Hi all, I have a 2016 MY Superb L&k 280 and I'd like to get rid of the pointless white on the ambient light strips and change it to red. I've searched on this section and although its metioned several times that members have, or have had it changed, I can't actually find the coding itself. Would someone be kind enough to post the full VCDS codings please? Thnaks in advance... Rob

Mine is currently a 280 BS - Bog Standard - but I’m thinking of a JB4 or remap. However, given just how quick the car is compared to most others on the road, I probably won’t bother.

Interesting. My dealer said the noise I was experiencing was from the anti-roll bar bushes which, when replaced, solved the bloody annoying creaking once and for all? How odd that the model could suffer two noisy suspension components.

Creaking sound will be the anti roll bar bushes. Had mine replaced under warranty and voila, creakiness all gone...

It won’t. Knackered Police vehicles have zero effect on the particular model RV’s.

People say I’m stupid, but I think the 280 will become collectible, if only because it’s the fastest production Skoda ever produced. I’m still absolutely over the moon with the car; I’m seriously thinking about shoving into a Carcoon and buying a Fabia for everyday use. As for going green well, I’m holding out hope for Hydrogen powered vehicles, as I think range anxiety will always be an issue with electric vehicles.

After moving the seat all the way back to clean under the seat I had the same issue; no seat memory and no easy exit. Did the backwards/forwards thing and hey presto, all working again! Thanks very much to the OP!

On the few occasions I've really given it some stick, there really is a deep noisy throaty exhaust note on our 280, which can definitely be heard in the cabin over the engine sound. Personally, I want to keep it quiet until needed and looking BS; it's what a Q car is all about.

IMHO, yes.

Get one of the Aircon cleaning sprays. IIRC, you run the Aircon on full, set the cleaner off in the car, then close the doors for around 15 mins. I had exactly this problem in our MKI Superb. I too only used to run the AC in the summer. Condensation builds up in the ducting pipes and mould grows in there which creates a stink when the AC is switched on. Lesson learned and I’ve kept the AC on in all our cars and never had a problem since then.

I should add, the space saver was / is a cost option, coming with the polystyrene boot liner, Jack, wheel brace etc, so don’t expect this to be included as standard; I was lucky that Prykey ordered this, along with the other long list of options he added. Still find it ridiculous that cost saving extends to what should be a compulsory item in any vehicle. I’d like to see the U.K. stats on the number of punctures the compressed air and gunk systems actually fix.

Our 280 also has a 17” space saver kit.

To help you, I’d ring a dealer or TPS? Oh... hang on... I guess you could do that, eh? 👍
