Superb Sportline or L&K 272 or 280
The 272 engine is the GPF flavored version. This came later to meet Euro6 standards. The 280 is the non-GPF version. The 220/280 come with the DSG-6 (DQ250) gearbox. Newer ones come with the DSG-7 (DQ381) gearbox. The 272 generally comes with DSG-7 (DQ381).

New FL Skoda Superb 2020 tail lights - retrofit?
Mine r not real - i improvised with door edge strip protection. It's an L-shaped plastic adhesive, with a chrome finish, sourced from AliExpress. Hence no drilling or screwing. They've been on for 3+ years now and still solid, with no signs of wear. I used the same with side door protectors, to give the L&K touch.

Upgrade from Low to High rear Led possible?
High version Both inner and outer lights r illuminated. Chrome caps. Low version Only outer tail light is illuminated. No Chrome caps.
-
Upgrade from Low to High rear Led possible?
That's incorrect - there r different versions. High & Low versions. There was a thread about it yonks ago - will find it. U can tell by the inside chrome caps for each bulb, as well as if the inner lights light up or not.

Changing xenon bulbs to LED
+1 I'm not comfortable putting an aftermarket LED bulb, inside a headlight unit not designed for the heat it generates. To top it off, to then seal the headlight with the headlight cover, thus not allowing the LED fan to expel the generated heat!! No thanks. For short drives, it won't b an issue. However for long drives, it won't b good. I occasionally do long drives (2-3 hrs) at night - i don't want my headlight units internals to melt, or worse case - catch fire!! I'm happy with the upgraded Phillips XtremeVision Gen2 D3S xenon bulbs I've put in mine. https://youtu.be/fkRcEJIVlJU

Discovering AFS headlights after installing LED bulbs
Yup, it's all there in the user manual - about how the light changes based on different driving conditions, such as Urban, Highway, Rain etc. etc. Skoda has been using AFS2 in various models for a while now.

Skoda Superb Sportline with Chrome Grill?
I believe he's referring to the mk3 Octavia tyre sizes. They come on 19x7.5" rims, unlike the Superb which has 19x8" rims.

VCDS options on Superb III
1. No 2. No Unfortunately..... Although with #2, it can b done with VCP/ODIS by using a modified parameter file. It increases the time to up to 30 secs or so.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
AliExpress part I got before is no longer available. Will try n find a similar one n let u know. With regards to the Rieger side skirts - no the front mud flaps no longer fit, unless u modify them, which I did. Basically I cut the mudflaps to shape around the side skirts. The side skirts mount on to existing holes in the wheel arches, on each end. Along the centre, I used sikaflex automotive adhesive to hold it in place. It comes with all the necessary bits to mount it, and detailed instructions.... Been 3 years now - still holding strong.

Auto Hold system - always ON ?
I've never heard of Auto Hold being programmed or coded to be permanently on/off - factory or self done. Same goes for VW, Audi & Seat models too. Makes no sense, given Auto Hold stays on or off, depending on which position u left it. Sounds like the "Skoda dealer" has no idea, or is confused.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Mine is not OEM. It's an AliExpress part. As above - the hatch does not have a chrome factory part, like the wagon does, nor r they compatible.

Error: Dynamic Road Sign Display error
I get a similar thing, after a minute of driving, but it's a Warning, not an error for me. It is related to TSR (traffic sign recognition) and the associated map data. When TSR is enabled, in Fusion mode, and it's missing specific map data - it will display a warning "Dynamic Road Sign Display Restricted". TSR continues to function though, the warning will simply stay in the vehicle status screen. No errors r logged, nor is there any to b cleared as it's just a warning.

Headlight condensation 2016
Remove the headlight access cover at the back - drive around for a bit. No need to have the headlights on. Worked for me. Leaving it in the sun didn't do the trick for me.

Skoda Superb Sportline with Chrome Grill?
I've got a "hybrid" front grille on mine - black outside trim with chrome slats inside. Basically I replaced the chrome surround with a black surround. I like it. Matches my hybrid badge....
-
Skoda Superb Sportline with Chrome Grill?
Definitely the grille has been replaced and they've used the wrong version. Sportline cannot b specc'ed with Chrome trim in any market.

Does the Sportline have stiffer suspension?
My 220 Superb with DCC, Eibach Pro-kit springs, and 245/40/19 tyres measures (top of wheel arch to centre hub) 345mm (front) and 340mm (rear).

Does the Sportline have stiffer suspension?
Weird why ur 220 dropped more with AWD springs. R they AWD wagon version or AWD hatch version springs? AWD is much heavier than FWD. There r different set of springs for AWD vs FWD. In theory, if u use AWD springs in a FWD Superb - it won't drop as much compared to using the correct FWD springs. ...and vice-versa - if u use FWD springs in a AWD Superb, it will drop more than if it had the correct AWD springs. Need to get the combo right, in addition to wagon / hatch. i.e. body shape + drive type = spring set
