Hi all this is totally new for me but I would,be grateful for advice.
1. How can I get hold of a manual for my left hand drive westy in English as I can't work out how to operate the heating system.
2. When I bought it 4 years ago I was told the fridge had never worked there is also no icon comes up on the control panel . Please could someone help and any information would be appreciated.
Bogie.

Still no info on how the heating system works; should the panel with the digital time light up as I can't see anything!!
Kindly yours Bogie.

Kindly yours Bogie.

Yes that's what I have more or less

 

[TripleBee]

Ok, now I see.
Isn't there a way to get that panel out of the dashboard?
there might be a blown bulb behind the display, for the backlight?
Or if you have a part number, you might try to search this part?

Hi tripplebee its bogey again , ihave taken out the old timer display and the bulb is fine and there is power there so it must mean the part is faulty but now I have the part number where do you think I could get one from

A quick search on Google for the part number 701963343 (A) gives me this:
12V/30min.

Maybe, if you open the unit (be careful not to break anything), it could be possible to repair?
I don't know as I don't have a T4.
Does the unit still work, so it's just the screen, or is the unit completely broken?

Yes it still works and yes it's just the screen!

 

[TripleBee]

It looks like you will need the one with the suffix A.
The one without suffix is different.

 

[TripleBee]

Maybe if you can pry it open, you might see a bad soldering?
Are you able to pry it open without damaging anything?
Or you can wait after you order another one?

 

[sidepod]

That may well be the problem. I’ve repaired the other of the two panels before due to dry solder.

I have the full VW workshop manuals for these. I’ll have a look later.
