  1. That doesn't happen with the Columbus unit in mine (MY17). RVC comes on without any delays, Bluetooth is fairly quick to connect. The menu's take a good 30 secs or so before they're available.
  2. U can't remove component protection using ObdEleven or VCDS.
  3. i've done it myself. u can read all about it here.
  4. The few times I've used it - it's been good, nice clean finish. Mine is MY17.
  5. I don't know the setup with the facelift versions, but with pre-FL, the strips only light up with the SLA type headlights. There r two types of Xenon headlights. Version A and Version B (SLA type). The strips by default don't light up with DRLs. Only with headlights on. But this can b coded so they work with DRLs and side lights, which is wat I did with mine. Also, they don't light up as bright as the DRL at full power. They have a max brightness equivalent to the dimmed DRL. With the facelift, it's got a completely different headlight setup, hence vastly different behaviour.
  6. Assuming you've got Xenon headlights -
  7. It can be retrofitted to the rear doors. I did it a while ago now.
  8. I looked everywhere - no luck finding it. So I improvised with a flexible Chrome trim/strip from AliExpress. I'm happy with it.
  9. Was 249€ when I bought one 2 yrs ago from Superskoda. About 2 months ago, they reduced it to 150€!! Would b even cheaper now with the current black Friday 20% off sale!!!
  10. +1 for @Haystack1 I did the same - paid for an hour use of eRwin and got the full vehicle specification list (which the others don't give u) and downloaded a whole heap of workshop manuals for use when needed.
  11. I got (from AliExpress too) the Skoda logo version for mine.....
  12. Yes, it needs to b "coded in" too. Can b done with vcds or obdeleven.
  13. The side lower grille ones r easy to do as they can b easily pulled off the bumper and the chrome bit unclipped from behind. The centre lower grille is unfortunately a bumper off job as the only way to access the clips holding the chrome is from the inside. Which is wat I did. Likewise with the top centre grille - bumper off job, however some have said it's "possible" to remove the grille without removing the bumper. If I were to do it - I'd much rather remove the bumper entirely.
  14. if ur referring to the chrome bit next to the foglights - yes its very easy to remove and clip back in. u simply pull off the side grille cover, then u can unclip or clip the chrome bit out/in. i separated the chrome bit so i could plasti-dip it black.
  15. I don't think it's the same spot - urs (mk3) is located on the boot side wall, between the wheel well and the boot opening. The mk3.5, which @Richmixhas, says it's between the seat and the battery. Quite a few things have changed under the skin between the mk3 and mk3.5 Superb.
  16. Some markets have the option to get a larger capacity fuel tank. PR code is 1Z2. OM4 = Fuel tank (66 L) 1Z2 = Increase in initial standard fuel filling Here in Oz, the additional 1Z2 is included as standard on the Superb. Total capacity increases by 10-15L. Haven't been able to confirm the exact increase. The most I've put in is 78L.
  17. Shocking eh!!! How did that pass quality check, or user acceptance testing?!?!? Sheesh
  18. by the looks of that, there is plenty of room in and around that plastic flappy bit above the ACC radar ur right, they went overboard with the clips and screws to secure the grille!!!
  19. with the iV models - is the Canton DSP amp still under the front seat?
  20. They say Smoking is addictive. Guilty. After smoking the fogs, I did the tail lights too. Bl00dy 'ell it was difficult to vinyl tint. I'm not happy with it, from up close the imperfections can b seen. But stand back and it looks good It's "lightly smoked", so the lights r no where near compromised at all!!
  21. @TheBinarySheep- here is pic of behind the grille. Not an easy task. U can see all its mounting points. Circle = screw Dash = clip
  22. yes, DO NOT move/disturb the ACC radar sensor as that will require an expensive re-calibration exercise at the dealers!!!! with regards to doing it without removing the front bumper - yes, it can be done @TheBinarySheep , but as i mentioned before it will b very fiddly, and very little room to work with. the grille is held in place with not only screws, but its clipped in all around the edges. plus when u drill the plastic, there is going to be lots of plastic shavings that will fall everywhere. With the bumper off, I was able to comfortably put a sheet cloth covering the air intake, and covering the top of the radiator and inter-cooler. so all the plastic shaving would fall on the cloth sheet, allowing me to easily remove and clean up. u could use a hot knife to cut out the plastic in a rectangular shape, and thus minimise the plastic shavings, but u need to watch out for the radiator directly behind it.
  23. you can find the coding steps in the link below. as @BOD20said - make sure u have the windscreen camera as per the second pic (big triangle looking shape).
