Update: the issue was finally resolved when the dealer replaced the outer light unit. I was previously lead to believe this had been done, however, I discovered that they had in fact only replaced the inner light! 5 months so far with no issues.

Evening all. I have a 2019 Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI SEL. I have an intermittent LED light fault on the rear passenger side. When I bought the car, I was told that the fault had been fixed. Two days later, the warning appeared on the dash and the rear left light was out. Turned the engine off and back on again, light was working fine. The same thing happened again a few more times and Skoda replaced the light units (outer and inner) under warranty. Two months later, the intermittent fault is back. Sometimes the warning appears and the light is working fine. Sometimes just the outer light is out, sometimes both outer and inner light. Recently just one part of the outer light was left on. Sometimes you can turn the engine off and on and it will clear the fault. Other times the fault stays on but is gone later in the day. I’m not sure whether it’s just coincidental but washing the car resulted in the fault occurring and it took a few hours for the light to function again properly. It occurred again when light rain was followed by a cold frost. It was then fine for a few weeks until a heavy downpour resulted in the same fault appearing. When I think back, water/periods of wet weather has occurred the same day or the previous night approx 70% of the time. Skoda now want to book the car in for 3 days for further tests. The unit shows no sign of water ingress. The boot is always bone dry. I hope replacing the light fixes your problem but it didn’t work for me.
