MK3 Octavia - List of Defects, Faults and Issues

[woofy]

Geeze that's quite a list, sure the big rock didn't hit the radiator as well

I had my car delivered with bulges in the front headlights which was weird, but they were both replaced a week later, and on the MkII they just pop out the front. I've had no other issues since. Guessing the MkIII lights are harder, makes me wonder how fun they are to change bulbs in?

It's not that big a job - a couple of hours. Good apprentice job.

Supposedly bumper off for all bulbs but I've seen some references to people doing it in-situ. They were in a foreign language so maybe I translated wrongly.

Come to think of it, it might did a number on the radiator lol.

I'm pretty sure changing the main light can be done in-situ without bumper off. I can clearly see the bulb just by opening the sealing cap. The rest of the bulbs I'm afraid is a bumper off job.
