rs200f40 0 Posted January 11, 2004 Hi, The heater controls weren't lightin up so I've taken them apart and removed the lamp. Does anyone know anywhere that can supply replacement bulbs, I doubt VW would sell the lamp on it's own. The lamp has a mounded yellow plastic housing and the supply terminals slot into it, the supply socket is then plugged into the supply terminals. The only markings on the lamp are ALBA. Thanks Alan.

Supercharged 2 Posted January 11, 2004 If they are the earlier 'slidy' mk2 controls then you need - 191 919 243D - bulb and holder, not sure if the later round ones use the same or not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rs200f40 0 Posted January 11, 2004 Thanks, wasn't expecting VW to supply just the bulb. Alan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rs200f40 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Went to the main stealer today and as expected they don't sell the lamps, they also told me a new facia costs about £30. Had a look at a Golf facia and it looks like it will have the same lamp but I don't think I can get it out without breaking the facia. Will have a look for an old one tomorrow to break open and let everyone know if it fits. Alan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted January 17, 2004 Try a different dealer, I think some of them just can't be bothered sometimes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rs200f40 0 Posted January 19, 2004 Forgot to take the part no. with me. Showed them the lamp and they went away with it, came back 10 minutes later said are you sure it's a VW part, it's lot listed anywhere and we've never even seen one before. Went to the car to show them where it came from and was told that they only sell a new facia for about £30. Will try again next weekend when I'm back. Alan.

rs200f40 0 Posted January 20, 2004 Think they've changed the part no., just fed it into ETKA and it says it's been replaced by 6K0 919 243, bulb holder with lamp - £4.40+vat Will find out for sure at the weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 20, 2004 6KO is just another model car, maybe they've run out of the other one, part should be identical to look at tho... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rs200f40 0 Posted January 31, 2004 Got the lamp today with part number 6K0 919 243 which replaced the old number, unfortunatelly it's not the part I need. The part with this number it the one on the left, the lamp I took out of the heater facia is the yellow one on the right. Have they given me the wrong part or is it for a different type of heater control, I have the early type in a 91 Corrado. Thanks Alan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
