Reply With QuoteI have a spare speedometer and had a better look at these lamps as shown below. The lamps are manufactured by OSRAM. I have seen just the lamps on their own at work. Maybe they pull out somehow out of the holders.

Photos quite handy!!!! I just ripped the dash out, was able to get to them fairly easily, as someone else mentioned, they just turn 90 degrees and pull out.
I can see how they would come loose very easily and become tempramental as other people have found....waiting for the VW daily parts delivery to come in now.
Im sure it will take me 3 times as long to put the dash back in....correctly that is

New globe fitted and works perfectly!!!Thanks everyone!
Speedo was working perfectly too (checked everything before i put the dash back in) but something must have popped out as the speedo isnt moving, rev counter is fine though...oh well...more dash pulling next weekend
Which plug am i looking at for the speedo, is it obvious? I didnt really look when i had it out...

It's not an electronic speedo. It works off the bowden cable.
