Hello,
About a month and a half ago, the dashboard started reporting to me that one of the 3 bulbs in the back left is not working.
I found that the light bulb itself was ok. As I click to open the trunk, the light comes back on. So literally the smallest possible "click" returns the contact.
After that, I closed and opened the trunk for several times - it worked. When driving, everything is fine, but it happens the next time after starting the car . It bothered me like that for a few days until I found what and how to disassemble.
Then I took out the bulbs holder, replaced the bulb, sprayed the contact spray, the holder itself, as well as the jack. A month and a half there was no problem.
Few days ago the same thing happened, this time while driving, I stopped, looked, the light bulb seemed to be working.
I turned off the car, turned it on, it worked, the warning disappeared. Same thing again yesterday, while driving I turned on the lights to check and the warning light came on. I came home, parked, got out, looked, the light bulb was working. So now it's a little different, it also happens while driving, but it seems to lose contact and come back immediately.
I went to some elderly electrician across the street, old school, I can see that he is too lasy to even to speak, not to work. I barely got him to take off the bulbs holder to look. He looked at the jack, said everything is ok. He sprayed the jack with WD, tampered a little with the place where the light bulb is inserted and said that everything looks ok there. I didn't drive long after that but right after that it worked until the i turned off the car which was literally 2 minutes after all that.
Anyway, has anyone had a similar problem?
I hear that the VW group has problems with the lights.
Thanx.
