How to change the daylight bulbs of the Volkswagen T5 Transporter

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Light bulb

In this video, we see how to change the daytime running light bulb in a Volkswagen Transporter T5. Accessing the bulbs is very simple, as we have plenty of space inside the front hood. The headlight, inside, is covered by a large black rubber cap: simply remove it to reach the bulbs. There are two: the upper one is for the turn signal, while the lower one is for the daytime running light. We will twist the bulb holder counterclockwise, while pressing it slightly. Change the bulb, remembering not to touch the new one with bare hands: this will increase its lifespan. Put it back in place by twisting it clockwise and pressing it lightly. We can put the rubber cap back on. Operation completed.

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
