JR RS

downpipes for FWD MQB is wat u need to look for. hence downpipes for mk7 Golf GTi or mk3 Octavia RS will work for the Superb, although the Golf ones might b a tad short. ideally get a Catted downpipe. the Catless downpipe r rowdy and create a stink.

Unfortunately no, u can't run the wire from the outside taillights to power/operate the inner lights. These lights r controlled by the BCM - not like the old days where u could simply tap into an existing wire.

There's ur problem!! Fix that then ask for help. I know it's expensive, but get a genuine cable if u want to do things properly and don't want issues. Alternatively, get an OBDEleven. Early mk3 Superb models (M15 & MY16) used an older setup which used to have coding in the 09 module, as well as a few others. From MY17, they changed things, resulting in the use of adaptations and putting 0s in coding.

No idea wats going on with ur setup.... sorry. Is ur VCDS cable genuine? Have u got the latest version of VCDS installed on ur laptop?

Did u enter the security code? Also, there is no Coding possible for 09. Ur screenshot shows long coding screen. U can't do coding as it's all done via adaptations. U need to go to the adaptations menu.

U need to make changes in both the A5 and 09 modules. This is the coding to enable HBA....

@Dave77 - nicely finished there. 👍 I don't remember if I had a locking nut behind it - it's been a while since I installed this.

@Dave77 - I butchered mine out cause I wasn't planning to reuse it. I too couldn't work out how to free it. As for the wiring, the USB socket comes with a black connector that plugs into the existing 12v socket wiring loom.

I replaced the rear 12v socket with a Dual QC USB ports on Gandalf a couple of years ago. It sits flush. I have a 90-deg cable which allows me to close the compartment so it is out of sight. U can read about wat I did here.

It's a simple metal bracket - 4x of them. 2x per light bar. One side is glued to the top of the light bar, and the other end glued to the back of the the grille. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of how it's mounted.... sorry. The bracket... A close of how it's aligned behind the grille..

thank u :) please NOTE that this is not a Light bar that will give u additional light on the road. this is a DRL light strip. it functions as a DRL and complements the existing DRL in the headlights. with regards to the clips, no they didn't come with the clips. the clips i used r for holding down electric wires/cables. it just so happened to b the right size. however since then, i've changed the DRL light strip to a version that is made for the mk6/7 Golf GTi front grille. details here. to fix these to the grille, i used an L-shaped bracket to hold them in place.

Once ur logged in, navigate the folders as follows... MQB_Solution MHI2 - HARMAN Firmware Skoda U'll find the appropriate firmwares there.

Missing out on those very things would b hard pass on the mk4 Superb for me. All those things make a big difference for everyday driving and enjoyment.

Won't b the same as facelift uses completely different headlights to pre-facelift.

I changed my CH/LH to turn on the fog lights instead of the low beam lights. The DRLs + rear lights turn on already by default. Plenty of instructions available online if u search for it.

I still get comments from people asking how recently did I buy the car or where I get the car detailed!?!? U don't need to b fancy to keep a car looking "new". Of course, if u have the time, money and patience - a full proper wash & detail is the way to go. Nothing wrong with that.

tis nothing more than a high-pressure foam covering followed by the good old "wash & wax" combo shampoo, followed by a tire shine. nothing fancy. no 3+ hrs time spent. no 2 bucket method. no detailing.

Don't put different sized tyres at the same time!! U either stick to 235/40/19 tyres on all 4 corners, or u change all 4 corners to 245/40/19 tyres at the same time. Don't have 2 of each type. Insurance will b void, and ur ABS will not b happy, hence it will disable some of the assist systems, including ACC.

u haven't mentioned if ur car comes equipped with DCC suspension or not. with DCC, putting it in "Comfort" mode should absorb a majority of the harshness. however, given that u spend a lot of time driving on country rural roads, i would recommend dropping to 18" tyres, which will give u a much thicker sidewall. the Superb has the option of 18x8" rims on 235/45/18 tyres. the 19" tyres will only give u so much relief. a number of us have gone up from the standard 235/40/19 tyre to 245/40/19 tyre size. the extra sidewall height improves comfort levels.

First wash for Gandalf for 2025. Scrubs up well after almost 8 yrs 😁

If ur going to put a Garret turbo in, don't skimp out and get the supporting hardware. The intercooler and downpipe, minimum. If ur doing Stage 3 power levels, then u should do the HPFP. Otherwise, don't b surprised if u blow up the turbo, or something else down the line.

As above - u need to disassemble the entire headlight unit. One of the steps involves putting the headlight in the oven so u can soften the glue to separate the lens from the body. It's a big job and u could likely cause more damage to other components in the process.

I'm sorry, I got my wires crossed. Ignore wat I said. Wat @ope126 said - 100% correct.

The interior monitoring alarm + battery is located at the bottom of the b-pillar, behind the trim.

That is the latest version for an MIB2 unit. MHI2_ER_SKG11_P3325 MU 1433 U can download firmwares from MIBSolution.
