What have you done to your Superb III today?
I like Rotis. Gandalf likes Rotis. Together, they make a good form!! 😂 Really pleased with how these turned out, and the fitment is spot on. Rotiform LAS-R 19x8.5 ET35 Matte Black

3x Isofix : which markets|trim levels?
I have an Aussie Superb - only the outer rear seats have Isofix points, and rear tether points. The middle seat only has an upper tether point.

Easy fit dash cam
correct, the option is there from MY21 onwards, on a number of new models. Optional USB-C port above the rear-view mirror - Škoda Storyboard (skoda-storyboard.com) that is certainly handy to have.

Easy fit dash cam
Simple answer - no. The interior lights turn on/off based on varying conditions, which is not good for a dashcam.
-
Fog lights
yes, definitely fixed - no moving bits. they r used as "cornering lights", but unlike the headlights, they don't swivel. it just turns on the individual fog light on the turning side/direction.

Part number needed if possible
sounds like u r referring to either the additional USB port, or light. the USB port is not standard, and usually there is a blanking plate there if its not factory fitted.

No luck. I've given up on it. Could b my model year, 2017, that doesn't play ball.

Blind Spot monitor not working
No, they r not behind the wheel arch liners. They r directly below each tail light, inside the rear bumper. just ignore the text in the image.

TSR long coding
TSR depends on the map data available for ur country. Here in Australia, we don't have the necessary map data, ROW maps, hence we get a warning message at each start up, with only the camera detected speed signs shown. Some countries have the necessary map data, hence will show either map or camera signs, or both. Nothing u can do unfortunately.

Dry or wet age? Old question
generally - if it makes more than 250 Nm, then it will have a wet-clutch DSG (DQ250 6-spd or DQ380/381 7-spd). the lower powered engines come with the dry clutch DSG, i.e. the DQ200 7-spd.

The Superb III Picture thread
Been more than 3 months since Gandalf had a wash 😕 Happy with how shiny it still turns out, despite being almost 7 yrs old 😁

2023 Superb 280 Sportline Plus 4x4. A good buy?
It's the L&K standard 19" wheels.

2023 Superb 280 Sportline Plus 4x4. A good buy?
nothing wrong with a bit of chrome u can fix the wheel arch gaps by fitting some lowering springs. L&K r nicely specc'ed. Sportline not as good, but have other nicer looking trim options that u don't get on the L&K model. mine is non-Sportline MY17 - no regrets.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Yup, that's plan B, if there is no interest locally to buy it. I spoke to two different exhaust shops here n they both said they can "make it fit".

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Would b cheaper to cut my losses n sell it to a local Golf GTi owner here in Oz, rather then pay to have it shipped back to the UK, and then pay shipping for the exchanged version. I've been chatting with RPM Performance in the UK - turns out I should've got the mk3 Octavia RS version!! I had seen it previously on their website before, but I didn't know they had an Anti-Drone version of it too. Grrr.....stupid me. Hard lesson. In the pic, u can see the difference in angles between the two here.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Today I tried to fit a RPM Performance Resonator Delete Anti Drone pipe. Sadly, it wasn't possible. My assumption that mk7 Golf GTi and mk3 Superb 220 share the same centre resonator box was wrong. The piping length and angle on the Superb 220 (162TSi) differs to the mk7 Golf GTI, even though it's the exact same engine. Seems it's only similar up to the downpipe, from them it's different, including the centre resonator box. This morning I took the car to an Exhaust shop and we put the car up on a hoist to see the fitment. The piping between the front clamp (to downpipe) and the resonator box is about 2-3 inches short on the resonator delete pipe. The Superb factory resonator box has a longer pipe length between it and the downpipe clamp. On the other end, where it bends towards the rear wheel suspension, the angle/curve on the resonator delete pipe is not enough, hence it won't line up. The factory pipe bends almost 80 deg or so, whilst the resonator delete pipe bends about 60 deg or so. I should've taken pics when the car was up on the hoist to show the difference. Disappointed I am, big time. 😪

What have you done to your Superb III today?
G13 requires silkat bag to make it last longer, hence does not need to b changed/flushed as often. G12evo does not require silkat bag, however it is not meant to last long and should be changed/flushed more frequently.

Parking sensors, blind spot detection and Park Pilot stopped working after dealer fitted new sensor mounting clips.
ur bang on - it is an OBDEleven vs VCDS thing. i just had a look at my previous scans, when i used to have VCDS, and it refers to it as #10. Address 10: Park/Steer Assist (J791) Labels:| 5Q0-919-298.clb Part No SW: 5QA 919 298 B HW: 5QA 919 298 A Component: PLA 3.0 12KH07 0038 Serial number: 000308417617066 Coding: 0371167051 Shop #: WSC 33361 790 00141 ASAM Dataset: EV_EPHVA2CAU3700000 009032 ROD: EV_EPHVA2CAU3700000.rod VCID: 4FFB714427507503BA8-801A No fault code found.

Interesting that ur Park Assist is on a different module Address - Address #10, whereas mine is on #76. 76 Parking Assistance System description: PLA 3.0 12K Software number: 5QA919298B Software version: 0038 Hardware number: 5QA919298A Hardware version: H07 Serial number: 00030841761706600569 ODX name: EV_EPHVA2CAU3700000 ODX version: 009032 Long coding: 0371167051 Trouble codes: No trouble codes found Anyway, wat is even more interesting, as u showed, there were no fault codes before with ur Park Assist, so why did they carry out a "software configuration and coding"? I wonder if they ended up replacing one of the PDC sensors, hence their need for config & coding, which in turn is causing u the issues now? Dunno. if u can, get another scan done so u can see wat the current error is.

Skoda Superb Sportline 2018 Spare Wheel
Not sure wat u r trying to say here. I'm merely stating that the 205/55/16 is a standard/normal spare tyre size for the non-AWD. They (Skoda) know about the size difference, and so do the systems, hence there is a reason why they put a sticker on the spare tyre stating no more than "80 km/h". If u have a FWD, u should not b putting the spare on the front driving wheels.

Skoda Superb Sportline 2018 Spare Wheel
@Rooted - nothing crazy about that for the FWD Superb. My Superb 220, with factory 19s, was supplied with a 16" proper sized spare. It's designed for that. The Superb 280/272 on the other hand can't use a 16" spare on the front, and hence come with an 18" spare. 17" min to clear the brakes. I've since changed mine to a 19" full sized spare.
