Option to enable/disable dynamic LED rear indicators.
Pre-facelift MY15 and MY16 uses module 55 for headlights. Pre-facelift MY17 to MY19 uses module 4B for headlights. Both can do eye-lashes/whiskers provided u have Version B Bi-Xenon headlights, combined with coding and matching SLA parameter file. They both use different SLA parameter files. Mine is MY17 with the 4B module. I retrofitted SLA to my Superb about 7 yrs ago, switching from Version A to Version B headlights.

That's incorrect. See my post above.

Option to enable/disable dynamic LED rear indicators.
Front headlight indicators will never sweep (dynamic). Doesn't matter pre-facelift or facelift Superb. It just doesn't have the hardware for it. On the other hand, rear indicators on the taillights of the facelift Superb can do it.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
No LSD. Galano has "Boost-by-gear" for FWD - very effective in putting the power down.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Gandalf has gone up a notch today - up to Stage 3. 297 kw 550 Nm at the wheels power. Not bad for a FWD Superb 220. Not flex fuel....yet. More info here.

Gandalf's Evolution
So Gandalf came back today, transformed into a Stage 3 machine!! A very nice upgrade, which I'm enjoying a lot more than the Stg 2 upgrade. It's still early days, but it just keeps pulling and pulling and pulling. Dyno reveals a nice healthy 297 kw (403 hp) 550 Nm at the wheels power. Mine being a FWD, the Galano boost-by-gear is working overtime, but doing a good job, to put most of that power through the front wheels. The car can break traction in 3rd gear if push really hard!! Upgrade involved:- Garrett Powermaxx GT2260S Stg 1 turbo Galano Port Injectors 1050cc HPFP T-Piece and Bung for split system NGK-R - Spark Plugs - Stage 2/3 Galano Pro ECU Stage 3 with TCU Upgrade Because of the turbo upgrade, they flushed and put in new coolant, as well as the engine oil and filter. Likewise wheel alignment was also done. I'm enjoying the drive a lot more now. Turbo has more drama now with whines and spooling noises. Dyno.... Pic of the Powermaxx turbo n the bits it came with... Marketing of the Powermaxx turbo..... Fitted.....

Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and scrubbing question
That part number is just the front springs alone. The full set is the one before it, beginning with E10. Hence if u have a FWD 2.0TDi Sedan u need E10-85-042-02-22. If u have the FWD 2.0TDi Wagon version u need E10-79-012-03-22. I have the sedan version, both front and rear sit at the same height.

Alloy Wheel change
I previously had the factory 19x8" ET44 Trinity rims with 12mm spacer front & 10mm spacer rear to get the fitment right. Now I have 19x8.5" ET35 rims. No spacers. Fitment matches that I had before with factory rims + spacers. The width of rim plus offset (ET) numbers r key to getting the fitment right.

Screenwash usage
I use my screenwash approx 3-4 times a week as I park my car outside during the day while at work - windscreen gets dusty, hence it needs a screen wash. That said, I would refill the windscreen wash bottle tank one every 3 months or so. Mine has the larger washer bottle tank as it has the headlight washer system too. I believe it's 5.7L tank.

LED High Beam Assist issue
if u have High Beam Assist (HBA), u should see this symbol appear in ur dashboard. it activates when u push the high beam stalk. if u don't see it, u don't have HBA enabled.

Hatch and Estate Rear Bumpers
most definitely NOT. front bumpers r the same. rear bumpers r not the same. same goes with lights front headlights r the same. rear headlights r not the same. u can't interchange between pre-facelift and facelift variants either.

The Superb III Picture thread
Agreed....rims look good, but those stretched rubber band tyres will give me kerb anxiety and jarr my spine as result of feeling every road imperfection!!

What have you done to your Superb III today?
@sreten - interesting to see how it all goes for u with the hardware combo ur using. Just to clarify, with the fuel system - I was referring to upgrading the port injectors. The stock HPFP is fine, as well as the fuel pump. This upgrade will utilise stronger 1050cc injectors to improve the port injection, used at low and mid range power. The direct injectors, used at mid to high end range, is all good. Currently the car (mine is a FWD 220) is making 320hp 515Nm at the wheels power. I'm not sure how much more this will increase after the Powermax, but if it hits 400hp, I'll b happy.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Nice....can't see any of ur pics though. How does it feel with the Powermax? Wat car do U have? Dyno results? Stock downpipe and stock fuelling!! Wow, that is going to restrict the Powermax big time!! I'm getting mine fitted in 3 wks time. Along with Galano injectors, spark plugs n Stg 3 tune. I already have an IE downpipe and intercooler, as well as R600 intake.

MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
MY15 and MY16 with 55-Headlight module can do SLA with version B lights - yes. But I don't have the parameter file for 55-headlight module.
-
MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
MY15 and MY16 use Headlight module 55 which requires a different parameter file for SLA. U can't use the 4B module SLA parameter file. I don't have the SLA parameter file for module 55. If u want to retrofit facelift headlights, u will not only need new headlights but u'll also need a new facelift bumper. Wiring is also different. BCM, Camera, AFS and LCM modules r all different. Way too much hassle.

What size wheels/tyres will fit to Superb III
yes, the chart is correct. u should have a closer look. saloon (3v3) and estate (3v5) share the same front springs. because saloon and estate front end is same same, just different variations based on engine and transmission type. saloon and estate have different rear springs. because wagons r heavier. nothing to do with engine or transmission type. hence, the overall part number will b different between saloon and estate, because the rear springs r different.

What size wheels/tyres will fit to Superb III
79-012-03-22 has a higher front axle load weight than the 79-012-02-022. 1100 vs 1070. That would indicate 03-22 is for the heavier DSG variants.
-
What size wheels/tyres will fit to Superb III
No rubbing with being lowered, ET35 and 245 tyres. Given u have the iV facelift version - I don't know wat the part number would b for the Eibach springs, let alone if they make a set for hybrid Superbs.

What size wheels/tyres will fit to Superb III
That's not my car, so I don't know the wheel specs. I myself have 19x8.5 ET35 rims with 245/40r19 tyres.
