Badger came off worse
Yup, aware of that 🙂 I wonder how much smaller it is though on the AWD versions? Mine is 5.7L tank.

Badger came off worse
That's the DSG radiator that comes with the 280 AWD Superb. I think u also get that if u have factory fitted tow bar. Otherwise that's where the headlight & windscreen washer bottle sits, like mine....

Adaptive Cruise Control Cover - Skoda reluctant to change
Nope, changing or removing the cover does not require recalibration. I've removed my front bumper a few times now - there is no recalibration required. It's quite clear they forgot to order the cover. Not acceptable. If it was my car, I'd make them replace the cover for a new one. Or order the part urself n send them the bill. Anyways.....ur car....ur choice.

Adaptive Cruise Control Cover - Skoda reluctant to change
Its definitely a cover and can b removed on its own, as shown above. The cover is attached to the front grille on the bumper, and makes no contact with the ACC radar behind it. Having said that, when ordering a new grille, the cover is a separate item, and must b ordered seperately. There r two types, the one with chrome strips (like mine) and the one with black stripes (Sportline). Pretty sure ur guys forgot to order the new matching cover, and have had to chuck the old one on ur new grille. Front bumper removed. U can c the ACC radar above the crash bar, in the background..... ACC radar close up...... Grille separated from the bumper....

Bloody Drivers Seat Memory!
Exact thing happened to me many many years ago. Did all the the stuff mentioned - no luck. Car was under warranty then, so I took it back to the service centre and they fixed it by replacing the seat controller module under the driver's seat Part number before:- 5Q0959760B Part number after:- 5Q0959760C Been fine ever since.

Foot trunk open
The PDC Connector is to the left of the BSM module, on the right side of the car. There is another connector on the black diffuser, so u can remove the diffuser without having to remove the whole rear bumper. See images below.

L&K Suspension Tweaks
245/40/19. Original was 235/40/19. The 245 tyres r cheaper, more readily available, more comfortable, and more accurate speedo readings. Many here in Oz have made the switch to 245 tyres.
-
Odd door trim
given the car is a non-sportline Superb - it should b chrome trim all round. u can even see the front bumper lower trim is chrome as well. the black trim is out place and it is strange why they left the bits below the front window as chrome.

L&K Suspension Tweaks
all good. The DCC setup is 10mm lower than standard suspension, hence why the Eibach only drops it 20mm. good luck with ur setup.
-
L&K Suspension Tweaks
Mine is lowered 20mm on Eibach Pro-kit springs. The springs firm up the car a bit, and reduces some of the bouncing and wallowing. I've also got a stiffer rear swaybar - helps keep the car flatter when taking corners. ....and finally the DCC mod (which loads the VW Arteon suspension algorithm) that makes the ride perfect. The compression and rebounds r spot on, no more bouncing or bottoming out and u get 15 DCC settings instead of the usual 3 DCC settings. APR offer a similar thing - it's called Suspension Control Unit (SCU), but they charge 10x the amount I paid for the DCC mod. Coilovers r too expensive, especially the DCC compatible ones, and it's not perfect.

Mk3 superb estate. Wheel kit.
Lol. Wat @MartiniBexplained. My bad for thinking that everyone knows wat I mean when referring to "280"!! ....and I don't even own a 280 myself!! Then again, i was quoting someone else who also referenced 280 in the same way as I. One should connect the dots......

280 front brakes won't fit under 16". Need minimum 17".

A/C not working
As requested @Danoid there is plenty of clearance between the headlight wiring harness and the A/C compressor lines.

Permanently Disable Stop/Start
again not sure if this is a RHD vs LDH thing, but i was able push the connector block bit back down the rabbit hole - there was enough room, just.

Superb accessories
i've been buying stuff from Kopacek (previously SuperSkoda) for more than a decade now, stuff for my Octavia RS before, and now my Superb. never had any issues with the quality and fit of their products. never had any issues with delivery. only complaint is shipping costs, especially all the way to the other side of the world, Australia.

Cornering Light Error (AFS)
Usually it means something is up with ur light control modules - hence the AFS Error. As a result ur headlights r now in "limp mode", pointing downwards. There r two modules under each headlight. Not referring to the ballast module, which sits at the back, which u can see from the engine bay. Unfortunately to access the light control modules, u need front bumper off, which means front wheels off and wheel arch liners off. Worst case scenario - the motors inside have seized. In this case u'll need the entire headlight replaced. Using a scanning tool first - check for an error codes, before u go start replacing things. U can see the two light control modules in this pic - one black, one silver. This under the left headlight.
-
Permanently Disable Stop/Start
I used essentially used the same tool as that shown in @MartiniB pic. With the switch module - that centre wiring loom is for the entire switch module. In my case, it's the wiring loom for Start/Stop, Driving Mode and Traction control buttons. There is no need to swap the individual button positions.

Repair Queries.
it is not an easy job as it involves baking the entire headlight unit in an oven so u can soften the adhesive/bond holding the plastic cover to the headlight itself. once its off - u then need to remove all the left over adhesive/bond, clean it up, before applying new adhesive/bond and attaching the new plastic cover. warning though...... too hot and u cook the internal hardware & electronics, thus ruining the headlight completely!! not hot enough and u'll struggle to get the plastic cover off.
-
Permanently Disable Stop/Start
I pryed upwards slightly from the bottom, as shown in the pic above, then pryed and lifted from the top, in a similar manner at the top to lift up the entire switch panel. There was no need for me to remove the gear shift cover. Then again, mine is RHD, so the switch panels r reversed.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
I was dead set on swapping out my factory 19" Trinity for 19" Supernovas when I bought Gandalf many many years ago - but I've grown to love the Trinity and I think it's the perfect fit for the mk3 Superb. The Trinity is here to stay for..... infinity!
