arosaSDI Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 its a bulb behind the speed control dial, pull the control nob towards you and you'll see the offending bulb, get a length of vacuum hose push over the bulb and it will pop out of its holder. Don't be tempted to use long nose pliers as you'll break the glass. its a 286 5mm capless bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've had my GTI for 7 years and the bulb has never worked. I have a bulb, but just never seem to find the time...Use a small piece of tube to remove\refit the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
