  1. 3VD.....strange part number!! either way, as @ApertureS said, u need version B headlights, i.e. part number end in "B". also, u have the incorrect AFS slave modules. u need the version beginning with 4H0. VCDS is not the only thing, u also need to load the parameter file, using ODIS or VCP, to the 4B-multifunction module. however given urs is MY16, it might be the 55-headlight module.
  2. that's the disadvantage of the Eibachs - they don't sell the front & rear bars individually, only as a set. i ended up getting a Hardrace Suspension 25.4mm rear sway bar for my 220.
  3. indeed - they r both pretty much identical, with the 18" being 10 mm taller (sidewall) by me switching from 235/40/19 to 245/40/19 - i gained 5mm in sidewall height, resulting in better ride comfort the speedometer reading is also closer to the true GPS speed now.
  4. I too struggled to refit the A-pillar trim back in place, especially the bottom area where the dash meets the windscreen and A-pillar.
  5. The footwell lights r on all the time, albeit dimmed while driving, unless u turned them off in the menu. They can also b dimmed or brighten for while driving. Go to "Car" menu. Select Settings, scroll down to "Background Lighting" U'll c ur options there.
  6. I disagree. It's simple - the fuel card states the minimum load index required, for each of the approved tyre sizes. It's not about, nor states, the tyre being standard or XL. That's the owners choice. If u have 235/40/19 tyres, the minimum load rating required is 96. Simple. I can b stupid n get a dirt cheap 235/40/19 tyre with a load index rating of 92, which fails to meet the minimum requirements, hence a defect, and making insurance void. Or I can buy same sized tyre, with the correct load rating of 96, for double the price (almost). I also don't understand why u keep referring to the Superb being fitted with the 245/45/18 tyres - it's not. Standard is 235/45/18, as shown in the fuel card too. Yes u can fit 245/45/18s, but it's not the standard, nor common. I've increased the tyre profile on mine by fitting 245/40/19 (96 XL) instead of the standard 235/40/19.
  7. That load index for the 19" is incorrect - the minimum required load index is 96, as indicated on the fuel flap....
  8. Only MIB3 units will allow for USB-C ports. The MIB2 and MIB2.5 units do not have the additional wiring required to support them, hence won't work. Part number is 3G5035726B, for the USB-C version.
  9. Go to the Tyre Pressure screen, under Vehicle Status and reset it there by hitting "SET".
  10. No. Springs, swaybar, tune, dogbone. Doesn't matter wat order. My initial focus was handling (suspension), cause I was happy with the factory horsepower. However, with ECU Tune, it gives me the ability to have crazy power at any speed, like overtaking. I had a DSG tune on my previous MK2 Octavia RS - made the driving experience fun, hence it's definitely going to happen with my Superb too.
  11. The following have transformed my 220 - so much more fun, yet still so so cruisy n comfortable. - APR Stage 1 ECU tune (up to 316 hp now) - Eibach Prokit lowering springs. More responsive suspension feel, less swaying. Including a DCC recalibration to match. - Hardrace rear swaybar. Car stays flat while cornering. - 034 motorsport dogbone lower insert. No more wheel hoping, and DSG shifts r more crisper n faster. Next up is a DSG tune to round things up.
  12. replacing wipers on a 2020 Superb already?!?!!! phwoahhh!! were they defective to have worn out so quickly?
  13. I made a comparison video when I changed mine a few years ago. I have the same Auxito bulb. LED bulb in the left side of video. Factory halogen on the right.
  14. @plutus- not significant difference, but the wagon is actually shorter, sitting at 4856mm. The sedan is 4861mm. Tis only a 5mm difference.
  15. With the AAWireless, u get exactly the same experience as u do get with ur phone cabled to the USB port. As for Spotify, play via Bluetooth to ur car's infotainment. U get much control than using AUX. With Bluetooth, u can skip tracks using the infotainment and/or steering wheel controls. Likewise, u can see the song being played on Spotify.
  16. the Superb shares many of its suspension components with the mk7 Golf, and Passat B8. if u have a 206 - get parts that suit a mk7 Golf R. if u have a 162 - get parts that suit a mk7 Golf GTi. highly recommended suspension (handling) mods:- - thicker rear swaybar - lower springs. Eibach and H&R seem to b the popular choice. if ur lowering, i recommend getting adjustable front & rear end-links, so the swaybars aren't pre-loaded. - bilstein shocks n springs, if u've got the $$$$. i was initially planning to get a set of bilstein shocks myself, but instead i re-calibrated my DCC shocks after getting Eibach springs installed. car doesn't wallow/bounce. comfort levels r great, it handles well n stays composed. super happy.
  17. Prior to My19 Correct Prior to MY19 (i think), u could get reverse camera without a washer, on a liftback/hatch. that's because u could have a hatch with no rear wiper. no rear wiper = no washer for camera. if specc'ed with rear wiper, n highline, then u got camera washer. mine is MY17, and i have the highline camera with no washer. i don't have a rear wiper. wagons on the other-hand cannot b had without a rear wiper, hence if highline, then u get camera washer too.
  18. Not the case actually. Yes there r two versions of TPMS, but both should tell u which particular tyre is the culprit. Prior to retrofitting direct TPMS on mine, the indirect TPMS (using ABS wheel sensors) would still alert me to the specific tyre that has a tyre pressure loss. Front-left tyre highlighted in amber in the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator screen. With the direct TPMS (using internal tyre pressure sensors) now, in addition to alerting me to the specific tyre, it will also display the actual tyre pressures, so I can see "how bad" it is.
  19. i'm not 100% sure how to tell the difference, but from what i've read before:- - if MIB3, the glovebox unit has no CD/DVD slot, nor does it have SD-Card slots. MIB2/MIB2.5 units have these. - MIB3 units support USB-C ports. MIB2/MIB2.5 units only support USB-A ports - MIB3 units support wireless CarPlay/AndroidAuto. MIB2/2.5 units do not support this natively. i don't know the part number differences.
  20. Columbus comes in 3 flavours:- - MIB2 = 8" screen, with buttons - MIB2.5 = 9.2" screen, with no buttons - MIB3 = 9.2" screen, with no buttons
  21. i've got an AAWireless device, that's connected to my USB port. my phone wirelessly connects to it, allowing wireless Android Auto! its brilliant. i can keep my phone in the wireless charging pad in the phonebox, if needed
  22. @Morgan78 - that's a Columbus (MIB2) unit. L&K models r usually fitted with Columbus. I have the same.
  23. I don't have any close ups, but there is bunch of brackets n clips for the piping required for the headlight washers, not to mention the bracket for the washer itself. Maybe u can remove them from ur existing bumper and transfer them to the new one, so all u need to do is make the cutout for the washer.
  24. The Canton amplifier is under the passenger seat.
