Rear Wiper On Estate.
Turning off the wiping in reverse option stopped the rear wiper operating randomly on my Kodiaq. It’s hardly a hardship to flick the rear wiper when reversing to stop the annoying random rear wipe operation. Turning off the Auto wipers in the rain deactivates the auto front wiper function.

Missing tools
Tool used on some models, not sure about Superb, to remove section of grill to allow towing eye to be screwed in.

Interior light.
Maybe like me, everyone else is happy how it is and never looked into changing anything.

OBD2 PORT Light
Bonus. So if you download the Carista app, you will be able to scan for faults yourself

Battery removal for charging NOT changing
Using that method without the battery being present would only result in the drivers door being locked. I believe there are covers on each door that can be removed to allow emergency locking of the other doors, but could prove to be a bit of a faff.

Octavia 3 4x4 2.0TDI 150hp 2016 Brake Disc Size
I changed from 288 to 312 discs on my previous Yeti. Very easy swap, and does make a difference to braking performance. All you need is to change the calliper carriers and the 312 discs. 17” wheels are fine with 312 discs, my 16” winter wheels fitted with no problem.

Superb TSI Service - Sump access
Obviously your choice of garage is not up on VAG cars then, as they would have the proper tool. Make you think would they have used VW approved oil. I would find a local VAG specialist for future work.

Light configuration
If you want the auto lights to come on early ( when it’s just starting to get dark) then select early. If you want them to come on when it’s darker, select later. Cant make it any simpler than that.

Light configuration
It determines how early or late the auto lights switch on.

Active cylinder management?
I would think a 150hp 250 Nm turbo engine would manage just fine.

Increasing tyre profile. Issues on a 2009 Roomster?
A 40mm or 1.5” in old money is hardly a small increase in dia.

Instrumental and Needle light
As above, it’s a reminder that you should have your headlights on, and not be driving around in the dark with the parking lights on. Just put the headlight switch in the auto position and you won’t get this problem.

Want SE L Kodiaq spec but 5 seater
There’s actually not much difference in load space between a 5 seater with spare wheel and a 7 seater. The SE spec is pretty sparse, and you cannot add LED headlights that are standard on the SEL.

Moll car battery at 11.79V - normal?
Checking the battery voltage once you’ve unlocked, opened the bonnet and woken up systems will not give a reliable indication of state of charge.

Front assist problems please help
The only times the front assist warning has came up on my car are when the radar sensor has been covered in snow ice, and once when a wet leaf managed to stick to sensor. I believe if the radar unit gets very dirty it has the same effect.

Do you have a tow bar fitted?

Parking Brake
You should never have the car holding on the gearbox parking pawl on its own, without the handbrake being on. When parking, the handbrake should be applied before selecting park, and when setting off you should select drive before releasing the handbrake, or just use the autohold system.

Clutch kit 1.6tdi
I don’t know, but going by the number of slave cylinder problems that have been posted, and that it’s a gearbox out job, I would be tempted to replace it anyway.
