Daytime running light warning/failure , vRS
Gadget_Dave replied to fewie's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
i'Ve now given up on progressing this through Skoda with the warranty and bought a NEW UNUSED control module off eBay at a great price of £54.00. I'm going to attempt to fit this myself once it arrives does anybody have any useful tips as a way to proceed? I presume its a bumper off job and headlight unit out to fit the new module? On a different point I've now got a start/stop fault showing. This started off being intermittent but has now become permanent issue and error. My car is still under the warranty I bought from Bristol Street Motors, would this be covered or is it a case of fobbing me off until the warranty expires?

Hi, I’ve had it confirmed that it is the controller and not the headlight, however, apparently the Vertu Motor Assured extended warranty doesn’t cover this. As an added complication in my case my near side front was damaged in a car park by a 4x4 ranger. I claimed on the insurance (no fault on my part) and had the work carried out at a main VW dealership. The DRL stopped working shortly after this work was completed. On further investigation by same dealer they confirmed the headlight and DRL strip were changed under the insurance work but the control unit wasn’t. Apparently not compatible but this doesn’t make sense to me!!! Anyhow they are trying to open the claim to replace the controller under the warranty for the insurance work. I’ll keep posting the progress as this takes its time through the process. 🤔🤞 -

I'm having the same issue with my approved used 64 VRS estate on the nearside DRL now not working after a few days of intermittent use. I booked into my Skoda dealer where I purchased the car from and paid for a Skoda extended warranty, who have looked at it and said the module and headlight cluster need replacing at a cost (mega bucks I assume)? They also picked up the warranty issue with Skoda head office they have now told me its not covered under warranty but they may be able to help out as a gesture of goodwill !!! not sure what this means but obviously want some moola from me...Im not happy at all.... I had a DRL donut LED replaced free of charge on my approved used BMW a few years ago they had no quibble with replacing it....funny how major dealers resolve these issues... what stance do I now take regarding getting this fixed as it looks odd with only one light running... I will deactivate DRL in the meantime but obviously long term would like this resolved by Skoda.. -

1. What you need Navigation SD card from the ŠKODA Original Accessories for updating the navigation maps. For other updates, ordinary SD card is just fine, SDHC card is recommended (Class 10). A computer with a compression program that supports .zip. Downloaded data may take more than 4 GB. Make sure that you have enough space on the hard disk of your computer. 2. Downloading new data: Due to downloading large amounts of data and depending on the speed of your Internet connection can the whole downloading process take some time (even 8 hours or more). For the operating system Windows you will be provided with a download manager that will guide you through the whole process of downloading and unpacking the data. All downloaded files are in ZIP format. 3. Import of the data into the infotainment system: Import of the data into the infotainment system: Insert the card into the SD slot of one of your infotainment system. Updated navigation data is retrieved directly from the navigation SD card. 4. Import of radio station logos: Import of radio station logos: Insert supported medium (SD, USB.) into the slot of your infotainment system. Press "Radio"> "Settings"> "Station logos" and select requested station. If the station already has the logo assigned, you have to remove it. Select the medium with logo images and select desired logo. Repeat also for other stations. Now you can remove the medium from the slot.
