Auto tinting rear view mirror weirdness...

Followers

12 January, 201511 yr

Morning all,

I always thought the auto tinting rear view mirror was a bit intermittent on my octy. Recently I've noticed that it always 'tints' when the car behind has incandescent / halogen headlamps but almost never dips if the car behind has xenon / HID headlamps.

Has anyone else noticed this, is there a fix??

Thanks

Dave

First time starting a project thread, bear with me... Heard about this Roomster not too far from me that might be heading for a scrapyard, and decided to try to acquire it. That went well and it came to my place this last weekend. Early 2012, 1.2 TSI, 5sp manual, 158k miles on the clock. This is it, just after being washed. Paintwork is far from pristine, but that's not something I care much about. I'd looked up the spec via the reg plate before seeing pics of the car, so there were one or t

Replacing recirculation flap motor

VRSCupraNut · 3 August, 20253 Aug

Hi all, I have just replaced the recirculation flap motor on my 2015 Fabia MK3. I looked all over the web to find any useful instructions and only found some for the Ibiza here which are actually pretty good, but thought I'd add a few additional comments from my own experience. The symptoms were a loud clicking from behind the passenger side dash when the recirculation button was turned on In short it can be done by removing just the glove box although it's a bit fiddly. The glovebox is

CAN Network Gateway Question.

Dave_Simmo · 18 hours ago18 hr

2022 Skoda Octavia 1.5tsi estate. Following a battery issue, I now have 10 CAN Network Gateway faults, all related to low voltage. The battery has been replaced with a new one but I need to register the new one with the car. I have a Carista EVO reader but it won’t reset the fault codes. Reads them fine but won’t reset them. (I’ve subscribed for a month so that part is fine.) I checked the battery voltage and it was 14.1v so I took the car for a 30 minute drive to see if the car’s computer/sens
