2006 Octavia Estate Tail lights dim

Old topic but I have a similar issue. I have correct bulbs 21/4w but I don’t have a cable in the harness jack for the tail lights. Is this normal? Basically, now I have set my brake and fog bulbs to 12% brightness to create a “C” shape. Any ideas? It’s a pfl hatchback -
So today I was changing oil and filter and decided to try to clean turbo. Not that it needed cleaning, although it whistles a bit so I thought maybe it will help. Btw the engine is BKD. So I took out air box and pipe that continues after MAF sensor, and had to take out the battery with casing as well. As didn't know what to look for or what to unscrew I put my phone behind the engine, just above the catalytic converter, aiming the camera below the EGR cooler (I think) and made a few pics to try and figure out how to get into the turbo. Basically, I made a picture in my head and unscrew the bolts on small pipe that goes from cooler to manifold, all by touching as couldn’t see anything. It’s very tight over there and you will have to work out where to put the socket wrench. Once you figure out how things are positioned it’s pretty easy to do it. The bottom nuts, on manifold are 12mm socket and the top ones, on cooler are bolts triple square spline bit size 8 i think. I then put a tube in the manifold and pushed it all the way to the turbo and started spraying. I had 6mm tube and it was too big so I would advise you to get smaller diameter, maybe 4mm. Someone mentioned a flexible tube from WD40 spray, that would be ideal I think. I couldn’t not spray in enough due to tube being too wide and the cleaner was leaking everywhere on side so this operation was not quite successful.

Hi all, my name is Dejan, originally from Serbia, living in UK for 5 years. We just bought an Octavia 2.0 tdi dsg from 2007 as it has bigger boot than previous Golf and we need extra space with a baby 👶. It’s actually our second Octavia, first was 1.9 tdi and it was great, sold it due to high mileage, had a bmw(what a mistake) and a golf after it. This one is in “beige” In and out 😂 It’s stock Elegance but I plan to put some nice wheels, head unit, and do some similar small tweaks so gonna be looking for ideas on forum. See you around 😃
