Oh damn...On cold start, Superb started act weird and revs jumping + vibration all over the car. Done video about the current situation. It ends about few minutes.

On ordinary maintenance in march, they also scanned car for errors and on invoice there is info "EGR valve random errors on memory" - but then I didnt noticed any abnormal behavior until now...

 

 

What to expect ?

Okay...I hope now is the last problem solved

 

05.04.23 - During a cold start, the machine tended to cough and revs jupmped. Diagnostics were performed and the glow plug control relay was replaced, OEM: 04L 907 282 B

02.04.23 - I succumbed to the temptation and finally bought OBD Eleven - so that I could check the machine with my own hands if it seems a little sour. I have played with it a bit and I would say that the 60€ is worth it  

 

 

The machine has been ticking so far on the OEM battery. Battery Varta 7P0915105 68Ah 380A.
On the minus terminal of the battery, information that the production date is December 2018

 

However, I decided to change the battery and chose EXIDE EK720 72 Ah 760 A

During the purchase, I investigated whether it is possible to get a battery whose production time is not very far. The code on the new battery was E811-339, so now I needed to understand, when the battery was manufactured.
Exide made changes in reading the year of manufacture of the battery to 2021, and you have to look at the last three numbers, which is 339 at the moment, which means:

first number 3 = year of production, i.e. 2023
39 = March

Basically I got a battery that had just stepped off the line

The battery was changed today and also deactivated start-stop.

In the meantime, the weather was getting so summery that, sitting inside, you wanted to blow a little cooler air. To my surprise, it was lukewarm. The machine uses a newer type of substance, R-1234YF.
The whole process took 45 minutes on the device, 0.460 kg of refrigerant was loaded and the bill was €95. The majority of places charge at least €120. The agency charges €185 for the same work.

 

 

Time-to-time, when scanning with OBDEleven I get NOx error: P20EE00 - SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 Catalyst 1 Intermittent

No dash warning and car driver normally.

 

My question is - where to begin to solve this error ?

Updated infotainment: MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4518 1240  -->  MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526 1440

Bought CTEK Battery Sense to have an overview of the battery. Install and pair with the phone was really easy!

How hard was it to update the MIB2 unit?

 

There is no issues with mine, but it would b nice to update it.

 

This is mine now:-

 

Software number: 3V0035045D

Software version: 0942

Hardware number: 3V0035045

Hardware version: H50

 

It wasn't hard at all and went faster than I thought it would take.

After update scanned with OBD11 and it found error, but can't remember, what exactly it was, but got fixed by changing parameters.

Today was the 1st year of owning a Superb. Overall satisfaction is high. It really is a good car!

Annual mileage came 11500 km and long-time average on screen is 5.1 L/100km.

 

Total mileage: 116 927 km.

 

 

So which type of shock absorbers do you have,

standard, or software adjustable (DCC)?
