Chip - I think I speak for most when I say we realise that for it to take an hour and cost £70 then the bulb is obviously in a stupidly awkward place - also outlined by the report of taking the rear wheel off and removing the arch liner....

I think the point is that why in the hell is it designed like that? Surely, for VAG of all people, it couldn't have been THAT hard to intergrate a pop off cover somewhere easy to get to to change a simple bulb? If it's this hard to change a bulb on one of these, god help us if a fuse blows!
