Spring has sprung

Dear All,

I've been getting some odd noises from the front suspension from my '02 Octavia tdi lately.

After some investigation a friend and I found that the drivers front suspension spring had broken a one end.

The current suspension is OK for normal journeys but I travel mostly across B roads with half a dozen bad sleeping policemen (a road calming measure!) in the road.

I need something that will give me road traction plus better anti body roll without inducing spine shattering ride.

What I'm planning to do is to completely replace my suspension and possibly my anti-roll bar, but I do not want to loose ride height because of the bumps in the road.

Could anybody give me some suggestions about what manufacturers I should look at?

Regards

Dave

Lane assist coding with Car Scanner for Superb FL 2019

Rafal78 · 11 hours ago11 hr

Hi guys. I tried to code lane assist for my 2019 SUPERB FL using Icar pro Vgate and car scanner pro. Lane assist is showing on dashboard and in the options but it doesn't work. The icon is yellow, car displays message that it is not currently available. What did I miss... A5 camera is 2Q0980653. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks! Maybe there is someone with Obd11 in Shrewsbury area wilkingvto help if car scanner can't perform this coding?

Repeated daily Infotainment update issues

yesman · 9 hours ago9 hr

Hi all, Anyone else getting repeat Infotainment updates that don't appear to be installing, I'm getting this problem on my 2024 Superbs Infotainment unit nearly every day, when I look on the Information tab I can see the updates and when it says they're installed, and a prompt to say the installation will be active the next time the car is started, so all looks correct. But literally the next day I'll get another message on the screen to say updates are available and ready to install, and the sa

Flat Battery in Key Fob - Warning

TheAardvark · Monday at 18:331 day

My recent (non-Skoda) cars have given dashboard warnings when the battery in the key fob runs down. This gives the driver the opportunity to change the battery and to keep the key functional. The battery in my Superb's key fob recently ran down, and it went from fully operational (working the button "plip" as well as the keyless entry) to completely flat during the course of a day at work. No warnings were displayed. I was unable to plip the car open, and had to walk to a shop, purchase a ne

Outback going, what next?

Aspman · Monday at 11:231 day

After dropping a wodge on the Outback for a new battery only for the tailgate issues to immediately recur and funnily enough for a internet search to suddenly (wasn't before) flag that there is a persistent and long standing Subaru issue with a parasitic battery drain via the telematics module. Basically the car continually tries to phone home and drains the battery, the tailgate control module is acutely sensitive to voltage meaning that if the car has sat for more than a day (sometime less) th
