@Danoid - here u go.... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/204100212481?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=52kk8DS-SF2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=lD_jGR-4Tj6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

hey hey. the usb cable length was 1.2m - Mcdodo USB Type-C data, charging cable. with the 12v USB socket, yes it sits fairly flush. it needs to b if u intend to keep the console closed. u also need a low profile usb head (end connector), which is why i got a 90 degree version of the usb cable. i'll have to find the link to the 12v usb socket and share it with u. i got it from eBay.

These r not standard or upgrade for Superb, let alone any other Skoda models, hence it's not right to put the details on that post. It's something that I made up myself. I bought slim 2.7mm LED strips from AliExpress, cut them into 12mm length, soldered the wiring & plugs, then stuck them to a grove inside the door pocket, along the top edge. I spliced into the door warning lights for power. It involves removing the door cards, so u can drill a tiny 3mm hole in the corner of the door pocket.

Latest project completed on Gandalf - added ambient lighting to the inside of the door pockets, so I can actually see wat stuff is in there. Wiring is piggy backed off the door warning light, so it turns on and off with the door open/close. All 4 door pockets now have ambient lighting 😁

That top panel is secured by torx screws as well as being clipped in across the top edge of the grill. See pic below - circles r torx screws. Dashes r clips. It is very difficult to remove from the top alone. I would recommend removing the entire front bumper, then u can easily access the two horns.

They exist now 🙂 They were introduced with the facelift Superb. Prior to that, ventilation was only available on the leather seats.

I don't know for sure, but I believe all OEM DCC shocks r Monroe, across Skoda, VW, Seat etc. etc.

A company in the US, called DSC Sport performed some shock dyno testing a few years ago on the Bilstein Damptronic B16's and they found that the Bilsteins only are able to control the rebound, while the factory DCC shocks are able to control both compression and rebound with their valving. "This means the Bilstein Damptronics are a less capable setup when looking at compression adjustment, but still happen to have slightly greater rebound range. Basically the only benefits to the Damptronics are adjustable spring perches to change ride height and stiffer springs. But are not beneficial when looking at the "active" functionalities of the shock. This is due to the valve used in this specific shock, however in other Bilstein kits we have tested, like the Porsche Kit, the valve is different and was able to control both rebound and compression."

U don't have to agree. I prefer practicality over appearance. If I had the option, I would prefer looking out a clean rear window than a dirty window. This is based on my experience of having a liftback with a rear wiper, and now having one without.

i miss having a rear windscreen wiper on my Superb hatch. i had one on my Octavia RS hatch, and it was great. the rear windscreen is so large, and mostly flat - it gets filthy, and i hate that. sadly we (in australia) never had the option to spec a rear windscreen wiper for the mk3 Superb. stupid. retrofitting one is not an option either, otherwise i would've done it.

I ordered a genuine AQS recently, 5Q0907643F, from ECS Tuning. Waiting for it to arrive. I currently have 5Q0907643D, from factory. My AirCare doesn't work, and occasionally I'll get an AQS error in Module 08, but no side effects. Am hoping this version will stop the errors and AirCare will b good. I too have read on various other forums of people buying the cheap AliExpress version, and then running into worse problems, and removing them in the end. My original AQS.....

I've got 245/40/19 tyres on the factory 19x8 rims. Car is also lowered and on 10mm spacers at the rear & 12mm at the front. No scrapping or scrubbing issues.

I always keep a finger or two on the steering wheel because I can't trust it 100%. However it's much much more relaxing to have, especially on long straight highways & freeways.

This is mine with 10mm spacers at the rear, 19x8 ET44 ...and 12mm spacers on the front

with the pre-facelift, on mine at least, having the start-stop active or not makes no difference - it is 3 secs for ACC to auto resume. i mostly drive around with Start-Stop inactive as its annoying in start stop traffic. i'm used to it now. i'm glad i got the lane assist duration changed from 12 secs to 60 secs would highly recommend it to anyone.

A 7 yr old Superb will not have the 7-speed DQ381 gearbox. That variant didn't show up until recently. It will have the 6-speed DQ250 gearbox. Either way, hope u have a happy ending n u get to keep the car.

Did u have a look at @MartiniB link above? He has put together a lot of Codings for the facelift Superb. It's great.

I couldn't resist Kopacek's recent 22% of sale, so i added some "aero fins" to Gandalf's rear end....diffusser. Removed the diffuser so i could paint it gloss black, then the aero fins glued on as a single piece. As a result, my drag coefficient has dropped now and my fuel consumption has improved remarkably!! ....yeah, and pigs fly too!!! 😝

My apologies - I didn't realise that the facelift Superb can wait 12-13 secs to automatically resume. That's excellent! Ur the first person I've read mentioning this. Makes sense though given the facelift Superb uses a different radar (2Q0) compared to the 3Q0 radar in the pre-facelift.

Sorry, the facelift Superb is a different beast with different electronics/modules - I have no idea about them, hence I can't help with that.

Yup, I'm well aware of that.

i believe u r referring to the adaptive lane assist guidance - this holds the lane for u, however u get a ding every 12 secs. the 12 sec lane assist time can be changed via parameter changes to the Gateway module. I've had mine recently changed (when i had the gateway updated for the DCC mod) from 12 sec to 60 secs. as a result, i can go for 60 secs without needing to touch my steering wheel, and as a result, my Traffic Jam Assist (lane guidance + ACC) operates handsfree for up to 60 secs before i have to touch the wheel. this is however different to wat is being discussed above. the setting for the ACC 3 sec resumption is deep within the parameters, and not something that is accessible via coding. as far as i know - no one has been able to crack/change this setting, be it VW, Audi or Seat models.

The Octavia wheels will look so small and lost inside the big wheel arches of the Superb.
