Max roof bar width for estate
127 cm fitted, no chance of 135 cm fitting as there's less than 2 cm adjustment on each side at the rear. The new 7104 feet are much easier to fit/remove than the old 775's Before with 118 cm bars After with 127 cm bars

'Sleep package' rear headrests
Do they come down further than shown in the simply clever picture above?

Max roof bar width for estate
I bought the 127cm bar today and splashed out on the new 7104 feet. Just tried them up to the car on each side at the back. The distance between the 2 mounting points is just short of 84cm, so based on the image above the 135cm bar won't fit.

Thanks I'll do that. Do you have any pictures of them folded down, it would be good to see how far they go

'Sleep package' rear headrests
I've been looking at these again for the other rear seat and found the sleep package version, not cheap! https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/3v0885901fbgs-headrest-skoda-51563.html https://www.oemvwshop.com/3v0885901f-bgs-head-restraint-skoda-superb-with-sleep-package-function-satin-black-tellur-grey-p2528256/?sti=14056767

Max roof bar width for estate
The recommended width for the hatchback is 135cm so should look fine, it's only 8.5cm wider each side than the 118cm. https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php?emulate=roofbar&query=8320&vptype=645079&brand=Thule%20WingBar%20black The restriction for the estate will be down to how Thule make the bar, eg you can only mount the feet up to 25cm from the end of the bar. We mount on the rail which is further in than where the mounts will be on a hatchback so the width is restricted

Thanks, 127 it is then, a pair just popped up locally cheap too so will go for them.

Max roof bar width for estate
Hi, what is the max roof bar width people are using for the estate? I have 118cm Thule Wingbars that I also had on my Octavia but I swap and change the cycle mounts and roofbox regularly so want to get the newer Wingbar Evos with the intergrated rubber to save faffing about. I'm sure 127cm would be fine, has anyone got 135cm bars?

Thule Allax threshold compatible L compact dog crate
Hi, I'm looking at the Thule Allax threshold compatible L compact dog crate for my estate. Does anyone on here actually have one in their estate? I was wondering what the fit was like. https://www.travellingwithpets.co.uk/products/tu770014

Air conditioning
They do! £90 for the re-gas is good though. I ended up paying way more than that for the convenience of getting it done quick at my local VAG specialist.

Have a look on Groupon, they often have good deals for re-gassing at local garages https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/protyre-2-1

Air conditioning
I had my '22 done last week, it seems better but in the heatwave I could barely feel the difference between a/c and no a/c. I tested mine with a meat thermometer, highly scientific, if you put a meat thermometer into a vent on full power a/c then after a few minutes it should be 6-10 degrees. Mine was 7 degrees, I did the same test with a/c off and it was about 19.

I have a couple of hatchback accessories to give away
The boot floor will fit the estate too I would think. I bet that would be gone quick if you change the title

Weird noise from a/c superb 3
That is exactly what I got when taking it to the dealer, "we can take the dash out to investigate but you may have more noise after". I just live with it now https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/532730-interior-fan-motor-noise/#findComment-5945954 They did give me an extended warranty of 2 years in that area though so I can go back if it gets worse

Skoda Superb III dog guard fitted to car Panoramic Sunroof
Guardsman fit with the pan roof. I'm considering them for mine or a Thule crate when he outgrows his 4pets crate https://www.guardsmandogguards.co.uk/product-category/skoda/skoda-superb-estate-mk3-2015-2023-onwards/ This is the Thule crate that fits, need the threshold version due to the boot drop https://www.travellingwithpets.co.uk/products/tu770014 I wanted the Travall one too as it has the door add-on. I'm not sure if anyone has tried fitting one as they look adjustable

Retrofit Reverse Camera
I got mine from autologics, all genuine parts. They came and fitted in < 2 hrs. They didn't calibrate it though with the ground sheet but it all works fine, had it for 2 yrs now https://www.autologics.co.uk/Skoda-Reverse-Camera

Update my car from 0156 to 0306
I tried this today with VCDS and I got errors. Firstly it said it was an uninitialised module and suggested adding the default workshop codes, then with those i got this error. My initial values for those 3 bottom fields were 00000/000/00000. Has anyone come across this before? I got the correct new code from the mib-helper site

Option to enable/disable dynamic LED rear indicators.
Ah, just checked and it does have them at night. Maybe not permanently on though

Mine is a facelift 2022 Sportline, I would have thought it would work with my front indicators

Option to enable/disable dynamic LED rear indicators.
Just checked mine with VCDS, I had Richtungs_blinken_links and Richtungs_blinken_rechts active already. Setting ZV_Blinken_auf and ZV_Blinken_zu enables sweeping indicators when unlocking and locking. It only does it on my rear lights though.

Found this. There's a video showing sweeping front indicators when arming/disarming the alarm. https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/iq-lights-enable-dynamic-turn-signals-via-obdeleven-drl-on-off-via-menu.9494777/

I'm not sure, it translates as directional indicator. I'll try it tomorrow, what could go wrong 🤣
-
Option to enable/disable dynamic LED rear indicators.
Just enabled it on mine using VCDS (Rollenblinken), no idea why it wasn't enabled by default. I can barely notice it though, it seems only the outer lights sweep whilst the lights on the boot lid still flash. Does anyone know what Richtungsblinken actually does?
