"Classic" Thanks for the pic, I shall not worry about the missing nut now. I don't have heat pump either so that bolt with the nut missing could well be the point they connect it too? My extra relay & 50A fuse maybe for my heated screen, that'll take a bit of juice?

Thanks for the tip but none of the fuse boxes match my Elroq one. I would be very grateful if another Elroq owner would pop the bonnet open and take a sneaky look and see if they too have a missing nut not? Just trying to avoid driving 50 miles to the dealer to look at another Elroq myself. Fingers crossed it's the same as mine

its not mentioned in the book, it may be wrong or just an unused fitting, I need to know what other peoples Elroqs'look like to know, but your right it does look wrong. Maybe something is supposed to bolt to it, but its not fitted to my car??

Hi All Need a favor please, today I was mucking about planning an audio upgrade and I took a look in the fuse box that sits to the right of the battery under the bonnet. There appears to be what looks like an 80A fuse to the left of the box. It seems to be missing a nut on the 10mm threaded post. Would some kind soul please take a look in there fuse box and confirm?

Both these items have now found a well deserved home

Reg the screen, "if" you find it a bit too dark in the winter you can take it out and stash it in the garage, the very reason I kept the box 😉

A couple of things that my previous Superb could never do, is being able to put the AC on before you use the car and then being able to leave it on when you park up and go the shops. Don't sound much but "how nice" that was today.

See you Sunday, at least it'll be cooler

PM'ed

Heading for the bin sometime soon ☹️

I thought the 84 battery was only used for the VRS? and even that has been changed to the 82 for MY27 production, I assume for standardisation reasons? I'm no expert but that's how it appears to me, here in the UK Even if they are different it's only going to make a 5 mile difference to range so just get the best deal

One is the reversable boot floor, carpet one side and a sort of plastic the other. Both items are in great condition too Second is a rear sun screen, it's a mesh material in a metal frame that you clip inside the hatch window, it keeps out a ton of heat and you can take it out for winter, you can't see into the car also. My 280 had tinted side windows but the rear glass was not done. Both are huge and would be prohibitively awkward to post. If you want either you WILL need to come to Swindon. They are free, of course a donation of draught Guinness tins are always welcome 😇, but no charge for a cuppa or coffee. I'd rather someone make use of them than just throw them I assume you can message me on here for details

I did not replace the Canton sub, I added an additional larger Pioneer one, the Canton one stayed where it was and still functioned normally

I added an additional sub for deeper lows, that was removed, the Canton one goes with the car and I'm almost certain "my" sub will end up the Elroq. Us bass players like to hear each other

You know your tyres 😄, "yes" GY Vector 4 Seasons Gen 3's

Sub was hooked up to both the feeds that connect to the OEM sub, connecting to the "speaker" level inputs on my sub. Standard sub has a dual coil woofer so one coil feeds the left IP, the other connects to the right, works perfectly. The original sub works as normal too.

I assume you referring to these satin bronze beauties? I guess I'll have to shift them on the Bay, they will probably look too small on an Elroq, it will require 55 profiles on the front and the Elroq has wider 9" rears too making an 8" rim a bit small for 255's, all a bit of a shame as I love the look of these JR's, they never look dirty too. Elroq VRS incoming.

All back to standard spec again, my lovely alloys taken off and original wheels back on, sub removed, spare wheel removed, rear window blind removed and all my junk taken out, there was an awful lot of that. She being PX'ed next week, a new Skoda will be incoming. It's not a Superb 280 so I guess I will be introducing myself to another section? This one should be up for sale in Newbury, Skoda for way more than they gave me no doubt, but I got a good "overall" deal so not complaining. The bronze JR alloys will not fit the new car, that is a blow, but not a deal breaker. So if anyone is looking for a nice Dec2023 280, this is it, not a mark on her, and only 2500 miles (low due to illness) Sort of saying goodbye to this thread but I'll keep on eye on it still, I'm sure?

She going "bye bye's" next week, new Skoda incoming so if anyone wants any of the take-offs you better shout, as I'll be moving to another section. I will be loosing the "cooled" seats & heated screen but gaining a HUD and a massaging seat.

Hi Guy's The Sub is a Pioneer TS-WX710A It has "speaker level" inputs so I have made up a mini-loom using bullit connectors, it fits in-line to the 4-wire connector that plugs into the OEM sub. These 4 wires are just 2 spreaker feeds, the Pioneer sub has a seperate left & right input, i.e. it's a 2 ch, 2 speaker unit. So one pair of the 4-wire connector feeds one of the Pioneer inputs, the other pair feeds the second. I have done it this way to make it easy to remove as I can just remove my loom and join the original loom wiring back together with bullit connectors. An easier way would be to use the Scotch-Lock "T" connectors on the 4 wires that plug into the OEM sub. I did have to take that apart to identify what wires made up the 2 seperate pairs/feeds to the speaker coils. taking the side panel out was the biggest PITA if I remember, I have no idea if this sub is still made? I have had it many years in many cars, it still works great though. It is made of heavy MDF hence all the strapping it down

Sorry for posting a "service" issue here but it may be 280 specific? Just had my 1st service at 16 months from purchase as the car was set to flexible. I requested it be kept this way but I've noticed the car is now stating the next oil change is due in 440 days? Two days later its down to 438 so I reset it myself this time "with VCDS" and it went back to 440 days, Should it not be 730 days initially before the car computes it needs to be lower etc? or is this what the 280 engine is supposed to be? even then why did I get about 500 days the first time? Or is the car not set to flexible now? Not sure how I can see this on the laptop/VCDS Thanks in advane

I have strapped my trusty old Pioneer Sub in place. It adds some more bass depth for sure but it also saves having to have the bass cranked on the equaliser making an easier life for the OEM gear. I have the remote for it in the centre console, x-over is set to @70Hz / 80Hz and IMHO it blends in very nicely with the Canton system and probably worth mentioning that the Canton sub is still working too, I have just tapped into it's dual coil feed and connected this to the two speaker-level inputs on the Pioneer. Please note this pic is before I completed the job, i.e. there are no wires visible or bits of blue foam now.

Mine did ask me to "OK" an update on the screen recently so I'll guess mine has updated itself and maybe 24.10 is even newer than the wk48/2024? They don't make it easy but they do want you to go pay a dealer I suppose?

This thread is a good timed one for me I just tried to upgrade to the week 48/2024 maps and like others here I get nothing showing when I hit the "upgrade" button no matter what I plug in or connect to wifi. My System page does state my maps are 24.10, does anyone know it that is the latest? It may explain my lack of progress so far if its already there?
