The auto sensor... you mean the rain-light sensor? How did you figure out it was a bubbling issue? I’m worried that the electrical fault could be somewhere else in my car, it's hard to troubleshoot!

Yeah, the rain-light sensor. I found some info online that mentioned bubbles forming under the gel pad on the windshield. These malfunctioning sensor bubbles can mess with the readings. To be honest, I didn't fix mine. I took my car to a workshop. They replaced the whole sensor unit. I'd suggest doing the same, could be a headache to fix yourself.

I took my Skoda Roomster to the workshop. The malfunctioning sensor gel pad had bubbles, just like you said! A replacement rain-light sensor fixed it. Cost me 62€. Thanks for the help!

Whoa, that sounds like a pain! I had a similar problem with my Renault Megane, although it wasn't exactly the same. My wipers were going crazy even when it was bone dry outside, car electronics were totally messed up. Have you checked the auto sensor itself? I'm just wondering if the sensor is the issue and how to confirm that's the case. It's probably not the same car components, but it is worth a shot. I have no idea about speedo dimming though.
