Cruise control coding help Liverpool
VCDS comes in three flavours. 3 VIN, 10 VIN & unlimited VIN. Each time you code something on a car it takes up one of the VINs (assuming you've not coded on the same car previously). To upgrade either the 3 or 10 VIN interface is $169 so good luck with your offer of a tenner. This might help locate someone local to you once you've looked at your budget again.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I actually bought the bulbs last year and misplaced them. Did a bit of a shed tidy up earlier in the week and uncovered them.

Jump Start Needs TDI
I have one of them, no clue which model though. I do know it jumped my old Signum a few times though so I assume it's the 40 or 50 model. I'll have a look tomorrow. Edit: it's the 40 model. Seems it is only rated to 3.0L diesel.

Boot randomly opens and closes
I've had this happen but it turns out the cat was moving under the rear of the car as I approached it.

Jump Start Needs TDI
Most booster packs state up to what petrol/diesel engine size they are suitable for. The one I have will supposedly jump start a diesel up to 4.0 litres.

Starting to really dislike my Superb - Blower, Clean Air sensor, Missing Databus etc etc - Good NW/Stockport/Manc person required
This is likely something breaking down as it gets hot so most likely a sensor.

Proper toddler politics that will only hurt their own residents. With any luck it will bite each and every one of them.

205/55r16 tyres on steels
No rush, real life has a habit of getting in the way Just the space saver one please. I'd likely be using RM to do the pick up. Any idea of the weight as I'll need to put something in that box. PM me your payment details and I'll get it sorted over the weekend

Would you be prepared to wrap in a black bag and tape so a courier could collect?

Roof bars
They're not screw holes, they're there for the locating pins. Skoda original bars have two pins per each side of the bar, Thule has just the one. This post/thread will help. Can't help you on the bike rack bit though

Average fuel consumption
Working off Superb controls here but I imagine they are the same. Click on the RHS scroll wheel and it will cycle through average since start, since refuel and long term.

Quiet tyre recommendations?
I've made a recent change to Goodyear Vector 4Seasons and I'm very happy thus far on the 19" rims. Have previously had them on 17 & 15 inch rims. Great tyre. If they're too loud then turn up the radio

Quiet tyre recommendations?
I know you are super helpful with wheels/tyres but suggesting a drop to 16 from 19 inch rims is a bit extreme don't you think?

The most mysterious and expensive problem ever created by Skoda (turbo question).
So, no then. See if you can find a VCDS owner that's local to you and offer them a few beer tokens

The plug needs to come out. See that wee circular hole, press that in with something pointy and wiggle the connection out.

Identify whether seats match the car?
Is it possible that the reason the zips are undone is because they stripped the seats down and threw the covers into a washing machine?

Dash light level fluctuates
The windows may be a case of an up down reset. Dash lights, feck knows. Wipers, yes the intermittent is based on speed and rain level, assuming you have auto wipers
