Moving to an Superb III
4x4 system needs a service every 20-30k I’d say. Haldex oil change and filter clean. Mine was shot when I brought it at 30k but had replaced under warrantee, haldex plates are made of blamanche. Dsg oil change every 40k. Afaik cambelt is 4 years 100k. If you travel lots of distance the 4x4 dsg sportline 190 is ace. That’s what I have. If you don’t do a lot of distance the 4x4 sportline 280 is a beast. 2wd Is generally better on fuel by about 5mpg. If you want more grunt, diesel maps to around 230bhp and 500nm. Petrol 280 is 360bhp with stg 1. Petrol 220 would map to around 300bhp.

Spot on mate. I put 20’s on and it just didn’t feel right. I run 12mm on the superb with 19’s now but they are a 46 offset and the Octy is 51. So I run the old octavia pictoris 18” wheels with winters on and 15mm spacers. Still looks right too

Yep 15 all round works well mate and you’ll not regret the H&R’s. If it’s a facelift model I think the rear was wider than pre fl so you might find 10mm on rear will do it

I would go with H&R every time mate.. have used them on several cars including the octavia and now the superb and they are a nice compromise between comfort and practicality and handling. Have had mine fully loaded several times in the uk and Europe and it’s been spot on

Disc and pads
Really simple mate. AUTODOC app and order brembo coated discs and pads. If you want an up rated pad. Go for the brembo xtra option

Roof bars and box
Cheap Lidl universal bars and a 170 Exodus roof box. Biggest they do. It’s vast and is quite happy on an autobahn at ‘some speed’

Tried tuning
No complains here on my superb sportline with racingline. Used shark for my octavia and it was faultless so went to Ben (shark) at racingline when I needed the superb done and it is beautiful. Diesel obvs. also yes good reports of big fish tuning too and very good value for money

Remap - Steering weight
It’s in vcds defo and it’s about how much assistance you want it to have. Not sure what the channels are now but I can have a look if you like and let you know. It does make a difference but very subtle

Esc and traction control speed threshold
So. Managed to vcds code the esc and traction control to totally off with a long press. However it still annoyingly comes back on when I get to 60mph. Car is a superb sportline 4x4 with front assist Have asked on the superb bit but no one in there appears to be modding lol. Booooring so has anyone on here had this issue and anyway it can be switched off and stay off regardless of speed. This would be most useful for trips to a certain place Germany if you know what I mean
