Little Visitor In My Light Cluster


Recommended Posts

So I'm washing the car - and this is one fly I can't get rid of. It's inside my rear light cluster.  Any suggestions on how to get it out?!?  I hate flies at the best of times.

I've privately been sent a photo of a dead parrot and offered a PX...  :biggrin:

Anyone actually know if those units can be opened?  Or any real clue as to how the bloody thing got in there?

I'll be filing in holes I reckon...

Probably the only way to do it would be to remove one of the bulbs and tip the unit upside down.  

 

For example, if a person was stupid enough to not correctly seat a LED reverse bulb in the cluster and then the bulb was to fall out and roll around in the cluster housing then perhaps that person could assure you that you can easily retrieve objects that have fell into the void.  I'm sure that would be the case.  :blush

 

For the record this person was 100% definitely not me...possibly.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly, I don't why she swallowed a fly. I guess she'll die:ohmy:

The dealer ordered a replacement light cluster. Took it in. Wrong one. 

Ordered another, took it in - wrong one. I became ****ed off. 

Mechanic took a salesman's car and swapped them out. 

Not my problem anymore. :-)

Skoda pdi checklist:

 

1. Ensure transit blocks are still fitted.

2. Over inflate tyres to 4 differing pressures.

3. Ensure all dead bugs are present in light clusters and on show.

4. Hand over keys to new customer. 

 

 

 

I have a SE-L Exec I don't have the dead fly.  Must have been deleted for the MY18.

Seriously, did they really swap it under warranty?? I actually have the same issue...

It looks to be on the inner cluster (on the bootlid)?

 

If so this cluster serves no purpose (other than the LED strip on high-functionality clusters) so is a sealed unit.

 

I reckon it is a Czech Republic fly!

Sorry for the delay - yes they did!  Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington. To be fair the service from those guys is always fab.
