Hi,

 

I have a Scoda Octavia Scout 2008.

 

Error message claims that the rear right light bulb is broken. It's not the stop lights, not the reverse lights but the light that's always on... Seems to be 4 lights that are always on and the 2 most to the right of the lamp are not working. Up and down.

 

Does anyone know which type of bulbs these are? I prefer not to remove it to see. Which specifications? Thanks

 

Pretty certain they are w3w. If they are the ones that light up the 'c' shape. 

Yes that's the place. Aha, w3w... I only seem to find w5w but it should be w3w? I should look some more then.

I bought mine in Halfords.

 

Yep w3w...   These are the ones I used to use when I had an Octavia estate...

In fact I've probably still got a load somewhere in the garage (not sure where though...) 

Aha and w5w doesnt work? The large shop here doesnt have w3w more strange.

Maybe late…. But w3w is not correct.

rear light unit has w5w. Had them changed regularly in the 9 years I had me octavia. 

Hehe yes i already ordered 3w3, but didn't dismount the lamp yet so can go and buy the w5w as well. I'll see which suits.

Seems like the old ones were 3w3 it looked like, a bit faded text colour though. I put in 3w3 and it worked. Not sure if 5w5 works as well.

I did say 3w3 were the right ones...   😁

Just checked my handbook (for a related similar vehicle) and it the exact opposite: w5w in the front and w3w in the rear.

 

Thanks for the tip. Perhaps w5w works as well, w3w seems quite difficult to find i had to order them, but it worked.
