Puddle light is the light that illuminates the pavement beneath the mirror - part of the 'coming home' feature, yeah? And the indicator repeater just means the plain old 'indicator' in the wing mirror? When you used the word spludger I thought it was going to be some slang I didn't know, but lo and behold, a quick search later there they are. You learn something new every day. Thanks

You're a star. Thanks. They certainly look like the correct parts. Would you (or anyone else) be getting them from anywhere in particular? There seems to be a place called skoda-parts.com, or Ebay...? Is the Skoda main dealer the same price?

Okayyyy... this looks way beyond my capabilities at this stage of ownership, perhaps forever. What are you using to see/amend this info?

So, a bloody telegraph pole leapt out at me as I was reversing and damaged the driver's wing mirror! Everything is working - the mirror assembly folds back when locked, the mirror moves using the joystick, the indicator and other lights in it all function, etc - but the indicator lens and the frame(?) are broken. My big questions are, a) am I able to tackle a fix myself using the fewest parts possible (to reduce cost) and, b) is the weatherproof-ness compromised in the meantime that will leave me stuck on the motorway in the rain? I've seen there are bits and pieces on AliExpress, official parts from Skoda and guides for changing indicator indicator lenses, but because the frame(?) is broken is this something altogether different? If possible can someone help me with parts identification? Ta.

Thanks everybody for your replies - I wasn't sure if my post was too long for a first ever post! 1) Yeah, I've done this. I think this is how/why the profile that's shown as default varies with the key inserted. Ah, OK. I have the folding mirrors, but not electric/memory seats. Even if it weren't reliable, how do you enable the option? (Or is it the unreliability I'm already experiencing?) OK, will do a factory reset in the morning and see where that puts me.

To set the scene, I'm a first-time owner (3 weeks) of a second-hand Octavia 3 SE L 2.0 TDI 7-speed DSG. I've spent what I thought was a good amount of time in the owner's manual and the infotainment unit's menus, but there are things that I'm struggling to personalise and some things left over from the previous owner's setting (not necessarily a bad thing) that are making me question what I'm not understanding. Additionally, a couple of general points: Is there a way of knowing what, if any, optional extras my car has, or even a list of what's standard on my car? Also, as a new owner what could I or should I be upgrading software and firmware-wise that's changed in the last 4 years and what benefits will it bring me? (2 SD card slots in the glove box, one with Skoda branded SD card in it.) 1) Wing mirror personalisation - keys are assigned to two different users (each key displays a different default name when the car is unlocked and key inserted in ignition). When doors unlocked and key inserted using one key the mirrors are set then key removed and doors locked. Next user unlocks and inserts the other key, sets the mirrors, then removes key and locks. First user unlocks and inserts key, starts the car, but the mirrors remain where the second user left them. What am I doing wrong? 2) Mirror angle changing when parking to be able to see kerb better - do all models have this function, how do I know if mine does, because nothing changes when the mirror selector is set to L and I choose reverse gear, which is how I thought the function was engaged? 3) I've deleted (I think) the first and second previous users/last owners and personalised all the settings for mirrors, lights, etc, for me. Then copied my settings over to one for my partner. All seems to have been duplicated, great. But when I use 'the secondary key' the dashboard's central display (not infotainment unit) defaults to a scrollable list of frequently visited locations belonging to the last owners, whereas my 'primary key' displays the speed. This leads me to wonder, a) what settings haven't I found/deleted from the previous owners and, b) how could I personalise this part of the instrument cluster display for myself/my partner in the future? I haven't done a 'factory reset', but I wonder if this might be the way to start over, but then by doing that I'm not sure I'd have the knowledge or experience to do what's possible... any thoughts? Thanks in advance
