I have a 2017 Skoda Yeti, that's Euro 6, and has been no trouble at all in the year I've had it now.
I have done 20,000 miles in it in that time though, so plenty of journeys to keep it all clear and ... |

There was a HSE Lux with a dealer here in South Wales recently - 14 plate from memory and 18,000 miles.
That’s what I’d call low mileage.
It was £22k though. |

I had my old HSE Lux ones powder coated in a silver finish, getting rid of the diamond cut - much better.
I had a Metropolis after that with gloss black wheels - even better again. |

Its much easier to just cut the two wires coming from the switch, and join on the new switch.
Polarity doesn't matter, as it's only a circuit closed by the switch.
You don't need to dismantle the ta ... |
