Yes I agree up to a point , I do get people who try and do their own repair but if the roof was in warranty and was fitted by us and they break something then that is not covered under warranty and we would charge for it . I suppose some people would want to replace a fuse I know I certainly would do the job but naturally if the same value fuse blew again then if it was under warranty I would expect the dealer to sort it out . But if its out of warranty I would do my best to find the problem myself , I am a bit of a fix it myself sort of guy . The people in my industry I hate the most are those who ring me up and say they have sealed the roof closed because it was leaking and they seal it with silicone and then they want me to fix it . Most times a simple clearing of the drain tubes will fix the problem but when they use silicone I have to politely tell them its virtually all over as silicone cannot be removed with causing massive damage to the paint and seals . So your example is very valid .

So... They trust you to change a wheel ( sure they do, they even hide a jack in there somewhere) but don't trust you to change a fuse !What a load of crap VW feed us. They(VW) know how to build a car, but have no idea about customer service. And 120 fuses.... sheeeeesh

anyone know if there is a MAIN Fuse on a t5? ie. Its totally dead, I got no clock even and the batt is charged.

Could you be a little more specific when you say no clock ? a lot of the fuses share their circuits with other functions . You could also check this page a lovely forum member was good enough to put a full list up http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...tml#post482586

Thank you, had just used this thread to replace two of the blue 15A fuses under passenger seat to get lighter and back seat auxiliary working again

One of the problems with Cigarette lighter sockets is that there are so many different designs plugs and just pushing one in can cause a short , reminds me of a car I diagnosed a non working sunroof on . Turned out the factory fitted sunroof shared the same power as a cigarette socket was on , the outlet was inside the centre console and because the owner had dropped some loose change in the console a five cent piece had found its way into the outlet shorting the circuit . What was at first perplexing was I would change the fuse and it would be okay sometime over the next day or so it would blow again , turned out the five cent coin would fall flat and the fuse would be fine if he took off fast the coin would stand up inside the outlet shorting it out took three visits before we found the problem .
