Thanks. I will solve this problem, one way or another. Bye, Ioseph.

Hi xpower, I tried your idea with a torch. A minor effect for a very short time. In my not professional opinion this is simply a design defect. I intend to discuss this problem with the manufacturer. For now I set the small display between the speedometer and the RPM meter to show speed. As the matter of truth this is quite convenient. Will let you know if a solution will be found. Thanks, Ioseph.

Hi, So far my problem persists (only on bright sunny Days). I will have a word with the dealership which sold me this car, and if necessary , I will contact the manufacturer. Regards, Ioseph.

Hi, I am not sure how it will solve my problem' but I will certainly give it a try. Thanks, Ioseph.

Hi Gregoir, thanks for your reply. As a matter of fact, I am thinking along the same lines. I can adjust the level of illumination, but it is effective only on night time. Daytime , even when set to maximum is not sufficient. I am checking the manual continuously and trying to find the right adjustment. Eventually I will solve this issue. Best Regards, Ioseph

Hi MarkyG82 , yes, I do use polarized sun glasses, and they contribute to the problem, but even when I change to clear glasses or no glasses at all - the problem persists. I am considering writing to the manufacturer. Thanks for your reply. Ioseph.

Hi, I purchased couple of weeks ago a brand new 2018 Skoda Octavia 1.8L. Great Car ! Have one problem (so far) which I am unable to resolve : When driving in bright daylight I can barely see the km/h numbers around the speedometer. (Clearly visible when heavily clouded or night time). I adjusted the Instrument illumination to maximum, does not help. I can use the small maxidot display to observe a digital display of my speed, but I prefer to use it to monitor another parameter. Any ideas ? Thanks, Ioseph
