Hi, I'm very new here and under less than ideal circumstances (story for another time), I just bought a 2013 Octavia 1.6 TDi estate (mk3). It came with a couple of minor faults, and I'd like to be able to get to the root cause. I've been reading posts on this site almost non-stop for 2 days and have a lot more information now, but I need to get the car plugged in to make progress.

Niggle 1 - Bulb warning light permanently shows on dash. Infotainment screen says it's OS headlamp which is actually working, as do all the lights front and rear. Paperwork shows that this showed up years ago but apparently has never been resolved.

Niggle 2 - Long beep when selecting reverse gear, reverse sensors inop and not ticking, nothing on screen. Reverse lights both working.

If anyone near Dorset/Somerset/Wilts with a VCDS would be willing to help a lady out I'd be eternally grateful (not expecting a freebie).

Thanks.

Edit: this evening I did see the parking aid on the screen for a few seconds when reversing and heard normal reversing beeps, so the system potentially works. Time to clean the sensors.
