It just seems absolutely bizarre to me though that you can have projector headlights and would still have an error code that would come up on the dash? Surely Skoda (VWAG) would've thought that through before putting these in so many cars? I know that there aren't any approved by the UK but am I right in saying that as long as the beam pattern is correct this would pass an MOT? This is all completely new to me it honestly is, so I appreciate all the information I can get! My mate in work actually gave me the bulbs after changing his from halogen to Led (15 plate vauxhall insignia) and he never had any codes show up. If I leave them in, is this going to cause me any issues further down the line? It may be a daft question to ask but honestly it is completely new to me.

Thanks for that! Is there anything I can put on this so that it works or would this have to be coded? Also would this be the same for my headlights?

Hi all, I have recently just put some LED bulbs in for my reg plate but I have an error that has come up on the dash to say check registration plate lights. I have tried to have a look about to see if there's anything on this and it come back as needing to be coded. I have looked and tried for alternative possible solutions before spending out but I've had no such luck. Strangely when I have one halogen and one LED the dashboard light goes off. Could this possibly be that I need a new complete unit or just simply get it coded? Also thinking about changing my dipped lights but will this be the same story? Any advice would be great!

Thanks mate! I was thinking the same but tried looking through the forums to see if that was a common thing....but certainly gonna have this changed under warranty!

Hi all! New to the forum so thanks for having me! A few months ago I bought a MK2 Superb S 2.0tdi 140, and its been a great car so far. It's on a 63 plate with 195k, good history and I only paid £2600 with a 6 month warranty from an independent garage. Car pulls and drives surprisingly well considering the mileage. Now the issue I'm having is that it seems to take an age to get up to full temp (90°c.) I travel around 12.5 miles each way to and from work most of this is motorway miles and takes about 20 mins or so. I have had a look at the oil temp on the MFD and that can get up to about 80°c or so but as soon as I put the heating on it drops down as well so by the time I'm at work it's just about quarter of the way up on the temp gauge. I have done a test on this when when I have been out driving and it takes anywhere between 45 - 50 mins to stay at 90°c but can drop with the heating on. Is this a normal thing for these cars to do? I know the diesels can take a little while longer to heat up but surely not this long I imagine? Any help or suggestions would be great!! 😊
