Changing a fuse on a 6R

Post by Craigy »

Anyone had the pleasure of having to change a fuse on their 6R ?

What a fiasco. I opened up the box due to my screen washer not working and there was no diagram on the cover to say what fuse is what. So I then had a look in the owners manual and here is what it says

"Due to this model of car being under continuos development there is no fuse box diagram available "

WTF VW ?????

I had to sit for twenty mins in the freezing cold taking out every bloody fuse to find the right one. And guess what ? Yep the last one I checked. So if anyone's washer fuse blows its the 10a smaller one on the far right of top row :D

I spoke to vw uk about this. They say its a health and safety issue as to why it was not included

I then asked what happens if I need to find a blown fuse on a dark road and I accidentally pull the hazard light one in the process. They couldn't answer that

Sounds like a money making system for them as most people will go back to dealers
