Maxidot Convenience Rain Windows Setting
paulolourenco76 replied to jimbeech's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
you need to leave the wiper stalk in the Auto position, ie, the first position. This activates the rain sensor. Then, switch off the car, then try the cup of water over the rain sensor -

Fabia vrs led front fog into Octy vrs
paulolourenco76 replied to sherlocks VRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
thanks Silver, but I've already got them installed... did that a while back and bought the parts from skodaparts.com. Very reliable and even cheaper than ebay. It also tell you the part numbers for the plug and cables. The magical bit of info is the electronic trickery which I am no wizard in Sherlock's comment above was "a couple of wirring looms with bulb warning cancellors fitted and then fitting the led fogs"... I was looking for this in a dummies guide... buy parts x and do steps a, b, c -

Hi Sherlock, did you get a chance to do the dummies guide for this? :think: I would really like to get it finished but wouldn't know the parts to use. -

I've done this to mine a while back but also have the bulb warning on. Anyone near Edinburgh willing to help me find a coding solution for this? Will post some pics tomorrow. -

paulolourenco76 replied to DaveDon's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)

Check this out. https://www.dectane....-v--passat.html Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) going abroad for the next month, but will order a pair as soon as I am back. My Led conversion is now almost complete Paulo -
Should I Tint my Windows?
paulolourenco76 replied to Dedders's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
Go for it. They look great on my estate, and kids in the back never complain about the sun. I actually chose not to order it with the factory tints, and as soon as the car arrived in the dealers, I sent over my pal who does the tints. Some pics for you. -
touchee! thanks to you both. Paulo
