[Dull Interior lights and no ambient lights]

I had to have bcm replaced, seems to pop up here every so often. Expensive to fix too. 

[Drivers side window switches]

Replaced mine today, the one that has the child lock enable/disable buttons on it. For once a 5 minute job that took less than 5 minutes!

[Very dim MFD and entertainment system]

Same as above, pricey BCM needed to be fitted and coded.

I've put double USB ports in place of the 12V port.

See here - 

 

 

Originally I planned to retrofit a fully fledged (Android Auto & CarPlay capable) USB port inside the centre arm rest console, like the factory option, but it requires more hardware and more trim removal.

So I ended chosing this alternate way.

 

 

 

:ooks great, can you post a link to the new usb part please? Thanks.

[So, I have KESSY but I have a question about the physical key that is 'hidden' in the remote]

It can also be used to open the boot from the inside if the lock broke, but any key or similar will work to pop the trunk from the inside.

[Automatic Handbrake Issue??]

Perfect answer thanks rootoot, saved me a lot of bother. Thanks muchly.

[Automatic Handbrake Issue??]

Hi,

 

Just had my car tested, and when I got home my handbrake does not activate with the break pedal. It still works fine with the switch.

 

This happened recently with a BCM failure and was fixed with replacement BCM.

 

Is there a setting I can use to reset system to use the foot brake again? I can get a lend of VCDS if needed.

 

Thanks.

Did you get this sorted mate.. I had a bcm pack up on mine at 110k miles. 400 quid part and many hours labour to refit and recode 

J had one go too, and the replacement too. Replacement of the replacement was covered by Skoda.

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

Also, the infotainment unit and maxi dot work perfectly until key is put in ignition. Then they immediately dim. 

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

Just checked part number replaced was 5Q0937084CQ.

I presume a 2 year warranty applies to dealer supplied and fitted parts?

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

They had a lot of difficulty finding cause of issue, Skoda factory were looking at it remotely too. Am just hoping not going to have issue every few months.

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

Can't remember, was over a year ago. Module was replaced by Skoda and been fine since, camera was removed and car is 100% standard. Car was fine on way to work, fault just happened after I started car. 

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

Installation of a reversing camera was suspected cause last time. No idea what causes it this time. 

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

I had one replaced, not under warranty, about a year ago. Similar problem. Any idea what causes the failure? Is it a known issue?? 

[Interior light dim and heated seats not working?]

Today my interior lights stopped working, radio and dash lights dimmed and heated seats stopped working.

 

Any ideas on what is causing this? Nothing has been added/changed lately.

 

Thanks.

Am also looking to replace a tired pair of gas struts, am advice on sellers? Thanks

[Passat headrests on a Superb?]

Be interesting to see how this works out. Might check out my local breakers.

[Gas Struts for hatch boot]

Thanks, what would be best to try lubricate struts, don't want to damage seals? Spray grease? 

[Gas Struts for hatch boot]

Thanks, will search the Yeti forum.

[Gas Struts for hatch boot]

Hi,

 

Am looking at replacing manual opening boot gas struts, they are getting very lazy/weak. Car is less than 3 years old.
