A long time ago I changed the factory D3S bulbs for Phillips XtremeVision Gen2 D3S bulbs. They were a nice improvement. This was footage of it... I recently replaced them with LED D3S, made by J.W.Speaker. Massive improvement. This is with the LED bulbs...

U need to connect the Negative end of the battery charger to the car chassis, not the negative terminal!!

+1 Genuine VCDS is not cheap at all. 70 euro for unlimited vcds!!! 30 pound for the dongle and 5 pound for the app!!! surely can't b genuine.

Have u scanned the car for codes yet? If the wiper stalk is in the off position - there should b no reason at all for it to wipe, regardless of any sensors.

@SuperB-LK - I switched from VCDS to OBDEleven a long time ago. My ultimate preference is still VCDS, but u can do everything with OBDEleven Pro version. I made the switch cause with VCDS I only had the 3 car license, which was no good for me as I wanted to help others with coding. No such restrictions with OBDEleven. Plus it's way cheaper, and no laptop or cable required. I don't/never use the One Click apps cause u never know wat coding changes is done behind the scenes, with some causing undesired side effects. With OBDEleven Pro version, I can do adaptations and long coding changes, just as I would've with VCDS. Mine was a one off lifetime payment, which they don't offer anymore. Now u have to pay a yearly subscription for Pro or Ultimate.

a number of electrics/modules changed with the mk3 facelift, including the introduction of SFD. hence a lot of coding for the pre-facelift mk3 will not work on the facelift mk3. the mk4 is an entirely different eco-system, and will b remotely similar electrics/modules wise.

Absolutely no side effects on the window itself or it's operation. Likewise, no impact on the door frame. Mine has been on my Superb for almost 7 yrs now. It's a much better solution than the versions that stick on the door frame itself. The heko ones r a much cleaner look, but also leaves no marks at all if u have to remove it.

with the facelift model, the behaviour changed, yes. tis a shame the setting (duration) can't b changed on the pre-facelift models. no one has been able to crack it yet, even looking in the associated parameter file(s).

When ACC is on, Coasting is disabled. That's normal. With Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) active, ACC will only resume (car moves) automatically within 3 secs, i.e. if stopped for less than 3 secs. After that, u need to tap the accelerator or pull the cruise stalk for the car to move/resume. With the 19" wheels, many Superb owners have switched to 245/40R19 tyres. Thicker sidewall and wider tyre results in more comfort. It's also cheaper and more readily available.

@SaabDude - wat r u looking to gain with a valved exhaust? a number of 280 owners with valved exhaust have coded the valves to remain open because it is too quiet when closed. even with it open, it is not as loud as expected. the exhaust setup (resonator and mufflers) on a 280 is very different to that on the 272 thanks to the GPF requirements. if u do go down that path, then u need to consider:- if the 272 has the wiring loom for valves? if the 272 has the long coding for exhaust valves (01 Engine -> Byte 09 Bit 2)?

L&K is not lower than standard. L&K with DCC is lower than standard. As @MartiniB already mentioned a few posts earlier, it depends on wat shocks u have and if u Sportline. U have confirmed earlier that u do have DCC, so urs will b lower than standard height setup. L&K is a trim level, and depending on market (country), it will either come with DCC as factory fit or factory option.

Tis a shame ur getting some drone whilst cruising. Otherwise, enjoy the full throttle sounds 😁

@netman82 - 1440 is the latest for the MIB2.5 G13. As for the undertray, it replaces the existing short one. The longer undertray uses the same front and side mounting points & screws. However the rear section requires 3x bolts (M8x20) to secure to the sub-frame. Part No. is WHT000729A.

@netman82 - part number for the full length engine under tray is 5Q0825236N. with regards to the G11 to G13 conversion - basically this allows u to upgrade ur existing MIB2 unit to an MIB2.5 unit. Columbus MIB2 unit paired with 8" Display screen (with buttons) Columbus MIB2.5 unit paired with 9.2" Display screen (no buttons) previously u had to change both the glovebox headunit AND the display screen. with this conversion, u only need to change the screen. the existing MIB2 glovebox unit becomes a MIB2.5 unit. benefits (that i remember) are:- bigger display area - 9.2" vs 8" much much higher screen resolution slightly different menus 3-way home split screen (allows u to simultaneously display multiple elements on the home screen, for e.g. navigation, car info, media) improved response times this AIO conversion included the Performance Monitor, as well as Easy Entry Access (Seats)

U need to remove the front bumper in order to fix or replace the headlight washer. No need to touch or remove the headlight. A while ago I made a how to guide on removing the bumper. Essentially it's not a simple job, but doable. Removing Front Bumper.pdf

The Superb's body by design is nose down, rear up, liftback & wagon. Ur not exaggerating it with the Eibach springs....if any, it will b minimal. Mine sits evenly (based on the wheel arches) front & rear on the Eibach Pro-kit springs.

as i mentioned earlier - Part No. for the genuine Skoda heated windscreen is 3V0845011AE NVB

for the Superb 3V3 Hatchback 1.4 TSi, the Eibach Springs will lower it approx. 30-35mm. Part Number is E10-85-042-01-22 alternative is H&R springs. Part Number is 28784-1 for Superb 3V3 Hatchback 1.4 TSi. if u have DCC shocks, it will lower by 20-25mm.

i have a link for the AIO (All-In-One) version, that i had downloaded from the mibsolution, before it went down. "MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526_1_AIO_MU1440" whilst the same firmware version - it is not the file u r after though. this one is used when upgrading from MIB2 to MIB2.5 units.

Superb's with a heated windscreen have a distinct purple reflective haze/tint. the tint also gives it heat reflective properties. can't miss it. if it has a green-ish tinge, its non-heated. Part No. for the heated windscreen is 3V0845011AE NVB

@Cactusjack - mine is a FWD Superb, hence the centre resonator setup is different to the AWD version, which u seem to have. Having said that, I've heard of some of the 280 owners who got the Forementor resonator saying that they had to get the pipe lengthened a bit. This is mine.....

@kampang - u need to have 2 folders and 1 file in the root of the Sd-card :- Mib1 (folder) Mib2 (folder) metainfo (file) Don't go copying stuff from individual folders. Don't change anything.

Mine still has those options after doing the MIB2.5 upgrade. I used the AIO G11 to G13 firmware.

Did u unzip the downloaded maps to the root folder of the sd-card? If it's not done properly, the MIB won't see the update.

if fitted incorrectly, yes the front splitter will cover up 4x torx screws, two on each side, that connects the front bumper to the front of the wheel arch liner. this will impact the ability to remove the bumper. the front wheel arch liner goes all the way forward to inside the front bumper. when i fitted my Rieger front splitter, i had to trim the splitter, slightly, to ensure those particular torx screws could still b inserted and removed. i don't have a picture of how it looks, but u can see on the pic below of the wheel arch liner, showing the 2x holes up front which lines up with the front bumper. as for the springs - they're just having a whinge. they need to grow up, or u need to find urself a new dealership.
