  1. Had the Water pump on Gandalf replaced today, along with a new revision non-silikant coolant tank. Right on queue (almost done 90k kms) Gandalf started losing coolant very slowly over the last few months. I would have to top it up with distilled water to the Max line, and over a period of 4 wks or so, it would drop halfway between Min and Max. All fixed now. Parts used:- P673 - Hepu Thermostat and Water Pump Assembly - MQB 1.8/2.0 TSI (06L121111H) 06L121131 - Union for Water - VAG MQB 1.8/2.0 TSI 5Q0121407M - Coolant Reservoir - VAG MQB
  2. Mine is MY17 with a build sticker in the boot and another in the Owner's manual.
  3. @dwinaus - thank u whilst i really like the factory 19" Trinity rims, it was time to change Gandalf's look after 6 yrs plus. i wasn't sure how well the Rotiform LAS-R rims would work on the Superb, but i'm glad i went with it. Suits the theme i had going. lol - that rear three quarter shot always makes me turn around so can i have one last look, or two, or three, as i walk away after parking the car. Wat Superb did u get?
  4. I have the 220 FWD - in the past (when I had indirect TPMS) when I put the 16" spare tyre on the rear, it would upset the TPMS, and disable cruise control, lane assist and front assist. It knows there is a different sized tire on, so it disables the appropriate assist systems.
  5. With Indirect TPMS, also known as Tire Pressure Loss Indicator, it uses the ABS sensors to determine each wheel's rotational speed. If one of them is off in comparison to the others, it will set of the TPMS alarm. Usually this equates to 4 psi or more. It can only do this comparison when the car is moving. If the pressures r the same, but the tires r worn out differently, it will rotate at a different speed, and may trigger the TPMS. If the brakes r binding, it will rotate at a different speed, and may trigger the TPMS. If one of the wheel bearings is worn, it will rotate at a different speed, and may trigger the TPMS. Hence there r multiple reasons for the TPMS to b upset. With direct TPMS, which is not available on the Superb, it doesn't rely on the ABS wheel sensors. Instead it has 4x sensors, one in each wheel, and a TPMS module (receiver). It measures the actual tire pressure, which gets displayed on screen. As @MartiniB indicated, there is the option to fit an aftermarket TPMS system, to monitor ur tire pressure live. in my case - I retrofitted the VW/Skoda TPMS system.
  6. MIB2 & MIB2.5 can't do wireless. U need a wireless dongle device. MIB3 can do wireless.
  7. Likely because the SuperPro Lower arms are not correct length for the Superb. I believe the TRC1070 (used for the mk7 Golf) is too short for the Superb, i.e. 313mm. The Superb needs a length of 327mm. See L2 in the pics below.
  8. These r the instructions I made & used, based on sources I found.....
  9. There is no requirement to do the DCC recalibration - it will continue to work with no issues. However it is highly beneficial to do it, especially if u want the shocks dampening (compression & rebound) to work well with the springs. It made a huge difference to me. the "science" behind the DCC recalibration..... "calibration is done with all four wheels off the ground, so the DCC module stores the fully extended value of the sensors. The theory is then that once the car is back on the ground the DCC module stores a "center" value. From that point it's able to do its thing based on the position of the level sensors, the accelerometers and your selected mode."
  10. U'll need to recalibrate the DCC if u increase or decrease the spring height. This requires OBDEleven or VCDS, and all 4 wheels suspended in the air.
  11. i take it you didn't make a backup before u went made all those changes?!?! also, for the DRL stripes to work, u need version B bi-xenon headlights, not version A. u can tell by the part number on top of each headlight.
  12. Wat's a lower spec radio? I have the MIB2 Columbus "high" unit, and I have the button on the B-pillar.
  13. @Bap33 - sadly that didn't make a difference. I believe something changed from MY17 to MY18. Hence why it's not working on pre-MY18. Would b interesting to see how @Karlc28 got it going working on their MY17. Probably it's a 2017 build MY18, which would explain why it's working.
  14. There is a button on the B-pillar to turn off the interior monitoring.
  15. @Danoid - why is it a requirement that u want the foglight to dim?
  16. i don't have a tow bar either, so my bikes go on the bicycle rack on the roof bar.
  17. Ur link doesn't work - can't see the pic. As for lift kit, here is one I took earlier of Gandalf pretending....
  18. Nice holder u've created for the front area view camera But please tell me ur going to paint it black......
  19. given u have no Comfort mode, that is an indication u don't have DCC. visually, u can physically have a look at the shock absorber to see if there is protruding small cylinder bit, as shown by the red arrow in the pics below. if it does, u have DCC. if it doesn't, u don't have DCC. via the MIB unit - without DCC via the MIB unit - with DCC
  20. If u have the facelift Superb with Matrix Crystal lighting, then that bit lights up as the "Side Light". This is in addition to the fog lights cornering light function. This video explains and shows it clearly.
  21. Just change. No need to code or recalibrate, provided u haven't changed the DCC controller/module.
  22. Agreed, the Leyo paddle shifter extensions r next level in terms of fit, finish & feel. I got the silver ones on mine.
