  1. No, because the rear lights are a mixture of tungsten filament and LED, not halogen.
  2. What they both said; Autoglass break, Autoglass repair.
  3. You can't delete an entire thread, not even your own. BTW, blowing all three bulbs on one side of a car and none on the other is unusual. If you hadn't noticed, I'd have suggested checking the headlight earth.
  4. Quite possibly; in any event the airbag light is a latching warning, so needs a VCDS or similar to cancel it.
  5. Only if there is a separate immobiliser light on your car. Big hint; the oil pressure light comes on when the engine isn't running.
  6. Well, your video tells me that the charge light and oil pressure light are working normally. I have a suspicion that the immobiliser is stopping the car running, but need details to be certain.
  7. That's a regular issue with decals like the ones used on your car. Ref the wheel cleaner, try using that on an inconspicuous and small area of the car and not a whole panel!
  8. Some idea, based on software engineering more than car mechanics. 3429 - Actual fault not stated, due to other fault with higher priority being present. 0447 - This appears to be an overvoltage related error. Confirm this by reading the voltage across the battery terminals on the 0 to 20V scale on a multimeter. You're looking for a value in the range 12V-14.4V for correct operation. If the voltage is above this, I'd suspect an actual fault with the alternator control box. If you're unsure about this, I think an automotive elecctrician will confirm, and be able to do the replacement work required.
  9. Yes and? IME most fast fit places will do the tests for free if you buy a new battery (if required) from them.
  10. What was going though Lance Stroll's head in Q1, well other than very nearly Nicolas Latifi's Williams that is?
  11. I notice the car is a 2017. If it's on the original battery and you're getting issues with the stop/start, I'd get the battery tested properly, and suspect you need it replaced.
  12. True torque steer is an engineering/design issue, built into the cars at the prototype stage.
  13. Which will come as no surprise to people who've towed caravans.
  14. Agreed; these issues are often wires breaking inside the insulation, and you need to continuity test them to diagnose this.
  15. Apparently, Jason Plato is retiring from the BTCC at the end of the season (source Knockhill channel on YouTube, seen on other computer).
  16. Er, "Bayerische Mist Wagon" is a urine extraction; it's also German.
  17. If you're thinking in those terms, look for an unevenly worn front tyre.
  18. Try a service station, where you buy petrol.
  19. If you're actually doing this, how do you manage to be a tailgit and set the alarm off anyway?
  20. There are masses of comments to this general effect, mostly in the Octavia 3 and 4 fora.
  21. OK, I (for one) was assuming VAG wheels. These clearly aren't, so what's the manufacture and the full size specification?
  22. @Tomjones1995 Well, if it helps any, a standard VAG alloy will have the size information cast into the rim, something like "16x6.5J ET42 5x100".
  23. Well done indeed for keeping on and getting the job done.
  24. If it's as described, my biggest issue is the contact number being a mobile.
  25. As @Damian@DPM says, if you're fitting those Konis, fit them all round. Your car's suspension will be out of balance if you only fit them on one axle.
