Creaking noise on slow manoeuvre fix
SPF4175K for the front bush. SPK4176K for the rear two bush, or SPL5592K if you upgraded to alloy subframe.

Just buy the bushes for Golf. Bushes are the same.

Creaking noise on slow manoeuvre fix
It can be physically fit onto the car. But it doesn't mean it fits the car. Superpro doesn't have a lower control arm for Superb (or Passat, Arteon). It should be very easy for you to find superpro poly bushes on eBay.

Fuel reserve
Last time I ran out of petrol, my car told me there was 15 KM range left. I even saw someone said his car stopped when there was 30km range left in the FB group.

I end up running with poly bushing together with oe Superb LCA. All good now.

2015 280 Low Coolant
The thermostat and water pump in this engine is guaranteed to failed🤣 Even you replace it now, it will still fail again. Some aftermarket water pump has a better quality.

You can still replace the OE rubber bushings with poly bushings. My front suspension is full poly now.

Creaking noise on slow manoeuvre fix
I'm the Aussie guy who had TRC1070 on my Superb and then removed it. I can confirm the arms for Golf are shorter than the ones on Superb. I also did some calculation: The front track on a Golf R MK7.5 is 1537mm. The OEM wheels on MK7.5 are et50, So the distance from left disc to right disc is 1637mm. The front track on Superb is 1578mm, supernova wheels are et44. The distance between two discs is 1666mm. AFAIK, the subframe on Golf R and Superb are actually the same size, correct me if I am wrong. In this case, two arms on Superb are 29mm longer than Golf R's arms in total. So each is 14.5mm longer. Which 100% match the number you showed here.

KW DCC dampers from Passat B8
They should be fine. As far as I know, all MQB platform cars use the same Monroe DCC strut. Springs and DCC turning are variable depends on the cars and models.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Not today, but last weekend. So I scratched one of my rear alloy pretty badly two weeks ago. I could not find any color-match paint for the wheel. In the end, I decided to paint all four wheels into silver. Have to say, the silver is not what I thought at the beginning. It is too white-ish to me, not that cold/metalic-ish silver. But the final result is not bad at all.

Front ECS strut mounts
I had 034 street density mounts on my car for a while. They do amplify the suspension noise. It developed some minor knocking noise at low speed.

Creaking and groaning suspension : non active suspension
I replaced my original top mounts (4 years 40k kms on the car, 1.5 years and 15 kms with Eibach lower springs) with 034 street density mounts, the creaking sound totally gone. But the 034 mounts did amplify some other suspension noise. it developed a mild knocking sound at low speed (below 40km/h). Then I replaced them with a set of Sachs mounts, all good now.

Maxton design parts
I have maxton diffuser and rear splitters on my car. Diffuser is gloss black, splitters are plastic finish. Installation is pretty straightforward, as long as you have some basic tools, it is an easy DIY job. I also cut and modified the splitters. As you can see from the pics, they are basically flush with the bottom of the bumper. The original design is a bit too boy-racer to my tastes.

IS38 swap on the list!

The Superb III Picture thread
Wheels are Koya SF10, basically the same design as HRE P101 (and new RS3's OEM wheels). And yes car is sitting on Eibach pro-kit springs.

Not Riegers. I sourced the sideskirts from China, and did some mods on them. The one you pointted is MK8 Golf's wheel arch spoiler, or fender flare, or whatever they called....

Additional Jack Points
8N0804583 for the rubber pad, 8N0803855 for the insert. They need to work as pair.

DSG Reset (Basic Settings)
Yes and no. They are all DQ250, but with different sub-name (like the 0D9 in your table). They might share 99% of the components, but as I said, the gear ratios in them are different. Don's dealer wants to do a comparison test with another car. In this case, they have to find another car with the EXACTLY same gearbox. Any difference in gear ratio will make the test less trustworthy since the RPM differences between 1st gear and 2nd gear are not the same now. Other than hardware (gear ratios), I think I saw someone said the software (tuning) was not the same. One tuned toward more smooth, one tuned toward more direct and fast shifting. But just saying, I'm not 100% sure about it. You always want to compare apples to apples.

DSG Reset (Basic Settings)
Since they are not exactly the same box. DQ250 in 206TSI is a high final gear version. And the gear ratios are totally different.

Rear door operation.
Some other VAG products have the red hatch closing buttom. The only difference between the red version and white version... is one is red while the other is white. I guess someone replaced the buttom for you without telling you (during service ect).

Tyres annoyance....
235/35/19s are not OEM 272/280 tyre size as well bro. The OEMs size are 235/40/19. 245/40/19s are only 1.1% larger than the OEMs in diameter. While 235/35/19 are 4% smaller than OEMs. And consider the speed shown on the speedometer is actually higher than real speed (100km/h on speedometer while the real speed is 97ish), go with 245/40/19 is a much better option than go with 235/35/19.

Better to go with 245/40/19. Smaller diameter change, more sidewall, more tyre width.

TBO I have no idea too🤪. Potential some mileage gain. Maybe reduce some wind noise. Maybe stable the rear end a bit on the highway. And maybe do nothing. I haven't driven the car after installing them. I do it because 1. easy to install, finished two within half an hour; 2. Some MK7 Golf owners on the Golf forum posted some good feedback; 3. relative inexpensive, two covers plus all the clips cost less than 10 iceberg lettuce here in Australia😂. So, why not 🤣
