Hi everyone, since I posted this question I have not yet done anything about it. But one of the suggestions was to use the rear fogs at the same time if no one is behind you, that was by toot. Another answer came from MATT0693 stating that he had upgraded the bulbs on his OCTAVIA, but I find there is nothing wrong with the reversing lights on my Sons OCTAVIA! If the lights on my SUPERB were as good as the ones on the OCTAVIA's I would never have posed the question. As most Superb owners will agree the reversing lights are useless, they only let anyone behind you know that you are about to reverse. Regards to all. D4KGP.

Hi MATT0693, thanks for your reply. I'll have a look at those and maybe order some. Thanks again. D4KGP.

Hi a666andy, thanks for your reply. So what bulbs did you fit to your Superb?

Hi is there anyway to improve illumination from the reversing lights on MK2 Superb?

Hi, thanks for replying. Yes in my confusion I put MK3, but as you mentioned my car is indeed a Superb MK2, as for the MK2 Octavia that was a question I raised for my eldest Son who owns that car. I dont know why the battery should be weak as its not that old, but thats what my youngest Son said it could be. So he then set about and jumped the car and now at this point its ok. The battery is a Hankook of the correct size and amp hrs, are these batteries a reasonable make for reliability etc? Thanks and Regards. D4KGP.

Have this code, dash display gone crazy and car will not start can not lock remotely. All fuses ok. Any ideas?

Hi everyone. Just to update you all put electric heater in the car to try and remove damp atmosphere, charged the battery over a couple of days connected it up yesterday my Son then put the key in and hey presto everything lit up like a Christmas tree! Turned the key and to our delight and relief engine burst into life, so at the moment everything is fine. Thanks to all those who replied to the initial posting.

Hi read the original posting.

Hi as I understand it a proper scan can only be done if the engine is running. Yes or No?

Hi thanks, have you had anything like this happen to you if so what did you do to rectify it.

Hi its a 1.9 diesel, runs for about 30/60 seconds

Hi everyone I was registered on here before under the display name POUCH, but I've had to do it again as Briskoda would not recognise me!! Anyway the problem is my son's Octavia starts but will not run, the maxidot and instrument panel does not illuminate. The heater fan works as do the lights, but the thing will not run on after starting it. We put a electric heater in there as we thought it might be because of the cold weather creating damp, fuses are all ok we're at a loss to understand what the problem is. Has anyone on here had the same problem?? Any and all help/suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks and regards. D4KGP.
