The Superb III Picture thread
Thanks Mine has DCC suspension. DCC is already 10mm lower than standard suspension - hence the drop is only 20mm. The drop is 30-35mm if u have standard suspension. I don't know how much it would drop for a Sportline with DCC, or a Sportline without DCC. Yes, those r the factory 19" Trinity/Phoenix rims, wearing 245/40R19 tyres. I have 15mm hubcentric spacers at the front and 10mm at the rear.

The Superb III Picture thread
I didn't recalibrate after getting mine lowered 20mm with the Eibach ProKit. The A5 Camera is still good. The ACC radar is good. The BSM radars r good. The PDC sensors r slightly more trigger happy now with high/tall kerbs. Headlight aim had to b raised a smidge. If the drop was 35mm or more - then doing the expensive ADAS calibration would b highly recommended.

Need a rear light Unit following breakage
Yes, that is correct for a Hatch/Sedan/Liftback.

Retrofit ACC
Predictive ACC (pACC) requires a specific radar plus A5 to work. It relies on the A5 camera to read the speed limit road sign, and then adjusts the car's speed accordingly.

Does Firmware update provide additional features?
No, a firmware update for the Columbus will not enable functions like TSR or High Beam Assist. U need to enable that via OBDEleven or VCDS tools. Do a search - plenty of posts with instructions/steps.

Superb 2017 Combi, tailgate brake light stopped working
R u referring to the inner triangle light cluster on the boot lid? If so, these r the part numbers, depending on the outer version (LED High or LED Basic) u have:- - 3V5 945 307 A/B/C/D (Sedan Tail light Left Inner) - 3V5 945 308 A/B/C/D (Sedan Tail light Right Inner) - 3V9 945 307 A/B/C/D (Estate Tail light Left Inner) - 3V9 945 308 A/B/C/D (Estate Tail light Right Inner) I've never replaced or removed these inner light clusters, so I'm not sure wat is involved. I've removed the outer taillights plenty of times, and they're easy to do.

Need a rear light Unit following breakage
It's misleading, yes, but the part number (3V5 945 207) is correct for a pre-facelift, and have a look at the "Suitable Cars" list. The seller has incorrectly assumed the indicator and reverse lights r LED. Do a Google search on that part number.....
-

That link is not a facelift taillight - it's the pre-facelift taillight found from MY15 to MY19. It's the correct taillight for @pentaxian. The LED refers to the light strip that goes around the outer edge - see pic below. The reverse and indicator globes r normal halogen bulbs.

Eibach or H&R Lowering Springs 2.0D 190bhp Hatch
Eibach ProKits on my 220, with factory DCC. Ride height is perfect - 20mm drop. Springs r matched perfectly to the factory DCC shocks. Ride is way way way better now.

Activating Lane Assist using OBDeleven
U need to have the Lane Assist radars installed, which I don't see in the scan above. The OP's scan shows 3C as empty. Mine looks like this:- ---------------------------------------------- 3C Lane Change Assistant Right System description: HRE_Master Software number: 5Q0907686B Software version: 0071 Hardware number: 5Q0907686B Hardware version: H12 Serial number: 0433918774 ODX name: EV_HREntryHella ODX version: 001028 Long coding: 02011203 Trouble codes: No trouble codes found ----------------------------------------------

Bilstein B6
Mine has "1JP = Rear shock absorption" ....and "G04 = Shock absorption in front" It has factory DCC, non Sportline.

DIY wireless charging and wireless CarPlay project
Looks brilliant and nicely done. No one would think anything different.

Adaptive cruise control accident
ACC (front radar) and Lane Assist (rear radars) r linked. Switching the ACC to fully off on the cruise control stalk will give u a message saying that Lane Assist is also turned off. But it's not an error or warning. The message will flash in MFD for 2 secs or so, n then disappear. It becomes available again when u pull the cruise control stalk forward. The road signs in restricted mode message is normal for those that activated TSR in a region which doesn't have the correct map data. It's a warning, but it continues to work for the most part. Light Assist is not related to any of the above.

Bilstein B6
ah, that's good. i didn't realise they had damptronic versions of the B4. i'll just go sit in the corner now. fingers crossed ur shocks get sorted.
-
Bilstein B6
i just had a closer look on the Bilstein B4 - these r NOT damptronic shocks, hence why ur feeling no difference when u switch modes!! the B4 r standard OEM replacement shocks. "Bilstein B4 - These are classed as a replacement damper. A few B4 variations exist depending on the vehicle application but these are all intended to replace the standard shocks fitted when the car was new." u can read about the different types here. if u had DCC shocks, then u should've got the B16 DampTronic version. if u had standard shocks, then the B4 is the right replacement.

Bilstein B6
Bugger, sorry to hear that. That pretty **** poor for them to say that the only way to b sure is to remove the shocks and send it to them to test!! Either the Bilstein's valve electrics r not understanding the car's DCC signals.... Or ......the Bilstein's valve electrics r just a gimmick. There is a massive effect (not placebo) between Comfort and Sport modes with the DCC shocks, even with lowered springs. I'd expect the same with the Bilstein Damptronics - it's the whole reason why u buy the more expensive Damptronics version so u can still retain that comfort control.

Superb MK3 Headlight Distance
That is very strange @cardo. Wat is the part number on ur headlights? Does ur car have factory Bi-xenons? I believe cars without Bi-xenons only have the rear sensor.

What are those error indicating?
Click on that orange triangle with the exclamation mark - it will tell u exactly wat is wrong.
-
Bilstein B6
It's totally fair. The comparison is between factory DCC vs Bilstein Damptronics. The Golf R uses the same DCC shocks as the Superb, if fitted. The mapping (parameters) will vary on the Golf R to b more performance orientated, compared to the Superb, but it's essentially the same. The springs paired to the DCC shocks on a Golf will also b more performance orientated compared to the springs paired to the DCC shocks on the Superb - but this test does not include the springs. It's purely on the shocks.

2017 model year 2.0 TSi 220. Timing belt or chain?
My previous MY11 mk2 Octavia RS 147TSi also had a timing chain. It had an EA888 Gen2. They've using chains for ages now!

Wheel spacer opinions?
I've got Bloxsport at the front, and H&R Trak+ DR series at the rear. Fronts with 15mm.... Rears with 10mm....

VCDS options on Superb III
Strange....because the coding I have is the same as @Gizmo. In fact, i got the code from the Tried & Tested page that Gizmo created. Not sure why u can't see the same channels.
-
Bilstein B6
Fair enough, but earlier u asked for springs "that go down 1.5-2 CMS"..... The Eibach Prokit drops the car 2cms. Also, my car as Rieger side skirts and front splitter, making it look even more lower.
