Skoda superb workshop manual
That is for the pre-facelift models. Frizz needs the workshop manuals for the facelift, i.e. 2020 onwards.

Help needed to change car skin
@Waylon - so 1382 is the last MIB2.5 firmware to contain the pre-facelift images? Dang-na-mit. I don't trust myself with the MIBToolkit. Guess I'll just have to live with FL image.......

Help needed to change car skin
@langers2k - MY18 & MY19 are pre-facelift Superbs that came with MIB2.5 units from factory, so yes, it is an official combo. when Skoda switched to the facelift towards the end of MY19 onwards - the image was changed to a facelift version. @Waylon - i'm currently running MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526_1 MU 1440. from the little i can find on Google, these are the codes (associated to 5F long coding):- - 038401 = Superb Sedan Liftback - 037901 = unknown??? - 038401 = Superb Sedan - 038402 = Superb Combi currently mine is set to 038401 byte 0 = brand byte 1 = car class/generation byte 2 = car derivate/derivate_supplement

TPMS retrofit
If u read the topic heading, it says "TPMS retrofit" - in other words this is discussion is NOT about the normal Indirect TPMS that uses ABS sensors. Rather this discussion is about Direct TPMS that has a module and 4x sensors, which can be retrofitted. I've retrofitted this to my Superb many many years ago.

TPMS retrofit
I'm not sure wat ur saying there - sorry. The Superb never came with direct TPMS, so I'm not sure wat part number ur referencing against. Wat "display car" r u referring to? U install the TPMS inside each wheel, and once u drive for a bit the module will workout which sensor is in which tyre, based on relative position of the signals received.

2025 Map update
@freelunch @Nitrama26 - I got mine from the Skoda Update Portal. It's the Rest of the World (RoW) version. There was no issue with extracting the P393 zip file. The issue was the Columbus not liking the update. When I initiate the update.... After a while, this error comes up (excuse the finger prints).... Then it gives this message saying it needs to restart in order to restore itself...... I currently have map version P373.....

2025 Map update
@Robbo12 - i'm having the same issues with the latest P393 maps. It gets an error, saying the update was interrupted, remove and re-insert the SD-card, and does a restart after 60 secs. initial update progress got up to 57% before the error popped up. second time round it got to 5%! i had downloaded the maps from the Skoda Update portal. looks like the MIB2 units r not liking wat they've done to the latest packaging for the map update!

Ramps
those r very similar to the ones i have, however they will not clear the front bumper of the Superb if the car is lowered. forget it if u have a front splitter like me!! lol so now i always have to use axle stands for the front. no clearance issues with the back though.

Skoda Superb 2016 Active Package Headlight Change
No u cannot fit xenon headlights to ur car without changing the wiring loom, AFS, A5 camera, Gateway and BCM. In addition, u'll also need leveling sensors, headlight washer gear (piping, washers, washer cap and bigger washer fluid tank). No, u cannot fit facelift Superb headlights as they r physically a different size to the pre-facelift ones. U'll need to change the front bumper and grille too. Both the above options r too much trouble. U r better off getting better bulbs for ur halogen and making sure ur headlights r aimed correctly.

Battery coding
The car alarm and it's battery is a combined unit, and is located inside the b-pillar. U can replace the whole unit with a new one. They usually last 6 yrs or so..... depending.

Help needed to change car skin
Anyone know how I can change the car variant/skin on my Columbus MIB2.5 infotainment from a facelift Superb (top pic) to a pre-facelift Superb (bottom pic)? I have a MY17 Superb which I recently did a conversion from MIB2 8" Columbus unit to MIB2.5 9.2" Columbus - as a result, the car shown on the infotainment screen is now a facelift Superb. I want to change this back to a pre-facelift Superb. The OCD in me is twitching everytime I see the screen!! I know MY18 and MY19 pre-facelift Superb came with MIB2.5 units, so it's a thing and not something different. Any help or advice would b much appreciated. Thank u.

2025 Map update
i haven't downloaded the latest version yet, however looking at the latest RoW version, its only 16GB!! that is significantly smaller that wat it has been normally over the years!! maybe they forgot to include a bunch of files, hence why its failing to update.

Start Stop Stall
I had that happen to me once, in the past 7 yrs - stalled when start stop tried to turn the engine on. Turns out battery was the culprit. Never had it otherwise.

Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and scrubbing question
The DCC Recalibration is highly recommended after lowering, or raising the car springs. I did mine via OBDEleven.

What OBD reader?
yes, provided u have the PRO or ULTIMATE plan.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Not yet, I'm still looking for one at the wreckers. Too expensive to buy brand new from Europe. I'm in no rush - as mentioned, u can't see the gap when ur seated inside the car, nor will u notice it when looking in through the windscreen, unless u specifically know where to look.
