Sasha’s Superb SportLine Plus Facelift
CaptainPuke replied to SashaGrace's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Thanks Sasha, I'm absolutely made up with the work you've done - utter game changer on my long drives! Just sad my old jalopy looks boring in black compared to your dragon green! Cheers -

Estate seats down load area boot liner
CaptainPuke replied to CaptainPuke's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Thanks all, will check them out -
Hi all, Really enjoying the half alcantara seats in the sport line I bought yesterday. However, I work hands on and don't want to get dirt/crap off my work trousers into the alcantara - I have set of waterproof seat overs I've used on other cars but they don't fit the sport line seats due to the unique shape. Have been looking on eBay but can't see anything - not looking for something to permanently install, just a slip on cover to use during my work shift days. Thanks in advance if anyone has a solution!

B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
CaptainPuke replied to CaptainPuke's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Thanks - I've now given up on a Sportline and am only looking at L&K's (I want the DCC as well) - so looking for a L&K with a factory fit towbar. How difficult can it be? Ha ha. -

B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
CaptainPuke replied to CaptainPuke's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Oh really? Ha ha phew! Ok, any tips on how I can sniff out a car with an A5 camera - given that all the dealers are clueless! Is there a visual lie, like the camera aperture up in the windscreen in front of the rear view mirror? -

B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
CaptainPuke replied to CaptainPuke's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Ok thanks Sasha - so if I want full speed range adaptive lane guidance (which I do) I need a facelift model and it would help if it already had TFR? What's FeC? Oh and I also want DCC (thanks for replying on the other thread), ACC, DSG and the factory retractable tow bar. In a sport line. In Dragon Green. And a virtual dash. And some magic beans to grow a giant beanstalk while I'm at it... Back in the real world... If I can't get full range adaptive lane guidance in a Pre facelift, then I'm looking at at facelift model anyway. DSG and ACC are minimums. I'm aware adding a towbar is a bit of a nightmare, so what's the easier options out of what I've mentioned to have added afterwards? You're not too far from me Sasha so this work may well be coming your way! -
B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
CaptainPuke replied to CaptainPuke's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Thanks JR. Most dealers are utterly clueless about this. Am I right In thinking if I get a PreFL with an A5 camera then I can get adaptive lane keep activated? I'm 100% getting a DSG with ACC anyway, however adaptive lane guidance really is something I want so wanna be sure. What options would get me an A5 camera - traffic sign recognition? If the dealer I spoke to is correct that all Sprotlines came with traffic sign recognition as standard, then I should be good... right? -
B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
CaptainPuke replied to CaptainPuke's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
I can live with the bong for steering inputs every 12 or 20 secs (I hear different things) but not the way the lane assist keep hassling you! So you are saying it's possible to upgrade a PreFL to traffic jam level of lane assist under 40mph but not full speed range? Is 'traffic jam assist' lane keeping full centre or just side to side pinballing? My budget isn't quite strong enough for a post face lift, shame as the virtual dash looks banging. Also, I've heard different things on traffic sign recognition (something I definitely want, regardless of lane keep/travel assist) - do you know if that came as standard on PreFL Sportlines, or was an option? Thanks Sasha! -
Hello! Does anyone have any feedback on the DCC option on the pre-faclift estate Superb? I'm aware that the l&k versions came with it as standard but it would have been an option on a Sportline. Has anyone tried both and can comment on how effective it is? Am I right in thinking it's four electrically adapted dampeners? Or in the rear on air shocks? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a superb estate, have looked for the answer to this but can't find the info I'm after, apologies if this has already been answered! I'm interested in the lane keeping function of travel assist on the pre facelift versions - is it just lane assist i.e. bounces you from one lane to the other with annoying audible warnings, or does it actually keep the centre of the lane and steer around corners, roundabouts etc? I've tried my neighbours new golf and its just lane assist which I find really annoying (had it on a Jag XF perviously and liked it - it didn't give any audible warnings, just quietly assisted you). A dealer I've spoken to says on the pre facelift, even with travel assist option it's lane assist only, I'd need a post facelift to get lane centre keeping. Is this right? Also... I've read that if the pre facelift doesn't have travel assist as an option, then it's possible to have activated via VCDS so long has the car has adaptive cruise, lane keeping and traffic sign recognition. Is this true? has anyone actually had it done? I thought travel assist was activated by a dedicated button on the steering wheel? Thanks, hopefully get to the bottom of this and be making a purchase imminently... will be posting separately about dynamic dampening control... I really want a sport line for the styling and the seats, but the l&k's are better equipped...
