Without going too much into the topic, how low is low? Is it "sh*t, get to the next service station" low, or "ah, will top that up when I get up home.." low?

I couldnt give you specific litres but defintely top up when you get home. My light came on coming down to devon, and i like to be fully empty before filling up as ive cross contaminated before and it caused streaking (this wont happen all the time but stay away from cheaper products) but try as i might i could not empty the bugger, it was still going strong after some severe washing 10miles later when we stopped at a services and I filled up.

Wildly off topic: You're down in Devon? Keep an eye out for a low flying very filthy white 3 door!

anyone know how to get the Mirrors to lower on reverse on models that don't already have that feature?

I believe this was covered earlier in the thread and it was concluded that there was an additional hardware requirement for this feature - as such can't just be enabled unfortunately as the mirror units are different.

Really? There is a vcds guide On briskoda for Octavia mk3 that shows how to enable it, surely it's the same for us?

if you don't have the correct door controllers then no matter how much you try the mirror lower won't work.

Investigations are in progress!
