DSA Haldex controller for Superb III AWD
And the other thing about going faster round corners is you quite often can't see far enough ahead at reasonable speeds.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
The winter tyres help a lot because the walls are softer. I'm going to fit all weather tyres to mine when I need to change.

Gearbox error message
You have a warranty, it's a fault, they should fix it. Whether they get any recompense from Skoda is not your problem.

Is there a setting to make steering more direct and sporty?
I can't move my steering wheel at all without the car changing direction. Are you sure there's not something loose?

Workshop only leave vehicle in P
It's a common fault and Skoda know about it. I got free parts and 50% off the labour as my car was out of warranty. It should be fixed under warranty for you.

Intermittent Start up error
Just to eliminate a possibility, do you have a pedal box fitted? They can throw up some odd errors when they start to go wrong.

Electronic Parking Brake
Put it this way then. My neutral idling speed is 800rpm. It drops to 800rpm when the parking brake is applied. When the car is in creep more the revs are higher.

Electronic Parking Brake
I think the clutches are still engaged as the car is ready to creep as soon as you release the pedal.

Electronic Parking Brake
If you use the parking brake you don't have to put it in neutral, the clutches release. You will see this happening if you watch the rev counter. It will drop a couple of hundred rpm.

Automatic break
A plastic bag blew onto my grill and the brakes slammed on, luckily it dropped off fairly quickly and the brakes released. It was a good job there was no one behind me, it would have given them a shock.

Radar & Grille part numbers

I find you need to be gentle with the throttle. I turn it off for tight manoeuvring as sometimes it leaps backwards when you overcome the brake.

Electronic Parking Brake
I reckon this is one of the best things on the Skoda. Got a surprise when I collected the car from it's service and it was switched off. Wondered why I was rolling back when I stopped!

Gearbox error message
My car was just out of warranty and they replaced it free of charge and I paid 50% of the labour. This is a well known issue and they will contribute if they are pushed. Don't take no for an answer as they have a notification on file that it is a fault and they should repair it.

Error service: leave vehicle only when selector in position p
Before you pay for it contact Skoda support. Mine was just out of warranty and they paid for the part and 50% of the labour. It is a known fault and they will contribute if you push them. I had to get it diagnosed by a Skoda Service station before they would consider it.
