Thanks dstev2000, That's good to know, but it's not the LED's in the torch that are staying on, it's the little halogen bulbs that point with-ways across the boot if you know what I mean? Rob

No interior lights stay on ... I was wondering if the torch was on a time delay thing like coming home lights etc, but I can't see how that would make any sense? I also wondered if it was some sort of charging phase it was in but surely it would be fully off during that ... I'm stumped .

Thanks Coops .. Yeah I did notice that alright but it seems not right that it's staying on when I lock the car with the fob .. Could it be the LED's causing the problem? Rob

Yes, LED DRL's, fogs and tailgate (inner) ... All are error free and resistors fitted where needed. Could this be the cause?

It goes back in one end first, opposite way to get it off again ... Stick with it son ..! Rob

I noticed something strange tonight. When I locked the car with the fob, the small detachable torch in the boot stayed on ( at half brightness ). When I pressed open on the fob it went off, and when I opened the boot lid it went on at full brightness. Am I missing something? Rob

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't waste my money on park assist. You'll never use it ... Rob

Hi KT1966, I've recently done just that.. Here's the handiest way out ( in my view) .. Fit an under-seat sub under the front passenger seat ( aprox£200). Pick up a decent used 32gb gen 2 iPod and hook it up to the armrest data port, set the sound setting on the iPod to your preferred EQ ( I've found 'Loudness' to be the best for me) The EQ settings on the Columbus are not great, this points to amp quality which is average at best, but adequate for most people. . This should work well although I did change all the speakers front and rear, now sounds fantastic. The stock set up to me sounded very harsh ... Best of luck, Rob

They're great cars, you won't regret it ... Twice the space of a 3 series touring too (and you'll be let out at junctions..! ) Best of luck, Rob

Oh dear, what did you do? Rob

Fitted these this week. Look's good and an easy fit (I used two pack epoxy glue to be sure) ... Cheers, Rob http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/SUPERB-II/Superb-II-stainless-steel-chrome-trim-6pcs-set

I honestly doubt it's water ingress but I'll be keeping an eye on that...I think It's either an electrical anomaly or a low battery so not the end of the world .. Thanks to y'all, Rob

Thanks Chris ...

Regarding the manual one (which I have), it seems a bit slow to retract fully from the second position. Anyone have a fix for this? Cheers, Rob

Thanks mate ...

Thanks Superbdreams, Where does the water gain access to the cabin? Rob

Thanks for the replies lads. All seems well so far today after a 45 minute drive. I'll post anything relevant as it happens. Cheers, Rob

Hi all, Here's what happened: Note: All occurred on long motorway runs. 1. TPMS "low pressure" warning on dash. All pressures were correct when checked. I reset TPMS and has been fine since. Happened wednesday night. 2. Columbuus stalled/crashed. Reset twice, fine since. Friday evening. 3. Seatbelt undone warning, early saturday morning. Unresolved / intermittent. Sound like time for a new battery? Thanks in advance, Rob

Is your fuel filter healthy? Rob

... When I'm due to change tyres I'll be fitting 225 / 45 / 18 instead of 225 / 40 / 18. A bit more protection for the 18"s and a more cushioned ride. I've looked into it a good bit now and there are no clearance issues. Kumho and Uniroyal do decent mid range tyres in that size that get very good reviews ... After 100K miles in the MKI with a 45 sidewall, I've had zero issues with potholes / rough roads etc. HTH, Rob

What would you replace your MKI with? Rob

As the title says, is it possible to fit these? I've tried so called error free LED's but they threw up the error warning! It's a tight fit for resistors, so is there a way or a VW fitting (part number etc) that will work? Cheers, Rob

Diesel V6, it's interesting you say that to do '2K miles is hard in any other Skoda than a MKI Superb' ... I've done 100K miles in the MKI and I can tell you the MKII is a far better long distance cruiser ... Rob

Made all the more strange as my car is imported from the UK. I gave Skoda IRL. my chassis number to be absolutely sure ... Cheers, Rob

Hi Gaz, I used one of those pumps on my MKI, it's a very simple process (on the 1.9 anyway). Warm up the engine to about half normal temperature to make the oil more 'liquid' then start sucking it out through the dipstick (push the sucker nozzle all the way down till you feel some resistance). While its doing this, remove the oil filter, putting an old towel under the housing to prevent any spills. The new filter will come with new O rings and seals, put them on being careful not to 'twist' them (run a bit of oil around them with your finger). When the oil is out of the sump, put the sucker into the filter housing and poke around a bit to get any last drops of old oil that might be hiding in there. Fit the new filter element and tighten the lid (do not over tighten it), fill with new oil, let it settle and dip it and top up till the level is correct. I found the sucker method to remove about 90% of the old oil, so every third change or so, I'd drop it out through the sump plug. Best of luck, Rob
