Stage 2 saga update- good, bad and ugly
None of the after market intakes will unblock the closed off air flow behind the grill. All they do is remove the blocked section on the intake itself. Essentially it's like having a blocked nose on one side. U can see in the first image that the air intake on the right, even when unblocked, is still blocked by the flow coming through the front grille. I don't know why Skoda does this. To remove the restriction, u need to remove the front bumper and dremel (cut) out the plastic trim on the right side. I did this to mine a long long time ago. If u want to take full advantage of the factory intake or aftermarket intake - u need to unblock the air flow on the right side. Factory setup has the right side airflow blocked. Air flow into the air intake (top) blocked on right side. Close up of the blocked air flow on right side, from factory. Close up of unblocked air flow on left side, from factory. Air flow into the air intake (top) after being cut out on the right side.

Fuel Gauge Sender is kaput- Does anyone have a part number?
Is urs AWD? If so, it's a known issue due to the split tank design, to cater for the AWD drivetrain tunnel. As a result, u run out of fuel, despite there being fuel in the tank. Something to do with how it transfers fuel between the split tanks.

Is there something wrong with my airbag?
It's clear that the airbag is not matched to the steering wheel. Completely different profiles between the steering wheel and the airbag contour at the top. Not sure how u missed that before when u fitted the airbag to the new steering wheel u fitted. U either need the right airbag to match ur existing steering wheel, or the right steering wheel to match ur existing airbag.

Gandalf's Evolution
Haven't driven it much since I did the change as I'm currently in Europe for a family holiday. Hence not enough mileage yet to b sure that it's all good. I'm not back home until the end of this month. So hopefully mid-August I'll know for sure.

MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
@Kriszfabia - as @Cairus mentioned above, u need to replace the light control module (LCM). The one that comes with version A headlights does not know how to control the high beams on version B headlights. Hence u'll need to replace LCM if u want ur high beams to work again. Control module for version A is 8U0 941 329. Control module for version B is 4H0 941 329

MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
I don't understand - u say original lamps r version B, but then u say original lamps r version A. Which one is it? U say u need eyelashes, but then u say ur eyelashes work. Which one is it? Wat do u mean by reflectors? Is ur car a pre-facelift or facelift?

Out of curiosity, what is the DSG adaptation process u performed? The Eibach Pro-kit Springs will finish off the look of ur car nicely.

Xenon to LED upgrade?
I have the back covers on for the headlights - been 2 yrs now with no issues. Ideally have the back cover off, however I'm concerned about dirt and water ingress inside the headlights, causing headaches. Hence cover stays on.

Xenon to LED upgrade?
A few of us have switched the xenon bulbs to LED D3S bulbs, including myself. Highly recommended. I got JW Speaker LEDs in my Superb MY17. A huge improvement over the Phillips xTremeVison Gen 2 xenon bulbs i had before. It's got a built-in heatsink and fan - very important for cooling. Plug'n'play. No coding required. No CANBUS errors or warnings. Footage from my dashcam.

Superb MK3 FL 206 KW Vibration under low rpm load
That is disappointing to hear. So even after changing the whole DGG unit it's still no good!?!?! That does not right. I'm guessing ur car doesn't have a TCU tune?

Gandalf's Evolution
So after 9 yrs, my oil filter housing started to show signs of an oil leak, all around the base of it. Gandalf wasn't loosing any oil though, based on the dipstick levels. Suspects include cracked oil filter housing, however the weeping was consistent all round it; or the oil filter internal valve adaptor, which the old versions r known to fail. The part has since been revised. or cracked oil filter housing O-ring. Based on that, I decided to replace the internal valve filter and oil filter housing. Parts:- Oil Filter Housing - 06L115401L Updated version, comes with oil filter and O-ring. Oil Filter valve - 06L115678Q Revised and updated version. Whilst I was at it, I also replaced the oil cap. Time to monito now and see if there r any new signs of oil weeping or misting. Fingers crossed.

The input values in the how-to-guide r just examples. Every car has a different first input value. The second input value is always "c9d2". Glad u got it in the end.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Nice work @Binx1310 If u want to take it a step further - put black vinyl on the top half of the lower door trim bit - above the strip. It will b more visible on a white car compared to grey.

Standard or Damptronic dampers?
U can't tell by the buttons if the car has DCC shocks, but u can tell by looking in the infotainment menu by selecting the driving mode. Standard shocks only have Eco, Normal, Sport & Individual. The menu says "Driving Mode Selection" DCC shocks have Comfort, Eco, Normal, Sport & Individual. The menu says "DCC/Driving Mode" Alternatively, physically look at the shocks itself - there is a small valve cylinder that sticks out the side of the chamber, if it has DCC....like this.
