Intermittent fault with Indicator

Featured Replies

My rear left indicator stopped working and gave me the appropriate warning lights on the dash. Next time I drove the vehicle it was still not working but then started to work again later in the Journey.

I would appreciate any suggestions if any one has an opinion on the most likely cause of this fault, if it is common , potential cost to fix etc.

Cheers in advance

Hi, welcome.

 

Start by checking the bulb, the lamp holder and wire connections - you probably just need to replace the bulb with a new one, advice and instruction on this is in the Owner's Manual.

 

If for some reason you've not got your paper printed copy then you can get a pdf version from the following link. - https://manual.skoda-auto.com/004/en-com/Models

 

To the best of my memory you want a 382 (P21W) bulb - but always check any info you get from any source particularly from the internet, pub or me.

 

Do yourself a favour and don't buy cheap bulbs as they often don't last long, the heavy-duty/longlife type described ones seem to be the old standard grade instead of the cheaper (crap) ones now.

 

If it's not that come back for more suggestions - even if the bulb looks OK I'd still change it for a (good) new one whilst I'm there, I've known intermittent a bulb (and a fuse) on cars.

Just thought, if you go to the 'CAR' menu on the infotainment it should shown and tell you if a bulb (or connection) has gone (or is playing up, or the computers but both are a different subject for now).
