Hi, thanks! I’ve done about 1500 miles since I got the car, and some of that has been potentially a little harder on the car than some others’ driving would have been - by which I mean using high revs, not smashing it into gear. The engine code is CDA. I’ll have a look - thanks

I have had a 2011 1.8 Octavia TSI since late August. When I bought it, it had a perfectly clear MOT, and has had no history of anything related to oil (or the engine in general) on the MOTs. It also had a full service before I took it away from the garage. Since I bought it, I’ve had to top up the oil, and I’ve just started getting the oil light again on the dash. I just checked the oil, and it was just barely above the bottom section of the dipstick. When I topped it up less than a month ago, it was pretty much full. Obviously something is taking the oil, but there isn’t any on my driveway, and there isn’t any over the engine or anything like that. I also have no smoke from the exhaust, so I have no clue where it’s going. Any ideas? Cheers

Thanks, as far as the advantages go, there are 2 main ones for me: LED bulbs tend to last far longer, and are cheaper in the long run. Also, apart from the aesthetic difference (which I think helps to make a slightly older car like my 2011 Octavia look more modern for a low cost) they do tend to light up the road far better, in my opinion.

Just been changing some of the lights on my car to LED, and am getting errors coming up on my dash for each one, saying to check them. Not had it affect the drive or anything, but wondered if there was a way to get rid of the warnings?
