Ricardo 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Hi Sorry for this jibber/jabber!!..just trying to figure out if my charge/battery warning light (not illuminating) or alternator or wiring is at fault! All the Instrument bulbs test out OK (except my side light warning bulb). (Gonna check the multiplugs next)...anyway.... Thought I might as well get some spare bulbs whilst clocks are out, so had a look at the printing on them, only to find 12v 1,2n on some. Others are 3w I've looked all over and have seen different wattage quoted. Am I right in thinking the illuminating bulbs are 3w and the warning ones are 1.2w? Looking at Service Box for the 6 instrument panel (1.6GTi) it shows as below.. Item 8 is 12v 3w and goes in Item 2 Lamp sleeve 2w/3w (either 2w or 3w?) for illumination? Item 9 is 12v-w1,2w goes in Item 3 Warning light (sleeve) is this 1.2w? 1w? or 2w? Or does it really matter? Didn't notice but are the sleeves different sizes? Just want the right one for the Battery/Charge warning light. Cheers for any help. Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Might have answered my own question here After an hour trying to read the print. But not sure why some bulbs are there! (Traction control? bottom left on pic)(ABS? top right) No Oil temp warning tho and doesn't look as if one has ever been fitter (no pcb scratches!) Anyway All are either marked 1,2W or 1,2n so figure all are part no. 6216C6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 400 1 Cars Posted January 20, 2009 yeah there are some unused bulbs there, probably left as spares . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray-Vonn 0 Posted January 23, 2009 yeah there are some unused bulbs there, probably left as spares . I think some of them are for things like the glow plug symbol (for a diesel) and other equipment that may be fitted to different markets, etc. You know what the manufacturers are like, they try to share as many basic components through the model/variant ranges.

Rom 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Theres a Glowplug light, Pad warning light, ABS light ?, Knock Sensor ? Or some other ECU light, has a jagged sort of explosion round it Been a while since i looked. Just shine a torch with bulbs removed and all shall be revealed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 400 1 Cars Posted January 24, 2009 ^ the last one is actually used in a GTI - it's the low pad warning light . but diesels don't use GTI-style dash with rev-counter (or perhaps STDT's do?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
