Toyo C1-S weren't bad tyres - had them on my 170 4x4 for a while
-
we've had a Mk1 Cee'd (LS CRDi 113 bhp) from new ('57 plate) and it's been a good car; we've spent nothing on it bar servicing and fuel etc.

remember, the weights are the MAM (Maximum authorised mass) ie. Our Twin-Axel iFor williams box trailer, tips the scales at 700kg's empty - however, it's max weight is 2700kg's - therefore, way out of my wife's (no B+E) licence range even when empty!

26, but it was pre-registered and had been at the dealer for around 2 months - poss done a test drive, but that would be about it.

have you really got your dash-cam shooting in 360p? need to get that bad-boy ramped up a notch.. or three...!
I'm not sure there's much to be pulled from that video at that setting tho...

when i owned my Superb (170 4x4 estate) i put 18" winter's on new OEM rims (225/40/18) and it was unstoppable..
i changed to a Mercedes E Class (250 CDi) AMG Sport; 265/35/18 on the back - 245/40/18 on the front.. and it wasn't unstoppable, but unmovable in the snow! Big engine and 7-speed box, no where near the rear wheels leaving them very light.
For the winter, I now run 245/45/17 all-round with Pirelli SottoZero rubber and it'll hold it's own with RangeRovers on anything unto a few inch's. (I can't fit anything smaller due to the AMG Drilled-Disc's on this model) or i may have came down to 16's, or at least a smaller width.

would find it VERY foolish to replace the Superb with another model - Big Estates (E Class, Superb, A6, 5 series) are very popular at the moment, a lot more than an SUV, and i think they will be for a while yet....

forget the sunset glass, and have it tinted to your liking at a later date - wish i had of! - the Sunset was way too light - dad's sunset on his L&K Yeti has been re-tinted to make it darker too.

9000 miles and only a year old? - is the Fabia really THAT bad...?!

Have the transit bolts been removed by the dealer? There was a thread in one of the forums on here recently about this happening
Sent from my Hudl HT7S3 using Tapatalk
Transit-Block's hadn't been removed from mine... until noticed at 1st service!! - Made, 100%, no difference what so ever!

35 mpg from a teeny engine in a 'we small car, is absolutely shocking, to be honest.
41.6mpg is the average, over the past 15,996 miles, from my 2.2 twin-turbo 7 speed auto diesel merc estate with 204 bhp weighing in at 1840kg kerb! - and this includes some miles with 1700kg's of caravan on it's back!
but i suppose that's the problem, with the modern way, of decreasing engine size, and having to make them work harder to get what you want out of them. take the new 1.0 125bhp fiesta for example... claimed 65 - average 44
when dad bought his Yeti, he went for the 170 tdi 4x4 - he gets mid-40-something out of that too; he's got a bit of trailer towing in that.

should be a good we' camera.... but be aware.
"There’s no card slot, either, as Nikon has packed it with a generous 7.3GB of internal storage, which is enough for more than 3,000 shots at the full 10.1-megapixel resolution or three hours of VGA-quality video."
ps. Accidentally clicked 2* on the rate this topic... didn't mean too - sorry!

Don't diss it.....
this is real!

Things along the lines of the air vents closing off when reverse is engaged or the screen washed, to avoid the smells entering the cabin.
I always thought it engaged re-circulation rather than shutting them off
Along with cornering function, Fog Lights should also come on, when engaging reverse, if headlights on & on auto
Rear-Wiper should wipe when engaging reverse, if auto wipers are on.

back in the day, my 1.8 TD mondeo turbo's collapsed... i managed to get upto 40mph... that was all - i know that was trying to push past a turbo that wasn't blowing, but I wouldn't want to be without it - and on that note, why would you want to be without it...?

i run Nikon's - D3, D3s, D3x - Other pro's run Canon's - 6 and 2 3's to be honest - i'm considering a change... to a Fuji X-T1 as they are believed to be excellent... as the current pro-nikon stuff is disappointing; £5200 for a D4s! pff, Naaa!

no difference between ride heights of 4x4 and 2wd Superb's - they run on the same chassis.
that being said, a rough road pack with increased ride height is available, just not in the Uk!

Same, Witter Detachable fitted to previous car - bumper cut, but it's underneath...
Al.
ps. I do like my Westfalia that's fitted to my Merc, better than previous Witter!

I use a Spider Pro
Hang by d3s and 24-70 2.8 on one side, and my other D3s with 70-200 2.8 on the other... keeps my hands free and weight off my back!

flat spots, that's it!

did the Luna's not suffer from splitting at one point....?

i ran the Wintrax on my Superb 4x4 in 18" form - LOVED them.
ran them on my wife's Cee'd - Loved them too!
run Pirelli SottoZero's on my current Merc - not as good as the Vred's but they came at the right price with wheels attached Al.

have you not bought the wrong car then? - my old superb estate 4x4 was a harder ride than my current e class 250cdi amg! - i can't say it felt like a boat....
but joking aside, i suppose it depends what you want to do with it - keep it a practical estate or give it the show and no go.
personally, i'm sure Skoda / VW put enough research into it, to give the best overall compromise.

I sold my '09 VFR last week.... It just wasn't suiting my riding - I'm a smidge over 10 stone when wet, and around 5'6" and it was too cumbersome for me.... and I've always wanted a BigBlade to match my BabyBlade.
So here's my "new" 1996 CBR900RRT 'blade with a mere 19k miles on the clock.
Altho, she looks a bit weird with the new bunch last week!
She's had a full stainless system and K&N filter etc fitted - Sound's great and ride's really well for her age.
Love it

rSAP Bluetooth to HandsFree - Sucess!
in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Posted
Hi Max,
Sorry for late reply; not a Superb owner no more so only pop in once in a while...
using rSAP, shuts your phone down, as a phone, and the car becomes the phone, using it's own aerial. - So, would presume that's correct, you can't make a WiFi hotspot, as no data will directly pass through your phone!
Hope that helps
