Hi everyone, I’m about to replace the glow plugs on my Superb 3, and while going through the workshop manual I noticed something funny. The glow plug replacement procedure is on page 666. Quite a coincidence. I’m also not entirely sure whether anything needs to be done in VCDS after replacing a glow plug with a pressure sensor. The workshop manual doesn’t mention any adaptation steps, but I found this video showing a procedure that looks relevant, so now I’m wondering if something similar is required. https://youtu.be/FfoM8iav5kc?si=FMd1-SXQm0RrWRqW I also spotted some strange cartoon images in the manual. Does anyone know what they’re supposed to represent? Thanks, and wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. 🎄

Oh, I didn’t think about that! I will try that and get back with the results. Yes the LTE is the way to go. I found out that every module has its own IMEI, so I might remove the rear bumper to see if I can find something there.

Thanks for your answer! Are you saying that the car communicates with the servers via an API? That’s probably correct, but I still don’t understand whether it’s using GSM, LTE, GPS, or an RF signal for this communication. My goal is to figure out how the request reaches the car because I’m trying to identify security vulnerabilities for my master’s thesis.

Hello! Recently, I tried to figure out how the MyŠkoda app works in terms of its technical aspects, and I conducted a small experiment. I wanted to understand how my phone communicates with the car when, for example when I unlock it remotely. I know the car has an LTE antenna and module with built in SIM car. I assumed that the app sends a request (such as unlocking or locking the car) to Škoda/VW servers via the internet, and then the servers communicate with the car using LTE. This would explain why it takes around 20 seconds to unlock or lock the car using the app. To confirm this theory, I set up an SDR device (Software Defined Radio—basically a scanner for radio communication) and monitored the EU LTE frequencies. After several attempts, I didn’t detect any signals on the LTE frequencies, which left me without an answer. I also tried searching Google for information on how the Škoda or VW app works, but I couldn't find anything conclusive. I’m reaching out to you with a kind request: Does anyone know how the app communicates with the vehicle? 😃 Thank you!

Hello everyone! New member here and a new owner of a SKODA Superb III 2019 2.0 TDI 110KW with AdBlue. I would like to ask for help with the black dust particles I found in the engine bay. Recently, I replaced a coolant expansion tank with one without the silica bag and noticed black dust particles. I have attached photos for a better understanding. Has somebody had a problem like this, or what could be the reason for these black particles? Maybe AdBlue injector is leaking or a clamp? Thank everybody for their help!🙂
