Car alarm siren
No I never had any issues with mine. ŠKODA Australia used to have the replacement of the Siren as part of the 6yr / 90,000km service. They no longer replace them as part of the service, as you know the price of these are very expensive. I located one from a "wreck" newer vehicle and just replaced it myself for minimal cost.

Car alarm siren
Having replaced the Siren in both my Passat and Superb, you are in the correct location. Base of the windscreen, in the plenum chamber, remove the plastic cowling and you will see if front and centre. If it is not there, possibly, you do not even have an alarm system, as that is the ONLY location for it on our cars.

PR code for my Superb, to get correct brake discs and pads?
Simple really... 1) Contact your local ŠKODA Dealership (Parts Department), provide your VIN and ask for the front and rear Pads & rotors (part numbers), that way you can cross reference against Brembo, ATE or any other brand of your choice. 2) @JR RS has already provided you the PR Codes that you requested (as per the thread), so there is the answer to your question... 3) And I hope this helps you navigate the parts on the Brembo / ATE website's; Front 312mm x 25mm (vented) / Rear 300mm x12mm (solid) this will be your combination of rotor size. Get this info right and yo will find the product and/or variation that you need that is suitable for your fitment. Unless you have a 272/280 which will be Front 340x30mm (vented) / Rear 310x22mm (vented) Don't over think it...

Replacement Wipers
Regardless of the reason why you needed new wipers, that price seems rather excessive (but I guess that is a sign of the times). Everyone has their preference, but for me the Genuine ŠKODA wipers (Part No. 3V2998001) are affordable (in Australia at least) and do the job well. I would not go aftermarket, have tried and failed before... https://www.theskodashop.co.uk/products/skoda-front-wiper-blade-set-superb-iii

Under-bonnet insulation (silver heat reflective material)
Thanks for your response. I like what you have done, however that was not what I was looking for. I just wanted to see if the TDI version had the silver heat reflective material on the under-bonnet insulation as per the Passat (so from the factory - Genuine part).

Under-bonnet insulation (silver heat reflective material)
Question for ŠKODA Superb TDI owners... Do you have the silver heat reflective material on your under-bonnet insulation as per the picture below (which is my B8 Passat Alltrack for reference)...??? If possible, could you please post a picture for comparison.

The Superb III Picture thread
Looks really great mate! Surprised you didn't wrap the chrome strip on the lower front grill section also!

Phoenix vs Trinity alloys
I think the cross over was around MY18.5. And for what its worth, the part numbers remain the same, so they are the same wheels.

Superb III design flaws
So I replaced (years ago) the two boot lamps and the removable LED torch with items from the Kodiaq (along with the Glovebox light). They are a higher Kelvin light (Cool White) and the two boot lamps are LED (not W5W bulbs as we have in our Superbs)... Genuine Part Numbers: LED Lamp - 8J0947409B (x3) / Connectors - 8W0971832 (x3) / Removable LED Torch - 3T0947417F9B9

206TSI AWD Wagon: Suspension
Because you have to drop the whole front sub frame. Very labor intensive. Best nag for your bucks is the rear, plus these cars are Front Wheel Drive bias, so makes sense starting on the rear...

Interesting that you first asked this question back in July. Anyway, the lift kit you are after is here; https://www.spaccer.com/en_AU/startseite/ Thread on rear sway bar (I have a SuperPro on mine);

Retrofit heated windscreen
A Pillars are not touched during removal. The plugs are at the base of the screen (scuttle panel).

Retrofit heated windscreen
Yes, the wires where already there in the existing loom. The wires from the heating element are a "ribbon" style wire. So I connected them, just in case I decided to get the new A/C Panel and whatever else is required to complete the retrofit. But like I mentioned, I just got it for the "Heat Reflective" properties. Which it does very well.

Retrofit heated windscreen

MKIII Superb heated windscreen.
So I now have the first and only Superb MKIII in Australia with a Heated Windscreen!!! I might also look to get a different Climate Control module and sww about coding in the "Heated" feature. But for me, it was all about the heat rejection properties of the Glass. And it has been proven with light guages for a window tint company that the front glass is equielant of a 35% window film and provided 99.9% UV protection. The window was ordered 28th July and only arrived in Australia on the 12th Nov. The fitment and calibration all went well. Love the look!

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I run genuine rubber mats in both cars (kids do heaps of sports), so much easier to clean. I love the Tunnel Cover in my Superb, shame the Passat doesn't have one available...
