D8 little trip comp

Post by Ares »

Just a quick question mates:

It seems that lightning of that little trip comp is gone.
When i adjust the dash light,everything seems to work except trip comp,it stays dark,well,you can see mileage if you really look carefully.
Didnt had the time yet to open so i asked just to know what i should expect,is it a small bulb gone dead or?

You mean the trip meter/odometer on the instrument panel?

It'll be the bulb gone, it's a 509T twist lock type thing. I got about 10 from my LMF for about £3. Here's a pic of the back of the panel so you know what to expect:

They'll probably be 3 pounds each here :roll:

Btw I like the word dijelovi ("parts") because in English it could be spelt D.L.O.V. and it's something I always say when I see another 406 on the road here :twisted: [/sad bastard]
