[traffic information function on superb mark 3 with columbus navigation]

For reasons unknown to me  my traffic  info  function and the traffic info on my sat nav no longer shows  any information. Have i  inadvertently pressed the wrong button  somewhere. Any thoughts would be most  welcome.

 

my version  is the 2 litre L&K model   with the Columbus sat nav.

[Progress Skoda - Letchworth]

I have had a somewhat time consuming experience with this dealer this week.

The facts are as follows.

My 2010 Superb TDI went in on 1 July to have a front shock absorber replaced under warranty.

The car was delivered back to me by the dealer later in the day. The dealer is 20 miles from me.

When I drove it for the first time there was a strange noise which I had never heard before. When I queried it with them they said their man from the service department had driven it back to me and it was ok!

the next  day I  started to  drive it back to them as agreed for them to look at it and after 200 yards the noise became much louder and several  warning lights re ESP etc came on. The car was ‘undrivable’ and had to be recovered back to them on a low loader following a call out to the Skoda Recovery Service (RAC).

The upshot of all this is that they claim that a bearing had failed and they have now replaced it, admittedly under warranty. How often does a car under 3 years old and with 37,000 carefully driven miles need a new bearing?

I had to drive a basic VW Polo 1.2 litre hire car (the best they could muster) at Skoda’s expense for 24 hours!

I will leave it to others to draw their own conclusions on whether I am a happy driver!

[columbus sat nav and full post code]

i am newish to posting so forgive me if this is in the wrong place and format.

i have a 2010 year superb tdi estate in elegance trim with the columbus sat nav as standard. Whilst I am delighted with the car.i find the inablitlty to insert a destination's full post code into Columbus frustrating.

is there a way to upgrade it in some way to enable it to take the full post code and if so how and at want approximate cost.

any suggestions would be most welcome.

thanks
