Yep, they do.

Master cylinder?
-
And today it finally began working again! Yippeee! Thanks everyone once again for your experiences. It put my mind at rest that I was not going nuts or that the MIB was! 👍🏻

Is that recoded from close by the brake pedal?
-
This is nothing to do with the DSG box, it’s the drive-by-wire throttle pedal. Get a pedal box and it disappears, even in bypass mode. Given the millions of vehicles with DSG boxes globally, the numbers of failures are minuscule, albeit it’s bloody annoying if it happens to you. Unless you’re going to buy a RX Lexus or above, you’re buying a badge engineered Toyota and yes, perhaps you will find them marginally quieter than the Superb diesel, but that won’t be a surprise given they do not make s diesel. You’ll be buying the 10 year warranty over that 10 year service period, via in an uplift in the service costs and it’ll be underwritten by an insurer, but it’ll be transparent to the owner. I had the misfortune to have a CT200h for a while. An underpowered, poorly built car and noisy with it.

My car was only supplied with two keys. 🙄
-
Three KESSY keys? Weird. My 2016 came with two and they both work fine. I tried the manual door opening when I first got the car and the drivers door opened very easily so perhaps they are not the correct key blades for the car.
-
Fair enough. Then you should lock the very item which is required to start your car inside it then. Oh, wait a minute…. 🙄
-
Nice one 👍🏻
-
I’d put the KESSY in a waterproof case and take it with me.
-
Interesting. I’m out at 6am, I’ll see if it’s back on. I’m amazed there isn’t anything about this elsewhere.
-
Thanks everyone for the confirmations. I really like Waze but it’s rubbish on the MIB1 Columbus, inasmuch as it doesn’t allow a 3D view; it’s like going back to the double DIN 4:3 in the Superb MKI!
-
I’d just like to know if others are not receiving TMC notifications. If not, it rules out a hardware problem and if not, well, it will be.
-
I posted a thread on this too, which langers2k kindly looped back your posts. I’ve never had an issue with TMC since 2012, when it was available on the Columbus in the MKII; its always been stable and available. Dynamic routing is ticked so it’s definitely not that.
-
Anyone??
-
Is the old one in the top pic?
-
I’ve rarely used this but today had a long drive on the M25/M1/A45 so pressed traffic to check the TMC situation and got precisely nothing; no data, no records - ziltch. TMC flag has a redline through it. Anyone have any idea what’s going on? I’ve looked in settings and I can’t find anything as the system says it’s automatic and cannot be switched off.
-
What’s up with the engine cover, travs?
-
Colin, you’re right there. I had Weller alloys on our Cooper S with the stickiest Kelly Springfield tyres that lasted about 2000 miles before I needed a new set on the front. I seem to recall, they were about £25 a side. The Wellers were still like new when I sold it in ‘83 (yeah don’t… I know; I should’ve kept it).
-
That’s true Colin, except it’s me who’s kerbed all four wheels since I’ve owned it. I have never kerbed any wheels on ‘00’s cars I’ve driven, but these ones have had an irresistible attraction to the kerbside. Putting that damage aside, the dreaded worm is caused by the lacquer coating being too thin and it’s not just these wheels, seems to be all of the wheel manufacturers do the same. The other day, I noticed that the wheels on a 2018 Aston Martin were suffering worm.

Dumb question. Can I use a USB stick inserted into the USB slot next to the phone holder to update the Columbus? I've used an SD Card into the reader on the unit in the glovebox in the past to update, but I just wondered if a USB was an option?

Hmmmm. Each to their own Colin, but they’re not my cup of tea.

I, and I’m sure,many of us had the same issue during lockdown. Additionally, I’ve had it again as I was not driving from Oct ‘21 to Mar this year. It’s just one of those things I’m afraid. I had an oil change last July and I’ll be getting it changed again shortly and annually from then on. Time for a DSG and Haldex oil change too. 👍🏻

….and congrats on the new 280 order! 👍🏻
