Anyone found a suitable compatible parking sensor for the Skoda Roomster? I've got two faulty sensors and just spoke to dealer (bristol, UK) who says the part is listed as obsolete with no compatible replacement available (from VW in netherlands)

These were the ones: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08KHJHZVQ Philips Racing Vision GT200 H7 Headlight Bulb +200%

Almost went for the osram, but the philips equivalent guaranteed road legal and mentioned europe, so they can foot the bill of any fines. Thanks a lot for the help, wouldn't have probably bothered without your push!

Is there a limit, especially if taking it to france/spain? I guess go for the 200% monsters, but wondered if there is a legal brightness limit and therefore go lower?

Hi from a fellow new (10days) roomster owner, Bristol based. Those headlights are awful, must be some xenon monsters we can get, full main beams is okay but dipped or whatever is useless. Really liking this 1.9TDI with cruise control, basic audio is nice and punchy, and the car seems fixable by myself (little experience but replaced window etc in Suzuki Wagon R+). The only downside is the odb2 port feels useless, got to get access to VCDS for diagnostics (my parking system is faulting).

So it seems the left bass speaker in passenger front was ceased or rusting inside the coil space. Didn't want to drill the rivets, so worked it loose for 10-15minutes in the rain and it sounds acceptable to heavy bass levels. There is vibration noise from both left doors, including broken door clips which I now have spares, but plan to do some deadening and some insulation. Fixed the heated mirror and left window switch (can't easily get the old switch out the case, but replacement works at least). It's ticking along nicely

Thanks, yeah I believe it's the Dance version of DIN unit, which has a treble cleff music symbol to do base/fade etc. It was all up at nine and dropping helped massively, also removing small stones/glass shards from door pocket removed some vibration noises during bassy numbers, but the passenger left is definitely unhappy above mild bass even at zero and faded balance mostly right. Found a good door panel removal video so will have a look tomorrow, maybe it's just panel noise and some wadding/padding will fix, fingers crossed. Someone mentioned mildly corroded contacts can do same thing so sanding a bit can help, I guess always worth trying before replacing the unit.

Lovely, needed cruise control due to bad knee, had a similar shaped Suzuki Wagon R+ before but gifted by relatives so this is the first car I've bought. Got a couple of issues, parking sensors and two of four speakers have bass distortion, minor things and I'm electrically and technically minded so should be fun. Need to find a free workshop manual and some way of doing VAG-COM or more than simple odb2. Driven from Bristol to Cornwall and lovely drive, well chuffed.
