Snoopy Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Doesn't look toooooo bad - single 12v bulb. I'll give it a two Snoopy difficulty rating border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Next, you need to remove the switches below the heater unit (rear window heater, electric mirror controls, and any optional equipment switches). These can be unclipped with a flat screwdriver (wrap something around it to prevent damage to the trim). border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Then you need to remove the heater control trim (the black plastic surrounding the knobs, basically). This can be unclipped using a flat screwdriver where the arrows indicate (again, wrap something around it!) border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Finally, remove the fan speed knob (the central smaller one, number 6 in the diagram below) by simply pulling it off (it's pretty tight), and down the shaft you'll find the bulb (number 5 in the diagram below). border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />It's a simple `push-fit`, but not very easy to get to - VW recommend using something like fuel hose to insert into the hole and pull it out.Good luck!

Snoopy Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Think it's just a 12V, 1.2W wedge type (W5W). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yeah, it is. Official VW part number (if you really want a VW official bulb style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />) appears to be N 017 751 2 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcl Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Absolute *, £1 + VAT from my local stealers and what's more is that they have one in stock! this has been bugging me for years (literally) and I have only bothered to strip the console back yesterday at lunch time!
