Had to get 5 people plus luggage, from Cumbria to Oban on Friday night.  The A82 was blocked with snow, so we tried the A85.  Ended up getting stuck for a few hours near Crianlarich because of a lorry that had slid down a hill and jackknifed.  Didn't get to Oban until the "wee small hours" but the car did magnificently!  4x4 with winter tyres.  No problem with traction whatsoever - even on the bits that hadn't been ploughed.  However, it did do something odd...

I noticed the lights weren't great, and assumed the lenses were covered in snow but one of them was switching off periodically.  Now earlier this year, I bought an OBDeleven dongle and downloaded the fault codes (which could have been in there for a few years, for all I know) and one of them was something to do with a light (transformer, I think?) overheating.  I didn't pay much attention at the time, because the lights seemed to work fine, but I'm wondering if the two are related?  I'll plug it back in when I get a minute and see if the code has come back.  Does anyone have any experience of overheating lights?  (Or light transformers).

Only other sour note, was a lorry throwing up a stone and cracking the windscreen, but c'est la vie!

 

There was a similar report of intermittent headlight operation, affecting the pre-facelift LED headlights recently. Not sure of the outcome, unless it was you, but as they're sealed I'd imagine a Skoda main dealer would simply recommend replacing the complete light cluster. Expensive if not under warranty.
