Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I'm currently trying to change my crank sensor. Oil cooler is out the way, bolt is out but the sensor won't come out. It turns left & right about 45degrees or so as it hits the surroundings. No amount of wiggling has shifted it. Is there a trick to it or is even more persistence & swearing necessary?

I don't think they can be replaced without taking the bumber off. I think they screw on from above
-
Standard rear Fabia mudflaps can be fitted to the vRS bumper. It just needs the small lip trimmed off. The shape/profile of the vRS bumper will then slot into the standard Fabia mudflap

Looks about right. They are sided though.The Depo number should be 445 at the start not 444 I think. 445 might actually be on in picture

It might be possible to convert them... https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/490847-converting-headlights-from-lhd-to-rhd/

No worries. The weak beam you first mentioned is likely burnt out projectors bowls as mentioned above. There is no easy fix for this. The self levelling issue is likely one of the reflector ball/socket mounts on the motor has popped off. Over zealous adjusting can cause this (if the headlights aren't set using VCDS to adjustment) - by taking the headlights out & looking at them from behind should identify this & make it more obvious how to pop it back on. I'm not sure how the brightness of a headlight is tested on an MOT or the Portuguese equivalent - I'm guessing it's the testers discretion as there are so many variables with ambient light etc? Good luck

The self levelling sensor is at the back of the car, passenger side on RHD, if this stops working it should throw a fault code/bulb warning. The motors shown above are a common VW part so should be readily available. If thete are no codes or dashboard lights, they are probably working but the ball & socket may have popped off. When I had headlight issues a few years ago I bought a pair & I'm sure they were about £10-£15 each. If there is really a problem with the xenon units, you can swap them with a set of halogen units but the self levelling would need to be working & would need swapping over

Over the years I've had various advisories which haven't been done, only for the following year it not be mentioned Examples include: In 2012 I had 2 advisories about the windscreen - never changed it & hasn't featured again 2015 - an advisory for a noisy wheel bearing, never changed it & 50k miles later still not mentioned again Don't get hung up on it. I had a similar one for brake hoses but i did change them myself. My back box was corroded on the outer skin so I just pulled away the rough looking bits. The antiroll bar links might be worth doing before the next one Also one year my car was going to fail because of the factory fitted xenons - nothing to do with alignment, the garage thought they were modified which isn't allowed. I argued & showed them the original order form & page in the manual which shows the D2S bulb, they then passed it

I don't think they are. I think the fronts tilt whereas the rears don't. I think they are slightly different shapes too. That said, they may well have the same distance between the legs and therefore might "fit" either front or rear.

When I was having issues with the bulb warning light always being on, I also had issues with VCDS not finding the range/level controller. A quick clean of the connector sorted it. Have a look at this thread
