Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 42mm or 38mm Festoon LED

    In the Octavia Scout 2012 (with sunroof) what size are the festoon lights (internal ones when doors open etc)? 38mm or 42mm? I seem to see people mention both for even the normal octavia...

    From memory, they're 38mm.

    You could always take a bulb out and measure it!

        The boot is T10, but I got some proper LED replacements from Superskoda. They're so bright, and useful! I wouldn't bother replacing the boot lights with LED's, just get the SS units.

        Reading lights are LED, yes.
        All three (centre and two reading) turn on when you open the door, in the front and rear.

        I just got one of those 2x4 LED units from SuperCheap Auto. Works well!

        Enjoy the car.

          Well just to update (in case someone searches and find the topic) the fitting is spring loaded so either actually fits fun..
