If the garage is a member of the Motor Ombudsman you can also go that route as that is what l did .

Hi l was wondering if anyone could advise on an issue that has started happening to my Columbus Head Unit in the last week. When l turn it on after it has not been used for a hour or two. It cycles through turning off and on .After it has been on for a while this stops.see attachment showing the cycling HwVideoEditor_2021_09_15_111154691.mp4 .Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've had it since 2012.I got my money back for the engine replacement from the garage as there was a distinct rattle for a few seconds on start up which is a precursor to the cam chain going .l told the garage twice but they said not to worry then it whent bump.The car had done 100,000 miles at that stage.It took 2 years through the motoring ombudsman before they found in my favour. I got the manifold changed at the same time.lts done 30:000 on the new engine with no problems. It's a dsg with full leather interior and Columbus media system.Everything else has been solid and it still drives really well.If Dsg make sure the Dsg oil has been changed at every 40:000 miles.lt still drives and handles like the day l got it.

I had my Engine replaced following tensioner failure in my 2011 vrs in 2018 .The only other expensive ltem that they are prone to from that era is the air intake manifold flaps coking up showing an error message.This can cost about £900 to be replaced. The replacement one is a different revision and less prone to faliure.If you YouTube it there are plenty of videos .You should check it has the revised one.I got mine done when the engine was placed as they had to remove it to change the engine. Watch the video on the below link to see the differences and you can check if the car you are looking at has the revised one.

Well after 2 years we finally won our case through the motoring ombudsman against my Skoda dealer.Originally I had a strange rattle on startup .l took the car into the garage twice worried it was the cam chain tensioner.l was told they were not concerned only for the tensioner to fail a month later .l had to pay.for a new engine but paid under protest.l the took the garage on through the motoring ombudsman giving them as much evidence as l could with reference to me telling the garage what l thought the problem was and loads of articles,utube videos and VW technicle bullitens. After two years the Ombudsman have found in my favour and the garage reluctantly have had to refund me for the cost of the new engine.It was a long slog but l got there eventually.

Hello l have a 2017 superb estate and the outside air temperature reading is roughly 10 degrees higher than it should be for example when it's 8 degrees it reads 18-19 degrees. Is this a common fault?. l cannot find where the sensor is to check. On my Octavia it's easy to locate but not on the superb.
