement in fuel consumption, despite the claims Racechip makes. How can shoving more air and fuel into an engine to boost performance result in better MPG?

And I’ve just discovered ours is blocked again and was working fine last week.

Yep, residuals and thereby prices are nuts and zero sign of them diminishing as long as the builds for new cars are 12m and more. The manufacturers are loving it; high residuals and increased RRP’s, so perfect for them. On your question, I’m guessing PCP’s.

Not something I’ve had. Perhaps the radar needs recalibration? Have you had a front end bump?

Great. Well, you’ll probably need to remove the NS wheel and wheel arch liner to get to the washer bottle; hopefully ApatureS et al will confirm. Now do you want to answer my other questions, namely… So is the pump still working? What makes you think the water is contaminated?

Nope! Our 2016 is on 40k (65km).
