[Ignition barrel code reader removal help plz]

this problem will come up from time to time, as it did for me recently; so I thought I would add what I discovered.

 

My immobiliser aerial did NOT pop out as easily as demonstrated in the videos around.  What fixed two days of frustration and a whole bunch of unnecessary removal of steering column parts was making a Pin "Tool" out of a Philips head mini screw driver.  In the end, after 5 paperclips, a hex key and stabbed fingers, the Philips head screw driver did the job second go.  But, I had to give it a good shove into the hole, and that's the point I wanted to make.  All the paper clips bent, and the hex key was too "blunt" at the end to find the hole within the barrel. 

 

 

 

Hope this helps someone out there.

[VCDS options on Superb III]

has anyone tried the OBD Eleven module?

 

www.obdeleven.com

 

They say they can do long coding with simple drop downs or option selects??

Or is there anyone in Brisbane Australia with a VCDS Programmer ?

Paint Protection In Australia it is similar, but VW and therefore Skoda on the Gold Coast in Queensland offer paint protection the same as Boeing and Mercedes which is the best i have used after approx. 20 brand new cars.

But each to their own.

wow.....u've been busy with ur Superb!!

i too have the Tech and Comfort packs on my 162TSi MY17 Superb

nice plates too.

 

i saw those rear diffusor add-ons from SuperSkoda - i personally don't like them.  hopefully they look much better in real life!

 

i got myself the Sportline diffusor.  much better looking than the original diffusor the 162TSi comes with.

Yep the Sportline diffuser certainly looks the goods.  Nice package!

 

if you would like some front and rear mud flaps let me know, i have them left over after fitting the side skirts, happy to ship them down to ACT for you!

Lols, behind the grille are two red extra horns with LED halo lights, no spotties.

 

i stole the idea from the Subey crew here, added the halos

@BigUU She looks amazing, mate! Where do you get all your parts? That would interest me and probably many others. 

 

My mods are modest (listed elsewhere) but include PedalBox, bright LED lighting for the boot (trunk) folding loading bay mat and a polished stainless loading area bumper protector. All parts from www.superskoda.com 

 

All the best, Rob (Switzerland).

Hi Rob,

Parts were sourced from

SuperSkoda

ebay Australia

eBay UK

Alliexpress

 

Alliexpress seems pretty good, but like many sites just gotta check the pricing.

Steering wheel from eBay UK - about half the price of SuperSkoda

I would prefer a different supplier to Superskoda but there aren't any, for instance the rear side skirts are a different colour to the full side skirts.

The red trim is just a general interior trim found on any eBay site, i chose the red chrome, and used it on the outside as well, in the front grille, the rear bumper and the side body mouldings,

 

Just a lot of time researching, like about three months!!

There are good sites in the European community for parts, but don't seem to speak English and i didn't get replies. (and cheaper)

The rotors came from eBay UK, cant find them now; but the rear rotors were the hardest to source with cross drilling.

Hope it helps

@BigUU   Loving the flip flops  Do they come with the car in Oz or did you buy them after?

 

I would never bother with all that stuff but fair play to you it does look good and nowhere near the x box piccies earlier.

Flip flops the staple of every Aussies wardrobe!

I've modified my Superb... well, I put a bumper protector on it to stop the spaniel damaging it. Get me, super-modder!

sarcasm noted.....

 

[The Superb III Picture thread]

To be honest, while the Superb is truly SUPERB, its a bit disappointing not seeing any real mods or hot rod Superbs.  What do you guys think?

It seems that Superskoda and a very few other suppliers do bits and pieces but nothing like that has been done to the Arteon for instance.  I will post pictures this arvo of what i have done to my Superb, (get it detailed first!!)

 

in the meantime this is what i mean about the Arteon, this is NOT a hate thread......

yeah I'm not up to speed with Android os, just thought the size was good.  They have other newer versions, too many to list really.

Did you lower your superb JR ?

if so, does it have active suspension?

i'm looking to lower my Superb, but would rather keep my active suspension?  I thought maybe just manufacturing some new brackets to locate the height sensor lower, but wondered if there was another way?
