Skoda Headlamp Buzzer, Fuel range and Boot Rear door remote opening

Featured Replies

Got a few intermittent electrical issues now.....

 

Noticed that my fuel range only showed 300 miles after a fill up which should have given me 600 miles. It did not clear overnight but having drove 100 miles plus today its back where it should be. Tank gauge showed a full tank like normal.

 

Noticed the headlamp buzzer did not sound after I went to get out og the car with lights on.

 

Noticed the boot does not always unlock when I double click the fob , rear doors function ok.

 

I assume the above is related to moisture in the car as it has been wet recently and I know the rear door seals need looking at and have noticed that on warmer days or by mid morning everything seems to function fine.......................dehumidifyer needed I think :)

Headlamp buzzer not sounding is usually caused by a failed microswitch on the driver's doot lock unit. They can fail altogether or become intermittent. It can stop the boot lid opening too.

 

Fuel range problem may be unrelated.

  Try this - unlock the doors with the remote. Open the drivers door and leave it open for over 30 seconds. Does the car relock itself after 30 seconds with the door still open? If it does it's definitely the microswitch. However, if it's failing intermittently it will behave itself at times.
