After 14 years, the light in the shifter on my '90 GLI finally burned out....Volkswagen wants $50 for the bulb, and I can't fathom spending that for a dinky little light...so, does anybody have a working light that they would be willing to part with?
When everything else in the car functions as it should, it annoys me when something doesn't work as it should...and I'm not complaining that the bulb only lasted 14 years....
My parent's bought my Jetta new in 1990 at Queensway Volkswagen in Toronto, Ontario....It is a Canadian Spec, Jetta GLI (which in itself is odd, b/c at the time the GTX was also being marketed...) anyway, I checked the VIN when I worked at VW and it confirmed that it wasn't a rebadged GL....The odd thing is that it is a 1.8L Digifant engine....go figure...
I called a fellow who worked at the Port of Brunswick, where the car was shipped to, and he checked port documents....this car was 1 of about 50 sent to Canada as Wolfsburg built, Jetta GLIs with Digifant Engines. Mine is a Wolfsburg Edition as well, so it has power windows, power locks, MFI, and a Ski Sack, as well as the time delay dome light.
