It is definitely 3 secs. If only there was a way to extend this time to b a much longer time, like 10 secs or so.

Using a trim removal tool, pry at the top, between the glossy trim and the armrest centre console. Pull it (the whole gloss black trim) towards u, from the top, away from the console, and it should easily pop out. Then u have access to easily remove the air vents. It's easier to put it all back together.

Yup - that looks Business Grey. I've got one myself. Still as shiny as when I picked it up 6 yrs plus ago.

This video shows u how the Smart Dials work. It's not detailed, but it gives u a pretty good idea. https://youtu.be/JPWYXyvB29Y?si=T4zRUCjk7WWTJemu

Yes, new one is 15mm narrower.

If it has the writing "Crystal Lighting", then it has the Matrix Headlights.

if anyone is interested, below is a PDF I created of the various code changes I've made to my Superb (MY17) over the years. whilst some instructions r done with VCDS, and others with OBDEleven, the steps r essentially the same regardless of the tool - just the screens look different. this will work on 2015 to 2019 Superb. it won't work on facelift (2019 after) Superb, or at least there will b differences, which i can't assist with. enjoy 🙂 Coding - Superb MK3 - v3.1.pdf

Where? At Amazon?

I like the all new Smart Dials being introduced for the first time.

U need to have version B headlights, otherwise the eyelash coding won't work. Have u checked this physically? Those r instructions I created, and I've clearly stated that u need Version B.

Am talking about without the bikes on. I don't have aero bars, so it's expected to b noisy.

U can read about that here.

Those r NOT driving modes.

That's to do with how quickly (Sport) or lazy (Eco) the cruise control keeps up with traffic, and hence dictates the how the gap is maintained based on the "closeness" set. This has nothing to do with the DCC suspension.

If u have Comfort in Driving Modes, than u have DCC suspension. Otherwise u will only have Eco / Normal / Sport / Individual With DCC Without DCC

i have a hatch/liftback/sedan/limo Superb myself and use roof racks occasionally (during school holidays). i don't have pics of the actual mounting kit, but yes, those holes u indicated, 2x per door frame, is where the mounting kit hooks into, which the roof racks are attached too. i'm using Pro-rack roof bars, with 3x bike racks fitted on to it. easy to fit & use, and just as easy to remove. my only complaint is that i wish i got the aero version of the roof bars as these ones r noisy at speeds.

highly doubt that - aftermarket downpipes won't b impacted by that cover. It has been used by many Golf R owners, which uses the same engine as the 280, so there won't b any issues with the engine being able to handle it. I haven't changed the factory intercooler pipes - the OEM ones r more than enough for Stage 1.

Part numbers as follows:- 5Q0 825 236Q (x1) - front aero tray. WHT 000 729 A (x3) - hexagon socket head bolt, self-locking,(M8x20mm). 5Q0 825 229 C (x1) - Lining (cover) long length WITH heat shield material on reverse. N 038 549 4 (x4) - Black plastic push rivet A04A

The centre exhaust tunnel cover is just meant to keep the under of the vehicle more flatter. The theory/claims r that all the aero combined helps with smoother airflow under the car, meaning less turbulence, cabin noise and better fuel economy.

Got the intercooler upgraded on Gandalf, to the IE FDS version. much larger core than the factory version. should help with the little IS20 turbo to last longer and not run out of puff so quickly. should also help with keeping the IATs down during the warm/hot summer months. whilst the car was up, i got the last of the aero under trays fitted - in this case the centre exhaust cover. Long version of the Engine undertray plus Centre Exhaust cover in place now....

No increase in oil or water temps over short drives. Haven't done a long drive yet....

All good, no need to beat urself up over it. I was just surprised to hear that a TSi would come fitted with the longer version! Hence was trying to figure it out. Must say, the downside to the longer version is that it needs to be removed each time an oil change is needed. It comes off easily though.

u can find all the part numbers for that illustration here.

U sure about that? Can u see/access ur oil pan from underneath, without removing the under tray? As far as I know this only came with particular diesel models in the VWAG group got it. The petrol models only got the short version, including the Golf R, which the Superb 280 uses the same engine/drivetrain. ....unless u have the Rough Road package which comes standard on the Scout and Alltrack models.
