I guess you wouldn't happen to know the part numbers for the 
replacements?  The dealer I went to was clueless.  They had a 2 piece 
replacement for another similar bulb in another model, but couldn't 
come up with the one for the Scirocco.  They were on the right track, 
but came up a bit short.  Their micro-fiche had no replacement listed 
at all.  I have a few other parts on order and if I could call them with 
the part numbers they could add that to the order before they call 
in the parts order on Wednesday.  This is a bit much to ask, but I 
figured I'd give it a shot :)  Maybe the smart thing to do is try other 
dealers until I find one that knows about the replacement.


I can't seem to win with the VW dealers here.  The one that did the 
recall work didn't do FI pressure purge.  The one that can't find the 
replacement for the bulb will do the pressure purge for $99 US, more 
than others here have paid.  Why can't I find one good dealer?  Oh 
well, so far I'd say the hassle is worth it, the car's great anyway !
Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone!
Since I finally got my Bentley manual maybe I can return the favors 
and be of some assistance to others now.
