Has anyone had any problems with the light warning sensor on the dash, going in tomorrow for its third time to try and get it sorted. From what i've been told its to do with the rear high vis brake light, and the problem only occurs on the Vrs. Nothing actually wrong with the lights but everyday getting in and hearing that beep is driving me mad

This happened to the long-term test car that Autocar had, and I gather it's a bit of a common problem (no doubt there are some other posts on here about it...) At least you've got a fairly good chance that that IS the problem, and it's easily enough sorted under warranty, apparently! [EDIT: or not, after reading your post properly ]

in for waranty work today and they narrowed it down to some friendly sensor box or something like that they said

Mine had exactly the same and still does ! Light sensor has a life of its own ... quiet for a couple of weeks then has a bit of a fit coming on and off for a day or two then fine again. The garage in their helpful friendly way ... decided they can't help as it is intermittent and unles they see it happen can't fix it. They offered to let one of their staff use it for a week or so ( very generous I thought !!! NOT ... I really want to leave it with someone who doesnt care a stuff for a week to drive !) to try and identify the source. Eventually managed, through SKODA customer service (who were great) to swap the high level brake light (mentioning the auotcar test car and contacting the garage who fixed their problem) but still happens every now and then !! I would be interested to know exactly what sensor box was replaced as according to my dealer no such thing exists !!

Have learnt to live with it, my friend who has a MKIV Golf says his does the same very so often to maybe a VAG feature !

was told the part should be here on tuesday and more than likely get done at the end of the week, i'll find out what they replace and let you know, starting to get a wee bit annoying been going off since september and is on its 3rd or 4th high level brake light. Starting to loose count

light warning sensor, whats thatfor?

light warning sensor, whats thatfor?

I'm assuming a light warning is like 'don't do that again, or I'll be cross'

Oh, I'm so funny!

it comes on when one of you bulbs or lights isn't working, but on the vrs's the high vis is sending back the wrong signal. They phoned today new part in some relay getting all the details tomorrowwhen she goes to get fixed for the 5th time, will post will the details

The control unit didn't work, collected the car at 330 warning came on again at 2100 o balls, phoned skoda on saturaday they couldn't believe it. Back to the drawing board lads, hopefully going to hear from them today after they speak to Skoda UK for the 6th time and get some kind of solution
