They’re the standard L&K 19” ones, but I can’t recall their name. Also I can cfm that ours has the foam on top of the plastic wheel arch liners.

Cheers….👍🏻

What is that “thing/sensor” he’s shot there, AS?
-
PS.. I was expecting something exciting to appear on this thread, given the huge white space pauses @fabia88! 😂 PPS.. apart from a failed rear wheel speed sensor failure, which caused the dash to light up like a Christmas Tree (most worrying at the time) the 280 has been completely reliable in three years and 18000 miles.

Hmmmm, well from experience I’ve found the situation to be completely different. If I hadn’t had 4WD on a trip to Ireland in Dec 21, I’m sure I’d never have got home on the P7’s. I think is was five cars I passed who had to give up on the snow and ice for lack of grip and brakes, albeit two were already in the ditch - but the Superb carried on at a steady 20mph without any major dramas. It was the night decided that I’d fit AllSeason tyres after the P7’s were tired and did so in Dec ‘22.

Well, that’s a lovely car. Just goes to show how residuals have improved; I paid £20k for our 2016 hatch with 19,000 miles in 2020! One interesting thing on your car; I see it has a seat memory switch on the passenger seat? I didn’t think they were available at all, let alone standard?

Magnetic Brown. The Turtle Wax Hybrid Wax with Graphene is amazing.
-
Sheesh, that’s a lovely fleet of cars you have there ZacDaMan!
-
Probably easier for you to take and paste a pic of what you can see on your car, so AS can comment on that?
-
Right. I’d had enough, so I had to clean it today. Bit better than it was a couple of days ago….

Jeeesus! I got 37k out of the P7’s (18k of which I added after Prykey traded it) and they still had 3mm all round! Mind you I got 56k on the Contis I had on the MKI Superb, so clearly I do drive like a Granny!

No, not if my experience with the Conti All Season is similar to CrossClimate, albeit I’ve only had them since the end of November and have covered 2,500 miles, so no hot days as yet. Interestingly, the first thing I noticed was they’re so quiet vs the P7’s they replaced. I went with the Conti over the Michelin, based purely on the overall dry and wet performance rather than snow, as we get so little of it here, but we recently had one morning where we woke up to about 4cm and it was like driving on a normal wet road. The amount of snow which had been thrown-up into the wheel arches was amazing!

You must have very clean rain down there… this is how ours looks after a month!
-
Yeah but how many days of rain have you had in 2 months, JR?
-
Well I’ve done sod all to the car for a month. I hate it being dirty but with the wet weather followed by our builder occupying the garden for three weeks means it hasn’t been cleaned for five weeks. 🤮 I’ll shut up moaning now… The only good thing is that the TW Graphene Wax makes washing it a pleasure. It’s amazing stuff.
-
That exhaust system is a thing of beauty…. 😔

Sorry for the late reply. Please look through this Sticky….

Copy and paste…. site:briskoda.net 280 spark plugs …..into the Google search bar and watch the results appear before your very eyes….
-
Perhaps get a VCDS owner nearby to scan the car to see if that throughs-up any fault codes.

Yes, you have to remove the tray. IIRC, once the screws are out, you need to slide the tray forwards to remove tongues from grooves at the front of the rear tray. It’s a PITA, as is uncoupling the plug and socket you need to bridge. PS - I might be wrong, but I think there could be more than 8 screws? Anyone have an illustration to confirm?
-
Would these be valves in the rear boxes? If so, I'd be very surprised if it would produce the issue you describe. I’d suspect it would be related to an injection issue.
-
If you don’t me asking, but what was the cost of the two maps?
