heater knob lights out

Post by sjpope78 »

Hi, when i put my lights on in my 6n2 polo 1.4 16v none of the heater dials lights come on any more, where is the fuse located so that i can check it, or is this a different problem??
has anyone else had this problem??

regards

The bulb has probably blown

Its behind the fan control knob - just pulls off

Youll need to very carefully remove the old bulb with long nose pliers or similar

New bulb is available from VW for a few pence
