OP says the jacking points in the pinch welds aren't useable hence my suggestion of the rear beam for the axel stands and jack the vehicle from the workshop lift points if you see what I mean. As you say, don't jack the rear beam but in my experience it's been no problem to use axel stands under it placed as close to the wheels as possible.

What yer man said ^^^ Breaker bar almost always required to crack 'em and then yeah, torqued up to 120Nm. Easier to crack when on the ground, parking brake on, go around all four with the breaker to initially crack 'em and then ratchet them out off the gound.

I noticed the same/ similar effect in a Kia Cee'd I rented. I'm not keen on it tbh. A little off putting in low sun.

Evenin' @Sirward and glad you finally made it here

It's the bling and other lighting carp that annoys me most. Seriously, who needs a full LED stripe across the front and rear with LED makers logos? And the apps. The bloody APPS! And bring back big buttons/ knobs/ dials to adjust the cabin temperature.

White goods with wheels = much cheapness. Might as well put a 'Beko' badge on some IMO

@Crai I don't know for the Octavia you have but I believe Carista can disable the bulb check for my Rapid. It may be possible to use that or similar or VCDS to code out the fog light bulb check on your Octavia?

Actually after thinking, you would probably have to do it for both sides to avoid the bulb out error.

My 2014 LHD (in Germany) Rapid has a single foglight on the rear only on the driver's side What about extending the wiring from the your driver's side to the passenger side or must it have two foglights?

Hello @GraemeFish and welcome to Briskoda 👋

Have a read of this thread https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/492072-axle-standjack-point-location/ For the rear, I'd suggest putting the axel stands under the rear beam.

Hi and welcome to Briskoda @woosydiver 👋

Hi 👋 and welcome back to Briskoda @BlackEdition72

Reacting then maybe 🤔

I hope they've heard of galvanisation by now.

Hi @Trickiejohn and welcome to Briskoda 👍

Jack goes under the round part. Use a suitable trolley jack with a rubber pad.
