Did my interim 6-monthly service for Gandalf today. But this time round I bought this gadget which made filling the engine with new oil so much easier and far more precise (measurement). It holds up to 1.5L Highly recommend it for those who perform their own oil changes. Link to the product here.

Lol, that would indeed b next level cleaning!! Objective was to rotate the tyres, front to rear, rear to front. So while I was at, it was a good chance to give the inside of the rims a good scrub n a clean.

That time of the year for me to do the Interim 6-month service. Oil change and tyre clean (inside) & rotation 🙂

Charger - yes. Data - no. The MIB2 unit in ur car is not able to talk with USB-C ports.

Yup, I have that cable running into the inside of the armrest storage. I can then put my phone on charge for those long trips. My Superb didn't have the additional USB port inside the armrest storage - so this was my workaround. The 90-deg cable allows me to keep that rear compartment storage closed. The front USB port is occupied by my AAWireless device, which allows me to use Android Auto wirelessly.

@26DIPP - I replaced the rear 12v power socket with a 12v USB Quick Charge socket. The front 12v socket will b similar. Link to the 12v USB socket I bought. Link to the 90-deg USB cable.

Ur NOT reading his or my posts properly at all !!!

Some pics (not my car) below of the cable pass through. Shows u how it looks like, from both sides. Good luck with the install. Thanks. Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to u too. Inside... Engine bay side....

It's a known issue with the AWD Superb, unfortunately. Due to the AWD drive line through the tunnel, the tank is "split" on either side. Sometimes the fuel doesn't get balanced or transferred between the two, causing fuel to prematurely run out, despite hundreds of KMs Range left. I don't know wat the fix is, sorry. FWD Superb don't have this issue.

Before & After I caught up with a fellow forum member today - seeing his car (MY18) took me back to 8 yrs ago when I picked up Gandalf (MY17). Original factory look. Both 162TSi Business Grey Lift back with Tech & Comfort packs.

Both high beam and low beam will swivel with AFS, regardless of foglights being on/off. In ECO driver profile mode, AFS (adaptive lighting) is disabled.

The speaker wire on the sub (in the boot) is very weak/fragile and is known to break. Likely urs has a broken wire too and needs to b resoldered.

Only the facelift Superb uses that triangular lighting bit. Pre-facelift uses the foglights for low speed Cornering Light function.

All mk3 Superb Bi-Xenon headlights have AFS 2, which swivels the low beam left/right during cornering. It also changes the length & width of the beam depending on the driving environment (urban, highway, rain etc. etc.) In addition, if enabled, the foglights also have Cornering Light function, which lights up the ground directly in front of the car, during low cornering speeds. With the built-in sunshades (blinds), it depends on the market and options. Mine has the rear window shades, but not the rear hatch shade.

U need to use a wireless dongle like AAWireless or Ottocast. Provided ur headunit can do wired Android Auto and CarPlay.

Mine came with LED interior lights everywhere except for glovebox and boot lights.

Yup, Superskoda changed their name to Kopacek a number of years ago now. Have a look at my Build Thread for some ideas. I too have a Business Grey Liftback/hatch. This how Gandalf looks like now.

@Sane420 - with the BCM pin, I ended up buying the B-Connector which came with the pins. This way there was no trial n error. Wasn't expensive. AliExpress link. With regards to the power, yeah, the BCM wire source is sufficient to power the DRL strip. Ground was taken from an existing ground point near the BCM modules. If u want to power something bigger, like driving lights, u should use the 14-pin piggyback headlight connector and do it that way. With the connectors in the bumper, these r the connectors I used. AliExpress link. With the wiring from the BCM modules to the engine bay - that was a pain to do!! Essentially there is a rubber conduit behind the glovebox (RHD cars) that comes out on the engine firewall, behind the battery, right at the back. Battery needs to come out to reach back there. U'll also need a coat metal hanger that u can straighten up to poke the wire through the conduit. I'll c if I can find the pics for it.

Ah yes, my bad. Typo

Tow eye that came with my 2017 Superb....

I have Heko wind deflectors in mine, almost 8 yrs now. They're slim and sit inside the window channel, hence no ugly sticking on the door frame! They're also easy to remove if needed.

No, both r pre-facelift headlights. Facelift has very different part numbers. I don't know wat the specific differences r between those pairs, but I would only pair 15 & 16 together, similar with 17 & 18 together only. I wouldn't mix 15 with 17 for example, or 16 with 18.

with regards to connectors i used, i'll get that for u soon, but essentially i got them from AliExpress. with regards to the BCM pins, have a read here - its a discussion i started in another forum that goes through in great detail about the process i went through to determine the right BCM pin to use. in my case, i ended up using LB39 on the B-Connector. speaking of BCM - there r differences between MY16 and MY17 control modules!! MY15 and MY16 had the "early" setup. Skoda changed it from MY17, until MY20, when it changed again when the mk3 facelift Superb was released. for example, MY15 & MY16 has module 55-headlights for headlights & DRL stuff. MY17 onwards, this was moved to module 4C-multifunction module. no more module 55. BCM versions i believe r also different. as a result, there will b difference in coding (OBDEleven or VCDS). u can definitely use the 14-pin piggy-back plug that comes with the DRL light bar if u don't want to use the DRL dimming function. by default, the DRL light bar's 14-pin plug is wired to trigger (turn on) when the low beams r turned on, i.e. Pin No. 6. if u want, u can change it to Pin No. 10 or 12 so it triggers when the headlight DRL's r on. difference here is that it won't dim when the headlight DRLs dim. they'll just remain at full power. good luck with the install 👍

So no need for a winding tool to push the rear callipers back? Simply push by hand?

On my Superb (MY17) there r noticeable differences between each of the driving profiles. Suspension, throttle and steering all behave differently in each mode. The infotainment screen will normally show on the top corner the driving profile mode ur in. If u can't see it feel the difference, something not right with urs.
