Yesterday this error started appearing when starting the car. When I go outside the car one number plate light does not work until I hit it slightly, then it lights up, but the error stays.

 

This must be some contact error, anybody had something similar?

I had the warning, so I replaced the bulb, warning stayed on.

After a while I checked again and the light was actually off.

So I took the light out when the car was running, it turned on, pushed it to double check it was seated correctly, put it back in and it's worked since (which I admit has been just 48 hours).

So I can't really help, but will be checking in to see if anyone else can.

Sound like a loose connection in the lighting unit. Take it out and make sure bulb is seated correctly and reinstall.

How do you remove the light cover, there are no screws?

Push it to the right a bit (spring loaded), then pull down a bit, push to the left and it should come out. No tools needed.

Had the same issue for a couple of months I would get the warning but a tap to the light resolved. Replaced the bulb about a month ago and no warning since.

Still have the issue, pretty annoying. I guess I will try to replace a bulb.

Sounds like a good opportunity to replace with the Skoda LED units  

 

They are pretty cheap and the units/bulbs should last years. 000 052 110 is the part no.

 

I concour  Mine were £9.50 each from eBay.

So the police can see you better? 

 

 

Might get one of these as well...

Did you have to code the number plate lights

Yes they need coding or will show bulb out warnings. 5 Min job with VCDS, OBDEleven etc.

I've got the same error,

Is that a genuine Skoda part then? 

If so do they still need coding or not?

I have the same ones. They are genuine but do need coding using odbeleven or similar.
