Passat Estate - Rear Bulbs- - Glaikit Wee Scunner {P}
Just before holidays I noticed NS stop light filament had gone on my Passat (2002 Model).

Easy to get at the bulbs unlike front ones. Remove side cover in boot - undo indicator bulb holder, 1/4 turn twist- carefuly move the two retaining tags and then the whole bulb holder assembly comes away. Assembly is the reverse.

The bulb is 21W/4W and has the assymetric pins - so took me a while to find a garage selling them.

BUT the bulb next to the stop/tail one is identical and is wired up to use ONLY the tail bulb filament. Weird.
So I could have simply swapped the bulbs around and been OK.

The saloon may be the same.
