  1. @Gizmo - I was reading the very long thread started by you ("S3 Winter wheel...") so am I right that to be legit/OEM recommendations I should follow the table: 215/60 R16 95V on 6 ½”x 16” ET41 215/55 R17 94W on 7”x17” ET40 or 6 ½”x17” ET41 235/45 R18 94W on 8”x18” ET44 235/40 R19 96W on 8”x19” ET44 So for example I could find a wheel 8J x 19 ET44 and then would buy a 235/40 R19 96W tyre to match? Or 6.5J x 16 ET41 and fit a 215/60 R16 95V tyre? If the above is right for my SUPERB (ESTATE 2.0 TSI L&K 5dr DSG 2017) then I feel a bit more confident about shopping around...or even Ebay! If anyone can answer the above that would be great. Thanks
  2. So I rang mytyres and they do not sell steel wheels that will fit my superb :( I assumed as it was quite a common car there would be no problem - but I guess people don't like steel wheels and only want alloys. Bugger!
  3. Thanks @Bud I would rather go new. For some reason on mytyres it won't find my car if I am looking for steel wheels. After selecting Skoda then Superb 2.0 TSI it gives me the choice of 2: 3T 1984ccm 147 kW BJ.: 07.2008-02.2015 3T 1984ccm 147 kW BJ.: 09.2009-02.2015 Neither of which seem right as mine is a 17 plate or am I being dense? Thanks!
  4. Thanks @Bud and @Smileyman for your help. @Gizmo : You're right it was a typo for "215/60 R16 99V" HOWEVER it is a 2.0 petrol (SUPERB ESTATE 2.0 TSI Laurin & Klement 5dr DSG). So I guess Mr.Winterwheels is wrong in its suggestions. Maybe I should speak to their customer service and see if they can recommend something. It soooo bloody confusing. Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI 2015 onwards doesn't seem to come up on wheel searches now that I am looking correctly (i.e. TSI not TDI!) Appreciate your help. Thanks.
  5. Hi there I am getting myself slightly lost with tyres and wheels! I have read the winter tyre/wheel sticky but still slightly lost and am looking for advice. I have a newish Skoda Superb III (2017) L&K. I believe it is running 18" Pegasus alloys (8Jx18 ET44). At least once a year, sometimes twice I drive to Switzerland for skiing. Previously I have bought winter tyres but now with the new car I thought it would be better to buy wheel and tyre package to make it cheaper to fit etc; especially as I am happy to go for smaller cheaper wheels as it's just for a few weeks a year. So my question is: 1. Would you agree with getting a wheel/tyre package rather than just tyres? 2. Could anyone recommend a package that would fit. I went to mrwinterwheels.co.uk and found Kronprinz 16" SKODA SUPERB (3T) STEEL WINTER WHEELS with 250/60 R16 Duraturn Mozzo Winter 99V tyres all in for £370 which seemed pretty good. However on willtheyfit it didn't seem to match up perfectly: EXISTING NEW Diameter 668.7mm 664.4mm Circumference 2100.8mm 2087.3mm Poke 57.6mm 41.6mm Inset 145.6mm 123.6mm Speedo error 0% 0.65% Reading at 30mph 30mph 30.19mph Reading at 60mph 60mph 60.39mph Ride height gain 0mm -2.15mm Arch gap loss 0mm -2.15mm So I am getting really confused! Any help really appreciated. Thanks. PS (Apologies if this should be in tyres forum or super forum) Let me know and I can move it.
  6. Hi there. Hoping someone can help after the satnav working perfectly for the last 2 or 3 years it has suddenly stopped storing data. By this I mean last destinations, favourite destinations, roadblocks etc; It seems to save the information but then loses it when the key is out of the ignition. Even stranger is that if I go into Setup -> Reset -> Reset Navigation memory - all the stored data dissapears. But again when I restart the car they all come back again. Anyone heard of this happening before or have any potential solutions? Many thanks in advance. PS In case it helps I am on: Firmware 4024 and Maps 7918
  7. I have Superb II 2.0 Estate Elegance and have paired my Galaxy 2 mobile with no problem. The issue I have though is that randomly when I turn the engine on the Phone menu on the maxidot disappears I can still access the phone via the Columbus and still receive calls no problem - but I can do nothing via the Maxidot. Unfortunately this means no phone settings and no text messages. It is really bizarre. I have actually seen the menu option disappear in front of me when going from power on but engine off to turning the engine on. If the menu does disappear it will then remain unavailable until the next time I restart the engine. I would say this happens about 50% of the time and I can not for the life of me work out why. A helpful chap on here used his VCDS when I first got the car and thought there might be some power/fuse issues with the car which I need to get check out but thought I would check here in case anyone had any ideas. Thanks in advance.
  8. 2 things. Firstly thanks for the quick and informative reply. Secondly - I am between Ledbury and Tewkesbury! so if you are willing I would love to take you up on the kind offer. Should only be a 20 min drive in my nice new(ish) car!
  9. I have just purchase a used Skoda Superb II 2.0 Estate Elegance trim. First registered 17/06/2010. My phone (Galaxy 2) doesn't work with it and the maps only accept a 4 digit postcode. I have spent as much time as possible on this forum but have been getting very lost. I understand that to solve both of my problems I need to update the firmware. To do that I need to know what the current version is. To do that I need to access the Secret Menu. Unfortunately my version is obviously too old as I just get the AM/FM Radio options and nothing else. So can someone tell me what my next step should be? Is my only option to get the dealer to upgrade it? If so how much should I expect to pay? I have already paid too much that I could afford for the car and slightly worried about having to shell out further! Many thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been asked a hundred times - I did search - honest!
