Reason I ask chaps is because i was stood at the Parts counter on Sat morning with the VW fella and he queried it via the reg plate of an R32. He knew what I wanted but the on screen image didn't seem to show the chrome section in which case it would just be he same as mine, so I'd rather check at over £40 a time knowing how unhelpful dealers can be  :wink:

I think it must be the illustrations on the desk system they use, they're not in colour and they look like something off of woody the woodpecker sometimes.

Thanks.



The drawings won't help as they are generic, and you are better off giving the reg of a Passat CC as they were all fitted with it after 2008


Oooo it looks like they do one without the front fog lights now  so I'll be able to upgrade as well  :happy2:

Switch off ignition and all electrical consumers.
Turn rotary grip of light switch to position off
Push in rotary grip of light switch -1- and turn it clockwise slightly -2-.
      
 Hold grip in this position and pull light switch out of dash panel using grip -3-.

yes the mark 5 one (well mine anyway) has a pic of a tunnel instead of the "auto" wording and all symbols illuminate red. I think it an improvement.

My standard one has the Auto word on it, but its all red lighting except the auto which is green when its turned the lights on
