  1. don't buy stuff from AliExpress and expect it to b the same quality as OEM, especially lighting stuff.
  2. That I don't know unfortunately as I don't have one myself. I however found this from research I did about 6 yrs ago. It shows how the lower door trim is fixed on to the door itself. I did however improvise by making my own chrome strip, using L-shaped door edge stripes, from AliExpress.
  3. the lower door trim on the L&K and Sportline model have a different trim with indentation that caters for the stripe (chrome for L&K and black for Sportline). other models don't have this stripe, hence don't have the indentation in lower trims. The stripe is normally sold with the lower trim piece - not alone. the lower trim needs to be color matched to ur car. the lower door trim is glued and screwed into the door pane. requires removal of the interior door card removal to access the bolts. there used to b a website that sold this, for super crazy expensive prices - https://www.skodaautoteile.de however this site doesn't seem to work anymore. an alternative is Kopacek or AliExpress. they sell just the chrome/black stripe stick-on version. this is the Kopacek one - black version:- for Superb III - side doors bottom stripes glossy black 4pcs set - SPORT LINE | Kopacek.com - Skoda Tuning with worldwide express shipping
  4. glad to see the guide is still being helpful in total now, i've removed my front bumper half a dozen times now, for various reasons. i agree - i don't understand how people r able to remove the upper or lower grilles without removing the front bumper entirely, given the number of clips and torx screws everywhere. yes its a hassle to get the bumper off, but once its off - it is so so much easier to access every clip and screw, without obstruction.
  5. @Sko101 - as mentioned above, MU1433 is the latest version for the MIB2 units.
  6. No offense taken - all good 🙂 Thanks for pointing it out.
  7. My bad....I should've said EA888 Gen 3B engine cover. I incorrectly assumed the FL Superb used the same cover. I'll update my post.
  8. This topic has been covered many times. Given u have the 280 AWD, part number u want is either:- E10-79-012-04-22 for wagon/estate (3V5) E10-85-042-03-22 for sedan/saloon (3V3)
  9. Definitely not normal behavior for the DSG-6 DQ250. Have u tried doing the same but with Autohold turned off beforehand?
  10. Have u performed the "Confirmation of Installation Change" procedure yet? U need a new XOR Key to fix this. It's all explained in a how-to-guide I created a while ago. Although given u changed BOTH screen and headunit, u probably don't require this step.
  11. For those interested, the EA888 Gen 3B engine cover fits nicely on pre-facelift Superb. U just need 2x engine cover ball studs (WHT007324) for the engine cover. It screws into pre-existing mounting holes on the intake manifold. My original engine cover had APR badges on it which was no longer relevant, so I ended up replacing it with the Gen 3B engine cover version. The two ball studs screw into pre-existing mounting holes on the intake manifold. Engine cover part no. is 06K103925CK. I stuck a Skoda badge on top of the VW logo 😁
  12. My original engine cover had APR badges on it which was no longer relevant, so I ended up replacing it with a EA888 Gen 3B engine cover version. It fits just fine, just needed to add two ball studs, WHT007324. The intake manifold already has mounting holes for the studs to screw into. Nice n easy. Engine cover part no. is 06K103925CK. I stuck a Skoda badge on top of the VW logo 😁
  13. Battery Adaptation coding can b done via VCDS or OBDEleven. This is the coding.....
  14. Nope, too complicated to do all that and most likely I'll stuff something up and brick the unit. I'm not comfortable doing that.
  15. So I had another look at the coding again. Comparing mine to an MY18, the first 6 codes r the same, i.e. 038401. But I noticed Byte 17 and 18 r also related to the Skin and Screen. Prior to me doing the MIB2.5 upgrade, byte 18 was set to "00". Post the upgrade, it changed to "03". Perhaps if I change this back to "00" it might revert it to the Pre-facelift image. Will try it some time in the next few days and report back.
  16. agreed, that would b ideal - someone with a non-FL MY18 or MY19. after i did the MIB2.5 upgrade, my 5F long coding starts with 038401. weirdly, before i did the upgrade, it was also 038401. confusing big time!!! which leads me to think the info is stored elsewhere, somewhere, but i can't figure out where. nothing on the internet seems to help with resolving this case. i'm guessing urs is 02 at the end cause u have a Wagon/Estate? mine a sedan/saloon.
  17. Unfortunately no. I haven't been able to figure it out, nor has anyone been able to help. I've learnt to live with the eye twitch every time I look at the Vehicle Info screen.....
  18. as already mentioned above - it's located under the driver's seat.
  19. With the Virtual Cluster, please pay attention to the anti-theft version. U must check whether if it is 5C anti-theft or 5A anti-theft. In ur case, given it's MY17, u will need version 5A. 5C is the latest anti-theft system. 5A is the old anti-theft system. 2014-2019 uses the 5A anti-theft cockpit. Superbs produced after 2020 can b either 5A anti-theft or 5C anti-theft. Need to check the anti-theft system. If the anti-theft system and the cockpit do not marry up - it will not work. 5A and 5C versions r different anti-theft systems. They cannot be used mutually exchanged. Given urs is MY17, u won't need a new BCM. Just a new 9.2" screen, M.O.S.T splitter cable (if u want maps displayed), firmware upgrade to MIB2.5 and the right virtual cluster. U can't upgrade to MIB3 - it's a different setup altogether.
  20. new wheels suit the car nicely 👍
  21. No it won't rub. Even with wider 245/40r19 tyres, which many of us switch to. Add 10-15mm spacers n it still won't rub. U'll have no issues whatsoever. This was mine before - lowered 25mm, 245/40r19 tyres, 12mm front + 10mm spacers.
  22. On the bottom of the B-pilar there is a button to disable the alarm. Car alarm won't go off when it tilts when being towed or on a ferry.
  23. All good, but I'll pass, thanks. The current 5Q0 is fine. Single adjacent Lane detection is all that is needed. I don't need multiple lane. Longer range I can live without. RCTA it already has this.
  24. Wat is the benefit of the 2Q0 controller?
  25. If ur referring to my 3C Lane Change Assist module - yes. 5Q0907686B
