Strange rear light failure warnings

[ChA6dders]

Did you try a new bulb?

Reversing lights won't affect your mot iirc.

TBH no but the bulb looks intact I'll try it with the O/S bulb tomorrow as far as MOT goes, I'm sure if it's got two reversing lights they should both work
Any MOT testers on here Crasher Zollaf ??

Mine passed it's MOT today too. The guy that did it, failed it due to a cut in the tyre, but when I challenged it with the Manager, he overruled the fail & issued the pass certificate .

Back on topic, My Dad got stopped by the Police for having one reverse light out & he said that it's not part of the MOT & it had just passed. Their reaction was to tell him that that didn't matter, if it's fitted, it should be working. I bet Gupsterg could provide some useful info/diagrams if you contacted him Chadders.

No advantages mate not worth my pension

Well that's no good. There should be some perks to every job.

There is a blue and red wire on the side that's affected but not on the O/S

Well this morning I've removed the tailgate trim and the light cluster affected absolutely nothing to go on. At the point where the wiring to the light cluster enters the tailgate it's all intact nothing trapped cut or frayed all in place as if it had been put in yesterday the light cluster was clean and dry and fitted nice and snug the multipoint plug to bulb holder its self is clean and fits nice and tight all the wiring is in tact. The old bulb holder is identical to the new one as in there's no corrosion or broken solder etc.

Hey guys. Just wondering actually, those of you who have drilled holes in your light casing for the condensation issue, what kind of size holes are we talking here? Teeny Tiny, or fairly substantial? Anyone got any pictures lying around of the work they did, just to give an idea?

Cheers

Massive thread here A6 Rear light cluster ( 07)

I probably drilled about 7 or 8 holes per cluster using something like a 4mm drill bit - roughly. Just enough to create circulation.

Mark TM helped out today and scanned with VCDS showed a fault with the earth not connecting can't quite remember the exact wording now. Anyone have any idea where the wires might run from and where the earth might be
