    Soft close electric boot / tailgate issue

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Posted

    So in my attempts to install a rear video camera I had to remove the softclose motor that covers the button.

     

    I haven't managed to piece it back all together and therefore the trim is still undone but not blocking anything. However when I assembled it back together again, I have the feeling when I tested it, it was working fine...

     

    Fast forward maybe 30/40 open closes later some of which were interrupted half way, some were blocked by an obstacle, some were stopped by the key being too close, and some accompanied with beeps I dont normally recognise, I think it isn't operating as it should.. it just closes to not a massive thud but not the elegant way I feel like it use to be... 

     

    The benefit of having all the trim off at the moment is I can see the internals and I can see that the motor tries to turn and then stops, from what I can only assume is because it's already closed.

     

    My question is, just like there is a height setting, is there a close position setting as well? It suddenly started raining and I had my lamp in there, so rather than dismantle everything in torrential rain I closed the boot to as close to as it would close (after several tries) which may have inadvertently set a "new" close position.

     

    Alternatively does anyone know where I can proceed from here? There isn't much information around on the web.

    Reverse camera install help

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Thanks...I'm.having some trouble getting access to the harness.. did you remove the entire glovebox or just pulled down to reveal the fuses.

     

     

    On a side note when you removed the soft close motor, is it working as intended?... Maybe I'm being paranoid after having reinstalled it, I feel like it's not working... I thought it would get close to the end and then slowly close but I get more of thud I can see the motor from the inside begin to turn... But it doesn't get very far, probably because it's already closed... (All the trim is still off... Could it be the end position is messed up? I opened and closed it several times one or two times it made a continuous beep which I just ignored...

     

    Switchable Water Pump

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Posted

    So it is that time of ownership that I have to replace the timing belt. Now I am stuck on if I should use a switchable or non-switchable one.

     

    Skoda-parts say use this: https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/04l121011n-coolant-pump-tdi-cr-skoda-25875.html

     

    I think this is the non-switchable one. Can anyone advise?

     

    Superb 3 (Hatch)

    2.0 Tdi 110kw / 150ps (non 4x4)

    L&K

     

     

    On a side note what would be the engine code for this. I always (wrongly perhaps) thought it was CRLB but I might confusing it with the passat. But looking at the engine list looks more like DFEA, DFEB, DFGA. How can i determine which one it is?

     

    FL MY2021 Lane Assist Coding Possible?

    Thanks a lot for your advise. It works now. It shows orange lines on cockpit, it also keeps the car in the lines, traffic jam assist seems to work as well. the one thing that seems to be missing is in the cluster, when it activates, a green icon (lines) shows and when assist intervines in it supposed to change to orange (meaning it is working) at least that what manual says. Also i activated steering wheel vibration, however i haven't noticed it working. 

    Any idea how to adjust that?

    It goes orange on the maxidot (one with the road and car and lanes) if you go to the driver assist menu. Otherwise it will remain green regardless of it actively adjusting or not. It will go yellow orange with the smaller icon that looks like a road if it hasn't picked up the lanes

    I too recently purchased a Superb. I was convinced I needed an estate. But in the end I went with a hatchback, because boot footprint of the estate vs hatchback is the same. The height is where they differ. I went for the diesel DSG because I do the motorway miles.

     

    In addition I went for L&K mainly because it comes with lane assist preinstalled. Not that SE-L doesn't, they are just harder to find. Since you are going for used and you want the driver assistance bits like park assist, blind spot etc then you can retrofit everything, but you  might as well save the time and effort and get it within. The traffic jam assist combined with adaptive cruise, make hell of a difference on long journeys. 

     

     

    UK Rear fog light convert to EU use

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Posted

    Pretty sure this is a copy paste from octy thread.

     

    For starters Octavia doesn't have an inner tail light assembly. Secondly if it was a simple coding job there wouldn't have been 4 different variants available for the same side of the vehicle. That's why I was watching this thread intently. 

     

    You could in theory, use an EU lamp in the UK and turn off the left sided fog but not the other way round.

     

    If you do end up purchasing another left sided tail, do let me know what you doing with your old one I might be interested :D 

     

     

    Automatic break

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Posted

    So this is the think in my 2016 assist from when I've had the acc on, it has never applied the breaks.

     

    I've set the alarm to be early on getting assist and every now and then it will show the red car with WiFi signals all round it on the maxi for with an audible alert, but never applied the breaks.

     

    I guess I'm too chicken to try out out for real. I've gotten pretty close to not breaking to the car in front but it still never applied it.

    I just did this the other day. Cannot comment on the USB, I used a mSD with SD adaptor with 64gb card formatted exfat. The files should be stored as:

      

    X:\metainfo2.txt
X:\Mib1
X:\Mib2

    Worked for me first time. I put it on install and turned off the car and locked it, it was still installing 12 hours later, but at least I didn't need to have the engine running.

    Non-OEM reverse camera with trajectory or dynamic guidelines

    in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)

    Just checked and it looks like the image attached, so I guess I,lol have to get the A type. Just the Chinese descriptions are a little misleading, it says superb 17-19. 

     

    Not trying to sound jealous but will I have everything @langers2khas, i.e. what's in the owners manual for

    - traverse parking

    - parallel parking

    - driving up to a trailer / distance monitoring

    - monitor the area behind the vehicle (wide view

    As the title says, I know that on a superb 3 you can purchase a £15 camera from Aliexpress without any special hardware and it works out of the box after wiring. Only downside is, that it doesn't have the guides. Does anyone know of a similar, but with trajectory / dynamic guide lines?

     

    The OEM camera, high line, is relatively expensive compared to this, so just exploring options
