Swapping front & rear wheels over issues?
Lol, as mentioned already above - find urself a new tyre place. Ur car has indirect TPMS. It has no internal wheel sensors, and uses the ABS sensors to determine tyre pressure loss, based on rotational speed. U can swap ur tyres front to back, left right, diagonal, any way ur heart is content - the TPMS won't blink an eye lid. Even if u did have direct TPMS, i.e. with wheel sensors inside, u can still swap tyres around without any issues. I have direct TPMS in my Superb, and I've swapped the tyres around with no issues at all. The TPMS module uses relative position to determine the wheel sensor location, and adapts to suit.

How to play music
Yes, I'm sure. On the surface, MIB2.5 and MIB3 screens look the same. MIB2 and MIB2.5 do not use/have USB-C slots. They can't as it's a different protocol. They can only USB-A. USB-C was introduced with the MIB3 units. Hence if ur car has factory fitted USB-C ports, it's MIB3..... simple.

USB-C indicates u have a MIB3 unit, not an MIB2.5.

DSG AutoHold at Traffic Lights without brake pedal held down
Hope ur insurance company doesn't find out u've got "defective" brake lights when a car/van/truck/bus smashes into the back of u, whilst stationary. Please please please, for the safety of others, and urself, do not medel with the brake lights behaviour!! If tail lights r too bright.....wear sun glasses during the day. They also have night glasses - wear that.

What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
A few years back I had changed my factory reverse light bulbs to Auxito LED bulbs. these were step up in lighting. recently i went with a different LED bulb and it was yet again another step up!!! these r the ones i got - iilumo Flare BA15S (1156) highly recommended.

Skoda superb mk3 coolant silica bag split
They no longer fit coolant tanks with the silica bag because they changed the type of coolant being used with newer cars. The new coolant type (G12 I think) doesn't need the silica bag, which the old coolant (G13 I think) needed in order to last between service flushes. Hence why it's no longer used with newer cars.

MY17 Superb SLA Headlights Upgrade - Help
MY15 - MY16 uses different headlight electronics to MY17 - MY19. MY20 onwards is different again. Unfortunately I do not have the parameter file for 55-headlights module.

280 4x4 wheels and tyres
The factory 19s (19x8) on the Superb r equipped with 235/40/19 tyres. Mine came with Pirelli P7 Centuro tyres. They weren't bad. As already mentioned in the post earlier - they're not a cheap size, nor as readily available. A few of us have switched to 245/40/19 tyres. It's more comfortable, cheaper, and easier to source. I'm now running ContiMaxContact tyres.

Rear Traffic Alert / Blind Spot Monitor currently unavail.
sadly no. front has been pulled apart. rear has been pulled apart. interior has been pulled apart. i think its just the roof liner that remains untouched!! 🤪

Rear Traffic Alert / Blind Spot Monitor currently unavail.
The rear cross traffic alert and lane change assist uses the same BSM radar sensors hidden inside the rear bumper. These r completely different sensors to the Parking PDC sensors. Likely an issue with the master sensor module (J769). Actual sensor.....

The issue is that they "rinse & repeat" the same App change across multiple models across the VW, Seat, Audi and Skoda range. It is not specific to the Superb. Hence there will b some Apps that make other unknown "black box" changes that can adverse side effects, which can b difficult to reverse or remove. Not saying all Apps cause issues, but it's just not worth the risk, especially when some of them cost 100 credits to apply. Which will also require the same amount of credits to undo, with no guarantees ur car will b restored to its previous state.

MY21 is facelift. Facelift has skinnier headlights and skinny foglights, and uses LEDs. I think they started rolling out from MY20 onwards. Top = facelift Bottom = pre-facelift

I personally would never use the One Touch Apps - way more risky and hard to undo when something goes wrong.

Front Collision Detection
+1 to wat @numskull said above. my front assist won't brake immediately, but if don't react with a couple of seconds, it will hit the brakes. my rear cross traffic alert on the other hand is trigger happy and will hit the brakes if a bird flies anywhere in the rear radar vicinity!!

Compairing MK3 to MK4
Agreed - on the outside it looks like a facelift of the current mk3 facelift!! I am however excited/keen on the following:- - DCC Pro/Plus. It uses two valves per shock, for better response rates. - New Smart Dials - New Interior dash, although the screen is a bit too big and potentially obstructs the view looking out.

What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
SLA = Smart Light Assist. It's Skoda's Gen 1 version of matrix lighting, but using special rollers and shutters to mask/bend/shape the high beam, whilst using Xenons. There r two types of Bi-Xenon headlights in the pre-facelift:- 1. Version A is non-SLA. It can do AFS and High Beam Assist (HBA). 2. Version B is SLA. It can do AFS and SLA. Physically u can tell the difference by looking at the part number on top of the headlight, the one that starts with 3V. If it ends in A, u have non-SLA. If it ends in B, u have SLA. Or turn on ur headlights (low beam) and see if the whiskers (7 thin strips inside the headlight) r illuminated. If they do - u have SLA. If they don't - non-SLA. The other way is to tell by the headlight start-up dance. If it makes a U-shaped beam during the sequence, it has SLA. The facelift Superb came with Matrix Lighting using LED tech, as is used by many other brands. The new mk4 Superb comes with an improved version of Matrix Lighting....so they say.
