Glovebox Light Leon Mk II....Anyone fitted one

[DJHotspur]

i don't think they realise that their customers exist sometimes, its like trying to get blood from a stone when getting info from them!

Where the switch to turn it on/off when opening the glove box?

 

[DJHotspur]

I'm not sure where the switch is, i will have a poke around and let you know.

logged a call with SEAT UK who say there is no such thing as a glovebox lamp. I requested that they email Spain so DJHotspur can have his lamp replaced
see what happens next . . . . .

I'm glad we've got David as our inside man on this, I can't imagine me getting anywhere with this if I turned up at my local parts dept saying I wanted a gloveobox light based on soemthing I've read on the internet!

Def good to have David.
My local dealer told me there were no black center caps, no alu kit and no armrest. Even had trouble yrs back with bonnet seal and dust caps i had to tell them they did exist!!

Stockport Seat told me the biggest engine in the Leon was 1.6. 2 Days later I test drove the 2.0T Sport at a different dealer. The so called "1.6" in the showroom at Stockport also turned out to be a 2.0T Sport!

Anyone speak German. Although looking at it it seems they are using Altea parts and it lists part numbers on the first page.

David do these part numbers copied from the link mean anything?

N 017 7532 (0,86€) Bulb
3B0 947 415 B (8,21€) Lamp holder
893 971 632 (1,85) ?
000 979 133 (1,55€) Switch
1J0 947 561 C (3,93€) ?
1H0 973 121 C (1,85€) ?
000 979 131 (1,55€) Other switch

I've had a poke around and without pulling the glovebox apart i don't think i'll be able to find where it is located, there is a blanking plate that looks like where a switch would be located but there is nothing there or behind it.

I checked this morning and mine has the light. It's a late 2008 model. I'll check to see if I can't find the switch.

Nice one, just need to confirm the P/n's for the plunger and the wiring harness and I'll get my order in.
