My Octavia estate 63 plate has leaving and coming home lights. However recently the leaving home function has be one tempramental. It seems to work after a number of attempts, it is dark and the coming home lights seem unaffected. I have played around with the settings in the MFD but it still seems to playing up. Any ideas?

Being an old timer I think of flat batteries all the time. Spent many winter trying to conserve failing batteries in winter conditions. My luckiest start was in the snow after a cold overnight stop. My 850 Mini was barely cranking over. I removed one spark plug and it luckily fired up on 3. Screwed the plug in with engine running. Well I was stranded otherwise.

So use of headlights etc. without the engine running gives me flashbacks.

Hope that you get your modern day problem sorted.

More than likely a flat battery or below power battery . Mine does it and when it happens I put the battery on charge overnight and all's good. I also get the indication on the maxi dot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers will have a look tomorrow 

My BMW disabled the welcome lights when the main battery was low. My wife's Mitsubishi disables them when the keyless fob is low also...
