lol, more covers and engine bling to jazz it up the DSG tune is good - shifts r quicker, car feels more aggressive and feels more comfortable when pushing it. the Intake is not a big step up from my previous setup as i already had an aftermarket filter in the airbox, and additional open air ducts behind the grill. it does however sound a bit more gruntier, and seems to feel effortless when putting the foot down. the OCD in me is just making my eye twitch though when i look at the intake and notice its a "different black" to the rest of the engine bay covers!!! arrghhhhhh

Headlights
it should go left/right and up/down. if not, something is not right with ur lights. also, is ur Light Assist function active? u can check in the infotainment screen.

Front lights dance
The software fix delays the headlight start-up dance/sequence, so it doesn't get interrupted with the ignition and other electrics.

Skoda Superb 2010 - problem pairing new phone
based on ur profile, i.e. u have a 2010 mk2 Skoda Superb - u have an RNS-510 Columbus unit, which uses a separate bluetooth module (9w7 or similar) that usually sits under the driver's seat. this is completely different to the mk3 Superb setup. u r better off asking this question in the mk2 Superb forum.

Change from permanent to ignition fed accessory socket(s)?
#30 - 12-volt socket in luggage compartment (boot) #40 - 12-volt socket next to USB port (front centre console) both remain powered on, even after the car has been switched off. both r not a switched power source.

OBD connector on MkIII
+1 mine does not have a cover. the port itself is purple in colour.

...and it was all going so well (suspension issue)
The same levelling sensors r used by both the DCC and AFS (headlight) modules. Definitely related.

Seat electrics is my guess.

Rear clock
Would appear then u don't get the rear clock display if u have tri-zone climatronic. Tis a shame. But then again, the tri-zone climate control would b more useful.

Rear clock
Wow, I didn't know there was a version of the rear aircon controls that shows the time n outside temp!! Mine only shows the set climatronic temp. Mine is tri-zone climatronic. No outside temp or clock. I notice in the pic above it doesn't have the temp control, whereas mine does, which is specific for the rear zone only. This is mine....

What have you done to your Superb III today?
If u have DCC, the drop will only b 20-25mm. 35mm drop is for standard non-DCC cars. DCC is already 10-15mm lower than standard non-DCC, hence less drop with the lowering springs. Now that ur lowered - I would recommend u get a DCC recalibration done - will make the car even better, and stop crashing/bottoming out altogether. I did it 6 months after my car was lowered on Eibach Pro-kit springs and it made a big difference. Regarding spacers, yup 15mm hub-centrics r a good size to have.

No, it's the same as the rest of the world. Just some driver's personalisations. Skoda doesn't have a Superb vRS in any market.

How can i adjust full beam height on bi xenons with adaptive headlights ?
Essentially, at 7m away, the top of the low beam shining on the wall should be at or slightly below the height of the center of the headlight projector lens. hence u need to measure:- 1. centre of project lens to the ground 2. top of low beam cut-off to the ground. #2 should not exceed #1. ideally, #2 should b between 2-5cms lower than #1. obviously the ground must b level/flat.

How can i adjust full beam height on bi xenons with adaptive headlights ?
@mfearnuk- as @Bap33 explained - u can't adjust the low beam and high beam range separately. The manual adjuster moves the entire headlight internals. the mk3 pre-facelift is Bi-Xenon, i.e. it has a single xenon bulb that does both low and high beams, using the same projector housing. To make small adjustments to the headlight throw:- 1. Park the car approx. 7m away from a wall. 2. Turn headlights on. 3. adjust the nut labeled #3 and 4 in the pic below, as needed. make very very small turns (less than a quarter turn) each time. u'll the beam raise or lower, depending on which way u turn it. warning - if u make too much of an adjustment, u risk damaging the gears inside it. if u need to make large adjustments, u need to use VCDS to put the headlights in "learning mode", make the changes, then save the new position.

DCC is also connected to Steering and Braking. The same vehicle level sensors used by DCC also feed the headlight range control.

DRL advice and options for 2016 Skoda Superb
Sadly not an easy job. To remove the headlight, u need to remove front wheels, wheel arch liner, and front bumper. I've attached a how-to-guide I made. Removing Front Bumper.pdf

DRL advice and options for 2016 Skoda Superb
Hmmm.....in that case try changing the Light Control Module (LED Driver) first - its plugged into the bottom of the headlight. Part No. is 8U0 941 329 Tis the black module in the 2nd pic below.

DRL advice and options for 2016 Skoda Superb
i'm assuming the indicator is also affected by this too. look at local wreckers for a secondhand one. if ur sourcing from overseas - make sure u get the right version, i.e. 3V2941015B. u can buy them from overseas for a 3rd of wat the dealer is asking!!! $1650 is robbery!!

What have you done to your Superb III today?
PR-1D4 = Swivelling trailer hitch PR-1D0 = without trailer hitch preparation PR-1D7 = with trailer hitch preparation If factory fitted, u'll have both PR codes 1D7 & 1D4. So if you have the 1D7 code all you need is the Trailer Detector Control Unit (J345) and the wiring to the socket, and the socket near the tow bar. Install that then you need to get the car coded at the dealer (or do it with VCDS if you have one).
-
What have you done to your Superb III today?
If factory fitted - yes, because Australia is a "hot country" classification. PR code is 8Z6. PR code for trailer preparation is 1D7. If dealer fitted or aftermarket - it won't have it, unless it came with Towbar/Trailer Preparation.

+1 I think I read that somewhere too - "Skoda fits an upgraded radiator and oil cooler for the gearbox when a towbar is factory fitted, to allow the vehicle to happily stay inside operating parameters while towing at full capacity."
