JR RS

No, its not a direct replacement. The unit will physically fit, but wiring harness is different for both inner and outer units. If ur getting the chrome or black strip that goes across, then u'll need that trim piece plus new RVC, and the boot button to go with it. Once all done, u'll need coding done so it does the proper startup and shutdown light sequence.

i understood that bit - Kodiaq to Superb. wat i don't get it why u want the code for the new facelift Superb when u seem to have a pre-facelift Superb. with the tail lights - no, the tail lights r different between sedan and wagon variants.

so do u have a facelift Superb? cause if u did, why did u "upgrade" backwards to a MIB2.5 unit when the facelifts comes with the new MIB3 units? if u have a pre-facelift which u upgraded to the MIB2.5 unit, then why would u want to use the new facelift code/picture? makes no sense......

This is the one I got. I just didn't put the lid bit. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/114847975255?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=fpFyzQMMT3O&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=lD_jGR-4Tj6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Tis fairly easy to remove the black trim on the side. On the far right, u'll c a small plastic cover (#1), that can b popped out using a small flathead screwdriver. This will reveal a torx screw (#2) that u remove. Once the screw is out, u simply slide and pull out the trim (#3) gradually.

I've put double USB ports in place of the 12V port. See here - Originally I planned to retrofit a fully fledged (Android Auto & CarPlay capable) USB port inside the centre arm rest console, like the factory option, but it requires more hardware and more trim removal. So I ended chosing this alternate way.

For my Blackvue dashcam I used fuse location #47-Rear Window Wiper. It's only powered on Ignition.

I agree, an access panel, from the wheel arch, of sort would b so handy. I don't have the skills to fabricate one unfortunately.

U can use either VCDS or OBDEleven to disable the tailgate beep, using these instructions:-

I've got the same DQ250 gearbox in my 220 - no clunking when going down to 1st, when in Manual mode.

Unlike the mk2, the Bluetooth module is embedded in the glovebox unit.

I don't know if that would b the case. I just made sure I had no trapped air by using a squeegee, and stretching the vinyl as I laid it down.

Window trim surrounds will b way easier than the front grille - much easier.

I've got a stiffer/thicker rear swaybar, 25.4mm, and it works very well with the lowered springs (Eibach Pro-kit).

Yes, I tried plasti-dip first, ages ago - was not working for me. I kept finishing with bubbles and a texture finish that was not nice. I had done the lower grille chrome trims before, with plasti-dip, ages ago. This time round, no luck. No, not doing the window trims.

I used just regular gloss black vinyl wrap. Air release, and a heat gun. It's very easy to remove afterwards. This is the specific one I got:- https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/224645540428?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=1TXFXzlIRjG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=lD_jGR-4Tj6&var=523481421659&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Had a crack at vinyl wrapping the chrome surround on the front grille. Some slight imperfections on one side, but otherwise looks good. $20 for gloss black vinyl vs. $200 to buy the black trim alone! Winning 😁

yes, my fuel economy improved after getting the stage 1 tune. it was tuned specifically to 98ron fuel, which is wat i use anyway. previously i was averaging 8.4L/100 long term. this dropped to 7.7L/100 after the tune. its gone up to 8L/100 now as i went from 235/40R19 tyres to bigger 245/40R19 tyres, i.e. increased fuel consumption. in theory - the tune took it up from 162kW / 350Nm to approx. 240kW / 510Nm. the other day i took some live data readings, using OBDeleven, of the engine torque - it recorded 505Nm!! max. engine power measured was approx. 236 kW. pretty much bang on with the claimed APR figures for a Stage 1 - so i'm pretty happy with that.

we still get the 280 flavored 4x4 here in Oz, even with the new facelifted Superb.

Here is a Passat lowered on the Eibach Pro-kit springs. The Superb uses the exact same springs. Drop is approx 20-25mm if u have DCC. It's the same springs I have.

Yes, that's my setup in the pics. My apologies, mine is actually 12mm at the front, not 15mm. I had 15mm at the rear before. Hence I now have 12/10, with 245 wide tyres. Before I had 12/15 when I had 235 tyres. U will definitely need longer bolts. They usually come supplied with longer bolts. I've got bloxsport spacers up the front and H&R spacers at the rear.

U can go up to 20mm, although I find 20 to b a bit aggressive, nice stance though. I have hub-centric spacers, front & rear. 15mm front, 10mm rear. I used to have 15mm on the rear before, but after changing my tyres from 235/40 to 245/40, the rear would rub slightly, on full compression. I've got the factory Trinity 19s, which have the same specs as the Vega 19s. Mine is lowered 25mm.

Given the way I drive, I'm very pleased with fuel economy of my 220. In ur speak, that's 35 mpg (UK). On the freeways, I avg 6.5L/100 (43.5 mpg) Best I've done is 5.5L/100 (52 mpg) I have a APR Stg 1 tune, 19s (with 245/40 tyres) and run all 4 at 38 psi. I filled up this morning - 70L of 98 RON went in. Boy did it hurt given the fuel prices now!!

The flat-bottomed steering wheel looks nice in the Superb. I retrofitted this one from a Sportline Superb, put some paddle shifter extensions, and put a Superb name plate.

i wouldn't mind looking into acoustic glass, however i have no idea of part numbers, nor if it would b ever possible for me to source it here in Oz.
