Hi Guys , i have the VCDS any chance you could give a step by step guide on how to do this i do use vcds alot but only for diagnostic checking and service light resets , never really got into recoding as was always worried about changing something and not being able to recover it :smirk:

thanks very much as always for the advice :)

Hi has anyone removed there dpf and replaced with one of the straight thru options available Cheers Sgt Strev

I have always used EBC greenstuff pads on previous cars i have owned found them to have excellent performance , last a little bit longer and considerably less brake dust . When my current standard pads wear out i will be sourcing myself a set :p

Thanks guys for all the answers , got it it has to be in the park position `0` :rofl: :rofl: :no: :no: sware i tried this before never mind its working now

Yeah tried that but to no joy :(

Hi so i have a 2.0tdi se spec with folding mirrors that operate of the rotary switch on the drivers door . My question is , can these be operated by the key on closing and opening of the door cant seem to find anything in the handbook either way ??? :| many thanks in advance for any help

STUNNING !!!!!! :p :p :p :p :p :p

Hi not sure if you are supposed to check oil with the engine hot or cold ? :wonder: And what type of oil are people using for both normal and variable services , brand grade etc ? :wonder:

Can`t say i have had the same problem but i know that some different fuel stations do have slightly different size nozzles on the hoses , maybe this might explain your problem

Got get some pics on hear of your ongoing conversion would love to see it :p

ok my model has the silver washer covers and daytime running lights so this should have the cable then yes ? :wonder:

i know its probably an obvious answer but thought i would see if anyone has any experience of it does modifying your superb affect the warrenty , thinking about lowering it ,different wheels etc having not owned a car with warrenty before .

Just noticed another superb today which had a sharksfin aerial along with another 12 inch traditonal aerial coming out of the same sharksfin aerial , i thought the radio aerial was on the rear screen as it has the vertical lines on the glass had a close look at mine and it has no facility for screwing in a different aerial so it must be a completley different aerial maybe this might be the difference between gps or not

They all look great , but the rears look fantastic :p , where did you get them from ?, how much for a set ? and any detailed info on the resistors you had to use would be appreciated :yes:

Hi philpix as i have the sharkfin aerial already installed does that mean i can just plug the columbus unit straight in :S i have seen the columbus unit available on ebay :yes:

many thanks for the reply , how much does the gps unit cost ? and have you had any problems with signal having it buried in the dash :no:

Hi has anyone retro fitted the sat nav unit into there superb , replacing the orignal bolero unit . just wondered if its a straight swap or are mods required , wiring ,gps aerial etc Not even got it yet and thinking about modifications will i ever be happy

thanks again Gizmo68 , i have the ross-tech cable bought it about 5 years ago and its probably been a year or so since i have done an update as soon as i read your reply i remember seeing vcds on the start up screen , just so used to calling vag-com . I suppose quite alot can be done with the VCDS on the skoda ?, i was pretty limited what you could do on early 1998 Audi A8`s , i have had 5 in the past and loved them all but the 4.2 V8 was just getting silly to fill up with a 90 litre tank and a range of about 400 on a good day it was time to go to a oil burner so lets hope she lives up to the write ups

Ah ok similar to what i did on my old audi then its just that i saw a front set of the lights on ebay Skoda Superb Bi Xenon Headlights with AFS Item number: 180680709637 thought these might have the ballasts inside the light assembly and thought that it may have the wiring loom already in the car and would just have exchange these for the origonal units and change the light switch to include one with height adjust :p starting bid £400 as for VCDS is this similar to VAG-com ? a system which i have and use for servicing audis , i believe this works on skodas as well but have not tried it before , but i know it supports OBD II :|

Hi all just wondered if anybody knows if the xenon headlight assemblys are plug and play, or are more parts required. Just thinking about upgrading as i don`t believe the se spec that i just bought ,and collect on sunday has this option :no:

Many thanks for the answer will look into that cheers

Hi got a se spec superb , without the bluetooth connection . what is going to be the best way to get hands free connection for my phone , i have a htc desire many thanks but am coming from a 13 year old car which never had any of the tech available today , and i have never used a hands free kit before so any advice greatly appreciated

Well took the plunge today got a 170 cr se with the manual box on a 60 plate 8000 on the clock pick it up next week can`t wait looking forward to happy skoda motoring
