wiper blade moves quietly over the window. If the graphite coating is damaged, the wiper will make
a louder noise when wiping over the window.
Check the condition of the wiper blades on a regular basis. Rubbing wiper blades should be replaced
if damaged or cleaned if dirty ⇒ .

Changing bulbs
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Checklist  
⇒ Changing bulbs in the front headlights (halogen bulbs) 
⇒ Changing the bulbs in the headlights (lights with LED technology) 
⇒ Changing the front turn signal bulbs 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the front bumper 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the tail light clusters (LED lights) 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the number plate light (LED lights) 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
Changing the vehicle bulbs requires a certain amount of technical skill. Volkswagen therefore
recommends having bulbs replaced by a qualified workshop if you are uncertain. The work must be
performed by an expert if other vehicle parts around the affected bulbs need to be removed.
Volkswagen recommends having bulbs replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in
the vehicle at all times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen dealerships. In some countries it
is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
It may be illegal to drive with defective lights of the exterior lighting.
Information on indicator and warning lamps can be found in the troubleshooting section at the end
of the chapter ⇒ Troubleshooting .
LED lights on the vehicle
The exterior lighting may feature LEDs: Owners cannot replace the LEDs themselves. If some LEDs
fail, this may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. In this case, have the
lights checked and replaced if necessary at a qualified workshop.
