 Citroen C5 II - Main dealer - you're 'aving a larf... - Dieselboy
C5 was in the dealer earlier for a warranty repair. I knew the NS foglight was out so asked them to change it, forgetting it wouldn't be at an 'indy' rate. They quoted near on £30 as it was a 'bumper off' job!! Forget it, I said - I'll do it myself.

So, £5.86 for a bulb. Looked in my manual, unscrewed two torx screws, pulled the light unit out. Noted connector was not on end of fog light bulb. Connected aforementioned connector and reassembled. Hey presto! I now have a spare bulb for when one does go....

I wonder if you had let the dealer do it whether they'd have let you know that was the problem, and done it under warranty as well ;-)

...They quoted near on £30...

How much labour would that buy - 15 or 20 minutes?

It takes that long to fill out the job card and get the bulb from stores.

Doesn't sound too bad to me.

VW dont charge any labour for changing a bulb if its in for a service - just the cost of the bulb
