In my 2017 Superb with DSG, Coasting was only in ECO driving mode.
ECO mode also disables ACC.

@defsix - understand, I much prefer the metal case version too.
I was tempted to try going down the path of upgrading to the new mk8 Golf key, but I can't see anyone that has done it before with this version of the Superb key.
Most of them r flip keys, which the Superb key is not.

Not to out do your fine work, but I went down the simple route and purchased 3 spare shell's.
YIQIXIN Smart Car Key Shell Case 3 Button Fob
Simple enough to swap over the electronics and key.
Now I have 3 shiny new metal cases keys. Previously it was one metal and 2 plastic. And the metal one was covered in super glue 😂
I did consider that, and that was my initial plan, but why waste money when I have an unused key sitting in the cupboard.
Now that I've learnt how to take it apart, next I will have no hesitation in getting a replacement key shell.

The buttons on Gandalf's main key fob were getting "lethargic" after almost 7 yrs of service.
So I decided to fix it by transplanting the buttons from my unused 3rd key fob.
The button presses r much better now.
I decided to make a video and share it for anyone that may need to "repair" their key fob.
The same process applies to the Kodiaq MK2 and Passat B8 key fobs, with KESSY.

The ambient lighting trim bit is plastic riveted to the door card.
U can see it in the pic below. This is my rear door card.

@JR RS that 245 is an upsize from the original, any rubbing? Speedometer is out by too much?
My car came with 235/40 which are at the beginning of the end, and I wonder for next season is stick to 19s but increase a bit the sidewall, or most likely to downsize to 18" and perhaps go 245/45.
No rubbing at all.
Compared to the factory size (235/40r19), this size (245/40r19) is more comfortable, more affordable, better availablity (more brand choices), and speedo is more accurate.
Many Superb owners have made this switch.
Highly recommended.

Speaking of tyres on a hatch, 2017, and 220 - I'm really happy with the Continental MaxContact6 tyres on mine.
245/40r19.

I have no faults, wanted to see if aa wireless os enabled on latest software.
based on the part number in ur image - 565035021C, u have a MIB2.5 unit - these r NOT capable of wireless Android Auto or CarPlay, no matter the firmware update.
Only MIB3 units r capable of wireless.
if u want wireless AA, i suggest u get an add-on dongle, like AAWireless.
i have been using one of these for many years now. see image below. its great.
if u want to update ur firmware - i've made a how-to for it for when i updated my unit. - Firmware Update Guide v1.0.pdf

Not today, but Monday night I got to use the Smart Light Assist on my recently purchased L&K. Very clever bit of kit, but I just hope that they never pack up. I bet they are a frightening price!
Watching the SLA in action is mesmerising!

Front....
Rear....

@george_d - doubt it will work at all.
A heated steering wheel uses a 14-pin connector.
A non-heated steering wheel uses a 16-pin connector.
Unless u get a Kufatec connector conversion.
-
if i remember correctly - a heated steering wheel requires a different steering clock spring. this is due to the differences in the wiring required for the heated steering wheel.
so i don't think it will b possible to simply change the wheel alone.

Another vote for mudflaps - really useful in keep most of the crap off the sides of the car.
I initially had AliExpress mudflaps, however I replaced them as they were much smaller than the Skoda original mudflaps, which I have on now.

As posted above - check ur Door unlocking selection under Open and Closing settings....

Good to hear it's made a difference.

@enoktakenokta - yes it can b done, but NOT with ur regular tools such as VCDS and OBDEleven.
u need a modified (by someone who knows what they're doing) Gateway parameter file, and specialist tools (such as VCP or ODIS) to upload the file to the car.
i've had it done on mine, paid a person i knew to modify it for me. the intervention time was increased from 12 to 60 secs.
its great having that extra time, however i only mainly use it on highways/motorways.

Nice work in diagnosing the issue.
With regards to ur OCD, yeah, in theory the new bulb will shine brighter, especially if ur other one is a couple of years old.
The ballast won't affect the brightness if it's the same power/specs.

Hi, I have a Skoda superb 2016, I want to install the 2018 SLA headlights, tell me the encoding for the 55 block.
Sorry, unfortunately I don't have the coding required for MY15 and MY16, nor do I have the parameter file for 55-headlight module.

Lane Assist uses front camera (A5 in windscreen) and ACC radar (also used for Front Assist), behind the centre grille cover.
Lane Change Assist uses blind spot radars inside the rear bumper.

Shove one of those Silikat cartridges in the tank - that’ll keep the cr@p at bay in the meantime.
Do u happen to have a part number for that?

Yeah.... I plan to try to swap the ballasts around over the weekend to see if that indicates anything... Crossing my fingers it can be done without removing the headlight.
In addition to the ballasts, also swap the control modules - there r 2x per headlight, underneath.
Ballast u can swap without removing the headlight.
Unfortunately with control modules, u'll need to get access under the headlights. Easiest way is front wheels off, wheel arch liner off - u will the have access to the back and underneath the headlight.
Alternatively, try removing the engine under tray, u might b able to reach the modules, with long skinny hands.
Sometimes these modules can get affected by too much moisture build up inside the headlight and subsequently fail.
If swapping the 2x modules and ballast make no difference - then u'll likely need to replace the whole unit.
.... assuming ur fuse is fine.

Are you running g12evo now or still kept with g13?
They put in fresh G13 coolant.
In two years time, during the service, I'll ask them to put the G12evo in.

Coasting & ECO Mode
in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Posted
Sorry, I meant to say ACC disables the Coasting function.
ACC still works in ECO driving mode.
