JR RS

Any rear swaybar for the mk7 Golf R will fit ur 206/280 Superb. Quite a few have installed this.

Actually there is more to it with version B. Version A has AFS (adaptive lighting), so it does up down left right check. Version B does the similar, but in addition it also does a beam flattening and then a high U-shaped beam. https://youtu.be/cqCnOi2dDnc

U need to make sure u have version B xenon headlights, otherwise the coding won't have any effect. Only version B headlights have the hardware to light up the eyelashes, or as I call them - whiskers. Image below is wat I did to enable mine. No, the coding will definitely not work with a facelift Superb.

On long trips (2 hrs +), my Google Pixel 5 gets too hot in the Superb's built-in wireless charger, if using wireless Android Auto. So for long trips I now connect the phone via the cable.

Depending on the market, Skoda offers (well they used to back in 2017.....) up to 3 suspension grades:- 1. Standard suspension (std shocks, std springs) 2. Sports suspension (std shocks, 10mm lower springs) 3. Adaptive suspension (DCC shocks, 10mm lower springs) With Sportline models (if equipped with DCC), we've been able to confirm that it's the same DCC shocks, based on part numbers. Not sure if the DCC software parameters differs for Sportline variants. Haven't been able to confirm if springs physically differ.

interesting. so why does Skoda put an 18" skinny spare for the 280/Scout AWD models?

if u have AWD, i.e. 340mm disc brakes, then the minimum rim size required is 18". non-AWD Superb has 312mm disc brakes, hence they can getaway with 16" rims.

Do u have a link to the RPM one? And do u know if it is compatible with the 220 (aka GTi engine)? I know about the BCS Powervalve one, but it seems to b specific for the 280 (aka R engine).

I simply put a layer of Car Builder's Stage 2 Acoustic layer on the boot floor - added about 12 mm thickness, and added bonus of noise dampening. I hardly notice that slight bend in the boot liner.

Putting the full size spare wheel in, the rim face will NOT touch the boot floor. ....and yes, u need to secure it with a screw. There is a thread already about this, where we've discussed at length the bits n pieces required. The search function is ur friend. I've had 3 punctures in the space of 1 yr - and each time the spare goes on the rear, the assist systems and ACC get disabled. Annoyed the crap out of me - hence I had to get myself a full sized spare.

No, not original Skoda ones, but AliExpress ones. I had to cut/mould it to fit around the Rieger side skirt, otherwise there is no way it would fit.

I've got the start-stop module fitted in mine - it's great. No issues whatsoever. Best part is that I can activate the start-stop feature at the touch of the button, as I've not disabled it. Handy given the current price of fuel, even if it's only a little amount of fuel saved.

The 220 only came with the DSG-6 (DQ250), with the pre-facelift at least. The 272 comes with DSG-7 (DQ381). I'm not sure if the facelift version now comes with the DSG-7 (DQ380) for FWD models.

If u have the VIN number, then u can jump on Erwin (Skoda) online to see ur car's build details, including exactly wat DSG box u have.

No point trying to convince the numerous PS4 fanboys. 😂 The P7 on mine has done its job, for me - that is to last a while, instead of 2 yrs or so. They weren't too noisy given they r 19s, and grip levels were good in both wet & dry conditions. They lasted me 52,000 kms (4 yrs), with another 3-4mm thread left. Only reason I changed was because I wanted the wider 245 tyres, and there was an EOFY sale. Grip was not the best, especially for traffic light launches, but for 95% of the driving time - it did its job. 🙂

I quite like the spaced lettering, so I did "my version" with my pre-facelift. If I had a Sportline, it would've been in Black lettering.

Oh wow....I didn't realise that. Skoda is being generous!!

Yes, that one doesn't make sense indeed. I haven't tried it, but I assume that would also stop the SLA from doing it's thing with the headlights too. I know the Air-conditioning "power" is also reduced in Eco-mode, i.e. it takes longer to reach the desired temp. Makes sense as this uses up fuel.

Well, ur a lucky guy then. My 220 stops coasting and engages the transmission if I use the brakes, or accelerate. Doesn't matter flat, uphill or downhill. Eco-mode also means no engine braking. ACC uses engine braking to maintain speed. If Eco-mode is active, it can't do that. Hence ACC is disabled in Eco-mode. Makes sense. Maybe the 280 is special......

Eco-mode is annoying in terms of its working conditions required - can't have cruise control active, and u can't use the brakes!

DCC won't b standard. If u have it, it will show a DCC Driving modes like this. In Individual mode, u can choose different DCC modes.

U can make minor tweaks/adjustments of the vertical throw of ur low beams, using the adjuster shown in the pic. Park ur car approx. 7m away from a wall, on level ground. Using an allen key, make very small turns of the screw - u'll c the beam either lift or drop. Repeat the same with the other headlight. This is how mine looks. https://youtu.be/fkRcEJIVlJU

+1 I removed the grille frame surround the other day and there is no way I could've done it with the bumper still on!! The screws at the bottom and the one above the ACC radar r next to impossible to reach if bumper hasn't been removed - for me at least. The million clips holding the frame r a pain to separate too!! @boydeee is a magician!!

Yup. I learnt about the tilt (anti-towing) alarm when I tried to remove the front splitter by jacking the car, up while it was locked.

@Colin170CR- nice work with removing the rear boot camera. Just a note though - if u have curtain airbags, then u shouldn't b tucking any cables under the headliner as that will hinder the airbag deployment!! I know u said the cable is not long enough, but the curtain airbags r now compromised.
