  1. I use the paddles a lot. I use it to upshift, as the DSG doesn’t change up when it could. So at 30mph, it tends to stay in 3rd so I upshift to 4th, thus improving mpg. I tend to downshift when I’m planning to overtake but don’t want it to automatically downshift two gears as I accelerate and then scream away like a banshee.
  2. LOL! Well, I stand corrected and.... ....now I understand your comment above. Nevertheless, would you agree it is perfectly normal for the electric fans to operate when the AC is in operation?
  3. There’s nothing in water based paint which would take months to suddenly appear or cause the type of defect you describe. You should be able to photograph the damage in shade, with additional shading any reflections. Give it a go.
  4. Errrr... it does exist, albeit the clutch is on the AC compressor!
  5. Speak to the business who applied the ceramic.
  6. It’s normal for the fan to run when the AC is on and stop when you turn the AC off. The condenser, the part in front of the coolant rad is a heat exchanger, so if there’s no air flowing over it it won’t dump the heat it needs to from the coolent, so then the AC core inside the cabin would stay hot and so do you and that’s why the fans run continuously.
  7. If your AC is on, both fans will run.
  8. Don’t get the point of the post, but your Superb “sleeper” is now beginning to look anything but... Unfortunately, a ton going at full tilt vs a 75lb kid in its path, makes natural selection irrelevant.
  9. Which is exactly the same as the MKII however, that also has a warning lamp in the instrument cluster. One you can see in ones peripheral vision, the other you can’t.
  10. There’s some real twits about. We have a local young idiot in Merc E63 who blasts up the road outside ours, which probably hits 70 by the time they get to the roundabout some 200m from the house. He also has a Lamborghini Go****efasti in which he likes to do the same. Oh, yes, there was another ar$e in a 20 year old Type R with a 10” exhaust and a sub the size of a dustbin lid who went straight on at said roundabout at high speed, removing both front legs and a rear suspension arm too! What a nob!
  11. Only if the light is actually installed which, on looking at the manual it would seem, it doesn’t...
  12. I wonder who in Skoda thought “Wow... I’ve got a good idea - let’s leave out the “headlights on” information light in the instrument panel and then they’ll have no idea if they’re on or off...” Genius!
