Hi, Update. The problem is back again and I am near to tearing my hair out now, having paid the Auto Electrical place and believed it was sorted, but it is not !! -

Hi, Just to say I had the same problem with my octavia ambient , it was driving me nuts . Finally took it to an Auto Electrical place and they found that the previous owner had a black box fitted, and it had been fitted wrong. Needless to say they removed the box and I have had no problem since . -

Hi, I have been suffering from the same problem, since buying my used Octavia 1.6 FSI. Finally took it to an Auto Electrical outfit this week and they discovered that in the past a black box had been fitted and this turned out to be the culprit that was draining my battery, even though it was no longer supposed to be active. Having now checked online it seems that a lot of people have had problems with battery discharge after having black boxes fitted. The company removed the black box and now have reported that the battery is discharging at a much lower acceptable rate. Just thought I would share this as I was taken by surprise with the result. -
This is really lame but the front side lights won't work the back lights are fine. the bulbs are all good so whats the problem ? Its an Octavia Ambient 1.6 fsi. 2006, The instructions in the manual don't make a lot of sense Have just bought the car and find the lights a bit weird .
