Octavia VRS 1.8T Jetex exhaust tailpipe hanging too low?
mluton replied to KWhite95's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
If it raises it but not enough, get a couple of metal cable ties round the chassis mount and round the rubber mount. to raise it a bit more. My piper hung low. -
I always us 10/40

Welcome, same as mine, nice and red.

Yep, I have had this on and off since having my motor. Ussually resolves it self. I can hear clicking from the centre console alot of the time. You can reset the flap via vagcom.

5 Days without a flicker now.

Yesterday I removed the headlight retapped all the wiring and put and old xenon bulb in and I have had 2 days of faultless xenons. Bugga, paid £140 for the headlight of eBay arriving tomorrow. Well at least I will have spare ballast. Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk

Running out of things to change!

Does the fuse box on top of the battery show signs of melting ? Furthest left is the earth I believe, Which caused me Issues. -
Flickering yesterday and again today, Grrrrrr. Got a new battery to fit also as this can effect the lights in small cases so worth a stab. Ballast swap time the weekend if a new battery doesn't help.

Good idea I'll try that. Yes they are oxidised. Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk

So the saga continued on getting my one xenon working again. Thought I'd try something I read and change the fuses from 15amp to 20amp and hey presto it works again. Unsure if this is a good move but with the dark nights I need my headlights working. Will update of anything changes. Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk

Weird, I have had 2 days of no flickering, then today flickering. So I might tackle the earths again or even attempt re-crimping the terminals.
-
I also noticed my level sensor has snapped in wheel arch, but I don't think this would stop the lamp from working / flicker ????
-
I cleaned all my earth's today and no improvement. Think I might try a pair of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380651833584?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Not got to the bottom of it, I need a bit of free time to take a look, Hopefully this upcomming weekend. Mine was like a strobe light today, worst its ever been. :(

New Osram bulbs are 6 months old, previous ones were factory fit, 11 years old. Cheers for the info, Will check earths if I can find them, might buy a used headlight unit, but they are like rocking horse poo..........

Morning All, About 6 months ago my drivers side Xenon went orange so I replace both Xenon's. Most of the time the Xenon's are fine, but occasionally the drivers side will flicker or flicker then go off. I can turn off the lights off and back on again and all is well. Which part do I need to replace, Is it the Ballast ?
