Removing the battery and Columbus
Mechanical Numpty posted a topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
As is usual for this time of year my 5 year old battery has packed up on cue. I've got a Varta on order as recommended by other topics. I'm gonna give my current (pun intended) battery a quick charge overnight which means removing the battery will I need to get a code to restart the Columbus system at all? As on other models I've owned previously that has been the case. -

@Numskull did you have to purchase resistors for these? -

Do you keep your wallet in your back pocket whilst driving? I used to got leg pain too until I started taking it out, I'm the same height/weight too -
LED Bulb Upgrades for Superb II
Mechanical Numpty replied to nczernus's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Will, Having read this feed with interest myself over the last year it appears to be a bit of a lottery as to whether an "error free" bulb will actually be "error free" because the SII CANBUS system changes depending on the year/model/coding of the vehicle and it's eerily sensitive anyway. Most people either solder in resistors or get something similar to these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401009696161 -

I've never heard/seen of a VRS bumper on a Superb, however SuperSkoda do a DTM style splitter that glues and screws on. http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/SUPERB-II/Superb-II-front-bumper-DTM-spoiler -
Tired of Columbus, what about this?
Mechanical Numpty replied to LasseTheDude's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Have you tried contacting them? Perhaps they have a technical solution, was any coding required? -

It looks smart! Will it fit flush to the Superb dash? Some of the photos of the screen coming out beyond the dash would put me off -
Engine sound and Stop/Start
Mechanical Numpty replied to StuartTunstall's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
Hullo, On point one, i couldn't say I've never been fortunate enough to have such a young motor. But I'd imagine it's just bedding in. On point 2 having driven fords/vauxhalls with stop/start this isn't unusual behaviour and I think it's to prevent battery drain -
Sat Nav firmware/maps versions
Mechanical Numpty replied to sez's topic in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)
In that process at the moment. The dealer thinks Europe West V9 is the latest for my model car a phone call by myself to Skoda UK gave the same result, with a part number of 3T051859M. Does anyone know the part no for V12? -

Thanks for your replies guys. When purchasing my car from a skoda dealer a month ago I neogotiated in a maps update to the most recent version plus the disc should I have any "booting" issues during my ownership. The disc they gave me was "Europe West V7" which going on what Rusty said isn't even close! -

Is Europe West version 7 the latest version? Picked up a superb a month ago and I'm starting to think I'm not running the latest version. -

Thanks for all the help so far. Took it to the dealership today to collect the spare tyre set they hadn't included when I bought the car and they gave it a quick once over. As suggested no power to the port, they said I'd have to come back another day to get it fixed as its a woring issue. The catch is that it's an 80 mile round trip to this dealership. As its a used approved could I pop it into my local skoda and get it fixed under warranty? Or get the dealership to arrange for it to be fixed there?
