What have you done to your Superb III today?
I put Auxito T10 W5W LED bulbs in the glovebox about 4 yrs ago. It is still going good, no issues with it - open or closed, moving or stationary. I put Kopacek (Superskoda) units in the boot and door warning lights - they too r still going great. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/372661798890?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=Z15-RgX2SWu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=lD_jGR-4Tj6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Engine Cover Dealer Delete
Thanks for clarifying @fencer 👍

Engine Cover Dealer Delete
Most new Skoda vehicles being delivered here don't have engine covers anymore. It's not just Skoda - VW cars too. The latest crappy hard/soft foam engine cover is a fire hazard - hence why they're been dumped, literally. I'm glad I don't have the latest EA888 Gen3 engine in my Superb cause I like my covers.

VCDS options on Superb III
I don't believe so. He said he's got metal clips in the headlights - it means he's got version A headlights, hence he has non-SLA headlights. He can activate the auto high beams, aka High Beam Assist (HBA). If it had the round green clip holder, instead of the metal springs, then it would b the version B headlights, hence it could do the fancy auto high beams, aka Smart Light Assist (SLA).

Never use the same original bolts if ur using spacers!!!! U MUST get longer bolts that match the thickness of the spacer being used.

I put Phillips XtremeVision Gen2 D3S xenon bulbs in mine almost 4 yrs ago. They're brilliant. https://youtu.be/h4MRMKYGTTY

VCDS options on Superb III
there is a setting "Light Sensor sensitivity" in the infotainment, under Light Settings, to select Early, Medium or Late for the auto headlights. have u tried that?

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
In my case, I didn't have to physically change the Gateway (3Q0907530C) or DCC (5Q0907376A) module. The guy who did this for me used VCP to update the software versions and upload the parameters. I don't know the VCP procedure/steps involved. I'm not sure wat tools he used to source the software and datasets. It's a cost service he's offering - so he'll b keeping it a "closely guarded secret".

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
No, it's not unintentional - it makes total sense now that I've read the SSP on DCC. The algorithm influences the shocks behavior and the power steering responsiveness. The parameter dataset is not "generic". It is the same dataset used by the Arteon and Passat B8. They come from factory with the DCC parameter dataset. Pretty sure "other things" won't b changed, or have unintentional behaviors.

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
A few days after getting the DCC Slider mod done, i was wondering why the Steering felt "different", e.g. in Normal mode, the steering weight was slightly heavier/firmer. In Comfort mode, it felt less disconnected and more like Normal. Thanks to @varooom sharing a link about the technical workings of the DCC system - it shows the power steering module is part of this system too, as it interacts with the DCC module. Hence it seems the new DCC parameters/algorithm better mapping has also improved the steering weight/feel. An added bonus I wasn't expecting with this mod.

Request: Someone with a superb with a passenger memory seat.
so ur passenger seat has the memory seat buttons, like the driver's side? maybe it is a new thing on the facelift Superb. i'd b very surprised though. like this.....

What have you done to your Superb III today?
500+ horses!!! Have u got a TCU (DSG) tune? If not, getting it might allow u to unleash more Torque.

DCC Slider adjustment option mod
It doesn't matter wat MIB version u have as it also works with MIB2 units. Provided u have the right Gateway and DCC HW modules, which mine already had. Just needed updated SW version. I have an MY17 and I got the DCC Slider mod last Friday - everything works. The new DCC parameters r simply brilliant. The car has transformed. It feels more composed. It has completely eliminated the remaining bounce effect. Suppa duppa pleased with it 👍🏽 Forget getting aftermarket dampers - get this mod! I had already done the DCC recalibration a while ago so there was no need to re-do that again.

Request: Someone with a superb with a passenger memory seat.
I'm not aware of any Superbs that came with a Passenger's "memory" seat. Driver's memory seat - yes. Most cars do not have memory for passenger seats. Passenger Electric seat - yes Passenger Electric memory seat - no, at least not that I'm aware of.

Gandalf's Evolution
Thanks for that - exactly wat I was looking for cause I remember it having some diagrams that might help - I just couldn't find it. It shows the location of the accelerometers on pg 24 - G341, G342 and G343.
-
Gandalf's Evolution
hmmm.....unfortunately i have no idea about the DCC accelerometer locations. i didn't realise that was a thing. i'm only aware of the suspension level sensors that DCC module uses, as well as the headlights for levelling. there is two up front (one on each suspension control arm), and one at the rear, on the left suspension control arm.

USB.......Data or just charge??
i have not heard of any Skoda dealers, anywhere, doing retrofits like this - so good luck. but if u did manage to find one that will do it for u, it will basically involve:- - removing existing USB port in the front to access USB data wiring to the infotainment. - removing centre console attached to the armrest storage so u can route the wiring and put the additional USB port in the blank space. - spicing into a 5V power source, for the USB hub module. - coding in the infotainment to enable the additional usb port.
-
USB.......Data or just charge??
Tis a bit of a hassle, but doable. If u want to retrofit it, u basically need the following:- - 5G003595D - USB HUB to 3 ports - 3G0035643- holder of the HUB - 5G0035222E - Volkswagen MIB2 Carplay USB/AUX Port Audio Input Socket Harness Plenty of kits can b found on AliExpress or eBay.

Gandalf's Evolution
I did not replace any modules. This involves just software - using a different dataset of parameters. A person I know has the special ODIS and VCP tools which enables him to update the software revisions, and load parameter datasets. For this, the dataset used for the Arteon & Passat was loaded into the Gateway & DCC modules. So not only do u get the DCC Slider (15 levels), u also get a much better/effective suspension mapping, resulting in a much much better ride. U definitely feel the difference - it's no placebo effect. The car feels more composed. It has completely eliminated the remaining bounce effect. The suspension settles much faster. No more body roll. Really pleased with it 👍🏽 An alternative that I've recently seen on the market is APR's SCU tune, however that replaces the existing DCC module with their own, and it costs 100x the amount I paid for the DCC Slider mod. https://www.goapr.com/products/suspension/suspension_controller/

Additional Jack Points
That's correct. They shouldn't, and normally don't use the inner jack points for 4 post hoists because it's less visible, and the rear ones r behind a plastic cover/lid and almost recessed. All the different garages I've taken my car too - they've always used the jack points on the sills.
-
Additional Jack Points
Yes, the inner jack points r for the axle stands. I've used it plenty of times. This is the fronts.... With wheel arch liner removed - u can see the "strengthening" behind it, into the chassis.
-
Gandalf's Evolution
I've finally jumped on the DCC Slider mod bandwagon. The new DCC maps give the car a much more composed ride. We didn't have to do the DCC recalibration as I had already done that a while ago. While there, I also got the 60 Sec Lane keeping tweak. Tis good not having to touch the steering wheel every 12 secs 🙂 The DCC slider mod requires the Gateway module to b updated and loaded with the appropriate maps, including updating the DCC module software update. The 60 Sec Lane requires a software update on the A5 (camera) module.

Additional Jack Points
Mine is not bent, rather the thick rubbery paint located there has been squished and shifted. Happens each time a jack lifts it. Not sure how u would strength them, if u needed to.
