I haven't got a wiring diagram for a Superb to hand but I'd expect it to be identical to my Octavia when I retrofitted xenons as I believe they use the same AFS master. The format is connector/pin so for example T26e/6 is pin 6 on connector T26e: - T26e/6 to T4e/4 - T26e/12 to T4e/1 - T26e/25 to T4e/2 T4e will be the connector for the front sensor, T26e will be the connector for the AFS master. At a guess, the AFS master is in the centre console behind the HVAC panel, at least that's the position for the Octavia

As you have xenons, you need to keep the AFS module as that does the self-levelling to keep them road-legal and MOT worthy. Based on the above, I'd agree that the wiring to the front sensor maybe damaged and I'd run three new wires between the level sensor and AFS master to rule that out

If that's a cat scratching post behind it, then very shortly I expect there will be a cat in the box

Good shout, could be electric range based on this image for a e-golf:

Take a look at the VCDS owners map, I'm sure a local member would be happy to code the new battery in for you

Looking online, there are certainly scans from both Superbs and Kodiaqs with a 565035021B headunit fitted. At least one Superb, seems to have the same headunit with newer software installed (1240 vs 1163) as per this scan: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/18783/#post-165899 No idea if it'll help the gapless issue. A dealer might perform the update although I expect @pab567 might be a better bet...

This isn't something I've massively looked in to as I'm happy to be corrected, still, from a quick google I believe the following is correct. If a vehicle has towbar prep, there will be a connector in an appropriate location to take a towing module. If this is the case, you'd need a kit similar to https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174195333679 which appears to include the module and the towbar side of the electronics. If a vehicle does not have towbar prep, there will be no wiring present so you'd either need to buy the additional loom or create your own. Obviously you'd need to check for a Yeti but I'd guess at: - between 2 and 4 power feeds taken from various empty fuse holders - a ground or 2 - twisted pair for CAN-bus - many wires to the towbar socket edit: It'll probably be the same as a MK2 Superb which I found the image below for. Basically, many fuses, CAN-hi/lo (C15/C16) and the brake light switch (C17):

Alas, any OE towing module install will involve connecting to the appropriate CAN-bus somewhere so as I'm sure you're aware, you're asking for the impossible When I add modules to an existing CAN-bus, I tend to de-pin an existing connector so I can use proper connectors rather than a 'splice' or scotchlock. There should be no risk of compromising the rest of vehicle if done properly. Anything fitted badly can cause issues! As for modules, looking on eBay, you can pick up a used one from around £45 and a new one from around £100. That is based on a 1K0 907 383 F module as fitted to this 2016 Yeti: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/9424/#post-87601 On an older car with no ESC/ESP I'd be tempted to fit a bypass module, on anything with ESC/ESP, I'd only ever want a properly fitted OE module but I'd most likely fit it myself

I can't remember the last time I played music from a SD card. Still, if you can upload the files somewhere, I'm happy to try the same experiment on a MIB2.5 Amundsen running SW:0478

I really should remember how long it takes to get from one end of Wales to the other... Newport is almost the same travelling time from here as it is Bangor. Might be worth checking the VCDS owners map for someone closer?

If I remember correctly, high beam assist shows as "light assist" in the headunit menus. It basically turns the main/high beam on and off when the front facing camera detects other cars. There are certainly a few things that can be enabled or tweaked depending on the original spec of the car. Given you're in Wales, I'd suggest you give @SashaGrace a shout as she knows here way round these cars very well

Another 245 vRS 'edition' in meteor grey, it's an '18 plate with DCC. Picked it up on Wednesday and been busy with VCDS, current tally is: - Cornering fogs - Traffic sign recognition - High beam assist (with memory) - Refuel volume - Highway and rain AFS modes - Virtual sub/surround - Offroad mode display - Fan speed in auto mode - No driving mode LED - Easy entry I've also ordered a 'highline' rear view camera and a virtual cluster to retrofit in the coming weeks Obligatory pic:

I'm sure I recall other people having similar issues with this generation of car and that there is a software update that may help?

I hadn't even noticed the SW and HW versions were different, noob moment

I have: Address 09: Cent. Elect. (J519) Labels:. 5Q0-937-08X-V2.clb Part No SW: 5Q0 937 084 CQ HW: 5Q0 937 084 CG Component: BCM MQBAB H H36 0253 So if CG was a typo or being between CG and DD is suitable, I may have a chance. Must stop planning retrofits, only had the car two days

RGB foot lighting you say... Would that be retrofittable to a MK3 Octavia? edit: Seems so...

That does seem an implausible temperature I don't know how your diagnostic kit labels the sensors but I know VCDS saw 4 temperature sensors on my CR140 although 'EGR temp 2' didn't seem to be fitted and always reported 0'C. The highest temperature I'd expect after the DPF is around 600-700 based on some old log data I have. If the sensor is cheap, I'd start by replacing that to see if the data is more plausible. If so, you may still need to get the DPF cleaned but at least it (hopefully) won't block up immediately again.

@pab567 - The Octavia took the update perfectly, thank you! Do you have any firmware for Seat headunits? I believe there is a 0515 update for this:

Hey @pab567, do you have an update for: Thanks!

Which headunit do you have as each one takes different maps

Pretty sure VCDS lite can communicate with a Felicia although you might need an adaptor on 1997 and earlier cars. I've no idea what data you'll be able to access or change as I've never tried to connect to a car that old. You'll also need to pay $99 to access the full functionally from VCDS-lite: https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/index.php Carista have a compatibility checker https://caristaapp.com/vehicles which suggests it'll be OK on the Octavia but not the Felicia.

Nope - KKL cables and VCDS lite are not suitable for CAN based cars

Depends what you mean by a reasonable amount - A new genuine HEX-V2 (3 VIN) will be around £225 so that's probably too much. - A used genuine HEX-V2 might be around £150-200 with 1 or 2 VIN's left. Others use Carista or OBDeleven and are closer to the £50 mark but I've never used either. You might also find it's cheaper to find a local member with VCDS, most are happy to perform scans and coding changes depending what you are trying to do...

Pretty sure that won't be any use on your MK2 Octavia as it doesn't communicate with CAN-bus based cars

It might, I know when I tried mine out of the car the touchscreen was pants unless I touched part of the metal case...
