2011 - its had a new engine though (ugh) so would need to check the actual build date.

Sorry to revive this discussion. Just received a replacement filter from ECP and I remembered scrolling by this thread. See attached - black filter from ECP vs silver one currently fitted. Am I right in saying this is the incorrect one and I should exchange this for a MANN filter instead? Mine is a CBZB 1.2TSI

I’m halfway through a retro fit too (will finish that one day…). It’s a mk2 2011 - think the facelift differs slightly to the OG mk2. it took a lot of brute force. Remove the two small blanker panel bits on the wide section of lower grill first (these just pull out, left one took some oomph on mine), then stick your arm in, and feel for a plastic tab behind the fog light blanker. once you sacrifice some knuckles and a chunk of flesh from your lower arm, the blankets should release relatively easily.

Had this happen and it was the pump on its way out - changing the fluid wouldn’t hurt, also check the battery - if it’s not holding a good charge it could be a symptom, though by the sounds of it I would hazard a guess it is the pump throwing a wobbly. I was fortunate and grabbed a pump off a scrap fabia, same part number and low mileage - was about £25, £90 fitted with fluid change (this was about 5 years ago and local benevolent scrappy & mechanic)

Thanks for this - I'll post when i get chance to look at it properly. Theres an additional question - the loom from ebay only has wiring for the actual fog lamps, not the DRLs. Any recommendations for that? I know its a p21w bulb, but not sure if it'll be a bit of a DIY job?

Got there in the end - just needed some brute force!
-
Anyone any tips for removing these on a 2011? Got the small piece out from the centre of the grille but cannot for the life in me work out how to get the fog light blanks free. thanks!
-
Legend. yeah mine is registered may 2011 so should be included. thanks!

Yeah this was my thought too. The listing was specifically for the 5J so a little concerned by that. I’ve asked if they have Skoda specific instructions etc. Is there somewhere I could find the pin out of the BCM? Or could a member with factory fitted fogs share where the fog loom is connected up?

@Kobayashi isn’t that always the way 😂

Had a check over and can't see anything obvious - been working fine since. Will keep an eye!

Hi folks, I'm aware this topic has come up a few times in the past. I've trawled those topics but don't think i've seen details of any particular installations. I've got a hold of a set of fog-lights (https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/aftermarket-front-fog-lamp-475780091) and I've bought a wiring kit from fleabay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265135584029) They've sent through the attached wiring instructions but I could do with some tips from more experienced members! I assume I need to do some VCDS poking too in order to get them working - also just realised i'll need a new switch... Thanks EN Anschlussleitung Kabelsatz NSW.pdf
