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.

Tsi 4x4 dsg 6 to 7 change
As above, they started showing up from MY19 onwards, with the 280/272 Superb. Though in some markets, they continued to get the DQ250 for a few more years. DQ250 is DSG-6 wet clutch. DQ381 is DSG-7 wet clutch

Front Grille Light Bar - done
Nothing fancy - just the usual S U P E R B boot badge, with each letter placed on a 2cm L-shaped metal bracket, then super glued inside a honeycomb.

@Binx1310 - sorry to hear about ur passenger wing mirror!! As u've found out, they're definitely a lot of $$$ to replace. Keep an eye out at wreckers for a replacement mirror. p.s. car looks good 👍🏽

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles
Did warn u about getting a heated version, difference in clockspring and airbag shape differences. All good, round is wat u prefer....round is wat u get. Fingers crossed the M version works out for u.

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles
Which version of the Sportline wheel did u get? Wat did u not like about it? Here's a side by side comparison of the two I had/have. Both very similar in feel and thickness.

Round steering wheel with DSG paddles
This was the original round steering wheel on mine (MY17) before I replaced it with a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

How-to Guide to Upgrade MIB2 to MIB2.5
@nick6262 - hmmmm, I'm not sure wat advice I can give here that will help. Sorry. With the upgrade from MHI2_ER_SKG11_P3304_MU0836 to MHI2_ER_SKG11_K3343_MU1433 - that is a big jump. From memory, there would b some interim versions between to upgrade to before finally reaching 1433. I'm assuming u switched to 9.2" screen during the MIB2 to MIB2.5 upgrade process. This upgrade does not work with the 8" screen.

Air Care won't activate
No thanks. I'm not going to bother with firmware updates or swapping modules out. I gave it a go via coding/adaptations alone - it didn't work, as I suspected it wouldn't. Firmware upgrades via VCP/ODIS or hardware (module) changes were not part of the deal. I've lived without AirCare for the past 8+ yrs. The current tri-zone Climate Control system in AUTO does a great job. I'm good the way things r now 👍

Air Care won't activate
that's not what i've read in various Golf and Superb forums. i'm pretty sure those that have AirCare working on their mk3 Superb, NOT Seat Leon, will be MY18 or later. i checked Byte 15 Bit 5 on my 08 Air Conditioning module - it was already enabled. This is my gateway.... 19 Gateway System description: GW MQB High Software number: 3Q0907530AA Software version: 5366 Hardware number: 3Q0907530C Hardware version: 515 Serial number: 20031710802543 ODX name: EV_GatewNF ODX version: 013025

Air Care won't activate
Yup, I've replaced that many many years ago - no more AQS error. I believe I have, based on my replies above, 3 yrs ago. @Cairus - software version is 4101. See below. Clicking the "Active" button checkbox does nothing, it won't activate. The issue is not saving the Active state, rather it won't activate at all. I'll check my Byte 15 Bit 5.... I think my suspicions r true that pre-MY18 models don't have the HVAC hardware for Air Care.

Air Care won't activate
So I did the Climatronics Flaps/Actuator Recalibration thingy, this time via OBDeleven - sadly same no difference. Air Care still deactivated ☹️ There must b something preventing it. Interestingly, this time it has a message saying it's deactivated. Previously there was no message at all.

Wheel alignment and radar
Whilst doing a radar recalibration with a wheel alignment is a thing (by the books), it is not really a must. Over the 8+ yrs I've had Gandalf, I've done at least a dozen wheels alignments without the radar calibration. No issues with the radar, steering or assist systems. All tracks well with ACC and Lane Assistance etc. etc. Even if u did want to do it, biggest issue is finding someone who can do the radar calibration!!

Intermittent fault on headlight
Trying the swapping the ballasts between left and right first, as they are easily accessible from the engine bay. If that makes no difference, then u'll likely need to drop the arch liners.

USB port suddenly stopped working
@sthatcher - do u have an additional USB port inside the armrest compartment? i.e. one next to the phonebox and another in the armrest compartment? If u do, u'll have a USB hub module, sitting inside the centre console trim - there is potential it has likely failed, though its rare for them to fail. its weird that u said the fuse in #9 was missing - that makes no sense.

Air Care won't activate
Thanks for confirming that @UndertheRadar I don't have any associated errors or warnings associated to the HVAC, and my recirculate air works when I press the button on the climatronics panel. Perhaps I should do another Climatronic Recalibration process again, see if that makes any difference.
-
Air Care won't activate
Sadly it still doesn't work even after performing the MIB2.5 upgrade. I gave up trying to get it working. I think it also requires a different air filter type, something carbon activated, which the sensors detect and knows to activate AirCare.

ODB eleven
The VAG app version is better suited to us, i.e. VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat etc etc. Hence the VAG name for the app. The other one is less useful as it's more generic to cater for other car brands too. It does different stuff, but not as useful when it comes to Long Coding and Adaptations that u use with the Pro.

Trav's 2021 Superb 280 L&K
Make sure u get the right LCA cause Golf, A3, S3 etc LCAs r too short for the Superb.
