|  Electrics. Groan...... Morning All. My Superb is less than at the moment!. Just bought it but the interior lights dont work on door opening, (Floor and door puddle lamps DO tho') Boot light also no go. Door and boot open display ok. F Nearside footwell is damp, but garage says this and wiring not covered by Skoda warranty. Be real glad of some help.  Thank You. JJ |

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... How old is the car? Does it have a service history? Sounds like water has got in and soaked the central convenience unit.

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... Node joint under the carpet on n/s/r. Its a split in the interior light wiring, will have corroded due to water ingress due to poor pollen filter housing sealing and/or blocked plenum drains. Been covered a fair few times on the site in the past.

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... 30000 leaker eh, if you bought it through the network then I'd go in and talk about rejecting it as not fit for the purpose and watch the song change to ... well maybe we can help you out, and don't be scared to issue them with a court order. |

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... Just thought to check my pollen filter seal,pulled the plenum chamber cover off, and there is the new pollen filter sitting there, i assume that there should be a lid there to cover it?Car was serviced at a dealer in J anuary,and new pollen filter fitted |

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... Sort of good news so far. They have said they need the car for a week to check for water ingress. Also lent me a car to go on with. JJ |

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... Still being repaired (I hope) Reading 'goodbye Skoda hello Ford' makes me wonder if I have done the right thing. Does Skoda head office or whatever have anything to say to these problems? Surely all dealers would be aware of design faults and the repairs needed??? JJ |

They back the dealer up ime, when I rang them the 1st lady was polite and seemed to want to help, then a 2nd lady marched in on it and said to me..."we've done all we can *which was about zero* you'll have to sort it out with the dealer" finally I spoke to another man who advised me to "let a different set of eyes see it" I gave up in the end, my answer to them is when the time arrives to get a new car it won't be a Skoda and I will be dropping SUcK a line to explain why a 15k sale every 30 mths walked away back to VAUXHALL. | |

| Re: Electrics. Groan...... Back to the drawing board.... Water ingress + wiring spec. excluded from warranty( surprise). However Telfords Carlisle are considering authorising the work to be done in Chippenham and they foot the bill. Hope hope hope etc.. JJ |
