Hi,

Please help !

I have little knowledge when it comes to cars. Now the Xenon light is not working and the mechanic says it is the ballast that is faulty. It is expensive to buy a new ballast, but bought a replacement from car-parts shop. 1. Please advise or indicate if there is a manual I can follow to do it myself? 2. Also, advise me on the procedure to disconnect and reconnect the main car battery while changing the ballast.

Your support is very much appreciated.

Tool kit foam insert

ironduke87 · 20 hours ago20 hr

Bit of a long shot here. I have very recently bought a 66 plate Superb estate, which came with a steel 16" spare in the boot. It also came with the foam insert and tool kit for the 18" wheel, which obviously doesn't work. Does anyone have the foam insert from an old 16" sat around that they would be prepared to sell? The garage I bought from were not the most helpful, and I don't think that is likely to change any time soon. Cheers in advance.

New software available version 1989

MartinOctavia1969 · 18 September, 202518 Sep

I got just the new software version 1989. Curious what's it is gonna bring. Already satisfied with 1985 but i love gadgets and up to date materials. One thing from the beginning with software 1969 til now mine park to pay or pay to park still not working. But i am not using that anyway to prices of parking are ridiculous. So i hope this one is even better then 1985 we will see.

Driver's window starting to 'tap' - regulator issue ?

Prezafab · 14 minutes ago14 min

I pressed and held down all four window switches the other day when I put the dog in the car from the kennels. I don't know if I've over-strained something by holding the driver's button down for 2 seconds too long, because there's a feint tapping noise now and the auto function has stopped. Do I just try the 5 second reset trick or have I knackered something?

How to set up two users on a 2025 Superb L&K

JohnELG · Friday at 15:224 days

We have just bought a second hand L&K and wish to set up two users like we did on our 2016 version but cannot work out how to do it. It seems to need a smart phone but I don't have one nor do I wish to use one. Microsoft Copilot gives lots of advice but none work (Pretty much normal for Copilot). Seat positions are OK with the buttons at the side but I like things such as distance units in SI whereas my wife likes imperial. Any advice how we can set the machine up?

Jim Reire · 25 May25 May

Hi all, Skoda Kodiak 4x4 AWD, and Skoda Kodiak front wheel drive....what codes or description spec's etc. differentiate between them ? My problem is that while my newest purchase of a 2020 Skoda Kodiak , 150 HP and Front wheel drive, is a delight in every way, my car insurance has gone through the roof, and when I queried it, I was informed that one of then reasons for the increase (more than.€200) is that its a 4x4 AWD. The problem is, there is only front wheel drive, and the rear wheels are f
