• if fitted
• Insert new fuse of same capacity so that
the metal strip is visible, but do not grip
the metal strip or bend the retaining clips.
The fuse must fit tightly between the clips.
Note:
• A blown fuse can be recognized by the
break in the metal strip.
• If the newly inserted fuse blows again af ­
ter a short time, the electrical system
must be checked by a VAG workshop to
find the cause of the short circuit and re ­
ctify it.
• On no account should fuses be patched
up because this can cause serious dam­
age elsewhere in the electrical system.
• Always carry a few spare fuses on the
vehicle.
Relays
Relays for various electrical components are
located above the fuse box.
Checking and replacing relays should be
q~ne by a VAG workshop.
