in the boot , in the spare wheel well, and in the inside flap of the service book there is a sticker with a big long list of 3 character option codes fitted in your car.

If you run the codes through this decoder :

VW Group Option Codes Decoder

you can find out what they are

its rather an odd collection of items and is by no mean and exhasutive list of all the items fitted on the car. I did it for my audi and my skoda and whilst the list is not wrong it is not complete ? no mention of the sports steering wheel and flappy paddles for example but I can tell you I have a "plane rear cargo area" (3GD) in my superb :eek: does that mean I can fit a jumbo jet in the boot ??? LOL

I have always looked out for the codes 1BA and 1BE when buying audis as that tell me if it has std or sports suspension.

interstingly my superb is cited as having "without drawers under front seat" (QN0). I have the sound system so looks like its supposed to come without the drawers after all !!

my favourite ones have to be "no special purpose vehicle, standard equipement" and "covers for alloy wheels" (centre caps i presume) and "suspension range 03 installation control only, no requirment forecast" ?? WTF ??

also odd that i have "navigation system with colour screen" and "radio/navigation system" . Arent these the same thing ?

oh well - too much time on my hands i guess !!

Especially if you might not be keeping it much longer

well - we shall see !

i was just looking to see if there was anything that might help me - dont know what i thought I might find ?

interestingly no mention of rear side airbags ? i asked for them and i have the little label on the side of the rear seat that says "airbag" so odd that its not on the options list !

I used it for my Superb II 2.0 170 bhp and obtained a report of all codes and details, this consisted of 7 A4 sheets. Spelling of some items is a little off due to translation.

A small fee is made but I had my report in a few minutes and transaction was safe.
