JR RS

@etskoda - find out the PR codes for ur car to understand the exact brake setup u have. It will b on ur boot floor. In my case, I have a MY17 Superb 220, with the following codes:- - Front: 1ZA = 312mm, vented - Read: 1KU = 300mm, solid

Not the case for me. The factory brakes on mk2 Octavia RS lasted 80k+ kms before I changed them for dba pads & discs, even though they still had some meat left. My current mk3 Superb factory brakes lasted 92k+ kms, even though the rear still had another 5.5mm left. Changed for dba pads & discs again.

Any pics of it installed on ur headrests? Is it practical as intended?

But u don't have an RS3 engine......

a guy in the Netherlands has done that already - RS3 engine and gearbox in his mk3 Superb. look for him on insta - superb_vrs3 although the engine blew recently, which he is currently in the process of being rebuilt.

the Kodiaq has it too. suppa duppa expensive to get them, IF u can find someone that sells them!!

Remove the side trim on both sides of the centre console, next to ur knees to gain easy access behind the climatronics. U then run wires across comfortably.

@Bap33 - as previously mentioned, Manoeuvre Assist was introduced from MY18 onwards. MY15/16/17 doesn't have it, sadly.

I likey, and the fitment and install turned as I expected/planned. However, after a few days now, in the day time, I'm not convinced as it doesn't have the same intensity as the headlight DRLs. It's the same colour temp, but the brightness intensity needs tweaking. I'll play with the adaptation values to see if I can improve its appearance during the day time. Not sure if that will help as I think it's the actual light diffuser over the LED that is making the intensity subtle. Might have to find a cover some that has lens or reflector properties.

some carpark and night time shots.....

I used (copied) the same adaption values from my existing DRL lighting channels - Leuchte2SL VLB10 - LED daytime running light module signal (left). So it dims and brightness with the headlight DRLs. i can also control the dimming and brightness values through the coding. in theory its feasible on any Skoda models - the trick is to find a "not active" lightning channel which also has a corresponding physical pin on the BCM module, that is not occupied. u can read about the discussion/discovery process i had on that here. then its just a matter of running the wiring from the BCM module through the firewall and into the engine bay, down to the front bumper.

+1 I had exactly that, very very slow leak, and found evidence underneath the car, which confirmed where the coolant was leaking from.

MY16 doesn't have Manoeuvre Assist which stops (in case of emergency) the car during slow parking manoeuvres. Even my MY17 doesn't have it. Just the usual PDC 3.0 that gives u audio & visual feedback. No braking. Manoeuvre Assist was introduced from MY18 onwards.

Thanks. Had to make it look OEM, but with a plus 😊 Will take some night pics in the next day or two.

Gandalf's latest "project" is complete....Front Grille DRL light bar. Towards the end of last year Skoda released the new Kodiaq which has the front grille light stripe - I saw that and I decided that's my new project. The new mk4 Kodiaq... Been planning this since last year. I'm happy with how it's turned out. The light bar is connected to and controlled by the BCM, so it dims and brightens like the factory DRL, with the same coding. I used an empty lighting channel, Leuchte8F LB39. The front grille has an opening that is perfectly in line with the headlight's DRL - so perfect alignment for the light bar. The light bar I made myself, using an LED strip, a plastic holder, and a light diffuser. Fingers crossed that the light bar hold up against the elements. The light bar I made... Test fitting the clips to hold the light bar behind the grille. Mounted and wiring routed on the bumper to use the same path as the factory PDC and headlight washer wiring. Wiring from BCM was routed through the firewall, into the engine bay, they down to the factory wiring harness for the PDC and headlight washer.

Suspension needs to b in the "loaded" position when u change the endlinks. Not raised or extended. That's when the endlinks and swaybars have the least tension.

There isn't much significant improvements from mk3 to mk3.5 - from wat I've read over the years, No. The mk3.5 has issues with the infotainment (MIB3), a bit of cost cutting (no boot torch, less umbrellas, no premium audio), failing boot struts, just to name a few. Having said that, the new LED headlights and the new steering wheel r nice. The rest is the same - body panels, interior, mechanical bits.

I have the virtual pedal in mine, MY17, and it's not trigger happy like urs. Sounds like ur virtual pedal sensors r misaligned. There r two parallel wire sensors that run the entire width of the rear diffuser, between the exhaust. See "virtual" red lines in the pic below. One is along the edge/outside facing, whilst the other is on the inside, facing the spare tyre wheel well. Ur foot needs to go across both sensors, outside to inside, then back, to trigger it. Unfortunately the only way to access or visually inspect the sensor is by removing the lower rear diffuser....the black bit, as it's mounted on the inside of the diffuser. Then again, given urs is MY23, i.e. the facelift Superb - they might've changed the virtual pedal setup g made it worse, like they've done with many other things on the facelift!!

The mk4 uses a completely different parcel shelf design compared to the mk3 (pre-facelift) and mk3.5 (facelift). It doesn't bend in the middle to fold. The image on the Parkers website is a mk3.5

Interesting. That's a facelift Superb - must've been introduced then. The pre-facelift doesn't have it, nor the clips on parcel shelf.

That's incorrect - aftermarket springs do NOT require DCC to b turned off! They're just trying to scare u. Plenty have used lowering springs with their factory DCC shocks with no issues, provided ur springs don't lower the car by more than 35-40mm. A DCC Recalibration procedure is highly recommended once the lowering springs have settled. H&R or Eibachs r the popular tried n tested choice. I myself have been running Eibach Pro-kit springs for almost 5 yrs now. I have DCC, so the drop was only 20mm. Been no issues whatsoever, both DCC and springs, or any of the connected systems such as steering, lighting and braking. This is mine, before I changed the wheels.

I've never seen such an option or accessory for the mk3 Superb.

I'm guessing u haven't read the very discussion u've just posted in!?!? Numerous posts in this discussion have mentioned about the hardware, power, canbus and coding components. This discussion topic is about how direct TPMS was retrofitted to a mk3 Superb. Yet u ask if anyone has done it, and if there r any details!! 🤦‍♂️

Mine had reflectors on the rear doors as well - I did the wiring so I could put actual door lights, like the front. U can read about the discussion I wrote many years ago here.
