Anyone come across buzzing from dashboard. As I've got the airbag out thought I'd see if I can sort it But can't locate the sound, where it's from? It only happens for a short while when ignition turned on and the buzzing stops after engine running for about 20 seconds. Sometimes it just comes back on again whilst driving

Have managed to sort it now Thanks

I'm changing blower/resistor on my Roomster and have to remove the airbag. I've undone the 3 screws securing the airbag but can't get the plastic top off covering the airbag. Have tried prizing the plastic up with screwdriver but it wont come up and dont want to damage it. Any ideas on how to best get this airbag and its cover off? Thanks

Hi Ken, I mean the steering wheel bolt that secures the steering wheel. I put put spline bolt because I notice that term being used before but maybe it's incorrect. Also from what I see online it looks like a torx screw/ bolt. But I didn't know the size of it which is why Is have to go and buy a socket to fit my wrench that will have that correct type to fit that torx type screw bolt securing the steering wheel. Hopefully that's a bit clearer. And thanks for link Wino

Before I take airbag unit off steering wheel would be good to know what socket size is needed for spline Bolt. Then I'll go and buy one. I saw online someone repairing a stalk switch so I might dismantle that and if repairable save a bit of money. Looks like it may come apart with screws holding it together, unless anyone knows other wise, please let me know. I tried spraying contact cleaner into crevice but to no avail. It's a Roomster 2012 TSI 105, guess spline bolts gonna be same on most models? Cheers John

I did check that but I've just double checked to make sure and yes fuse 36 all good.

Hi thanks. Dipped lamps are separate from high beam lamps, so not twin filament.

Does anyone know where,if, relay for main beam on Roomster 2012 TSI might be? I don't know if there are relays in this model or if it's done via SSE in computer. All lights work including flash high beam but main high beam doesn't work when stitched from dipped to high. So lamps are good and all else but for high beam. Wish I had a wiring circuit I could look at!!! If anyone one knows anything about wiring, relays etc that would be most helpful as that could be checked before expense of trying new stalk switch which I'll get garage to do. Any ideas much appreciated John

Hi, Have managed to remove cowling via screw but wondering how easy or difficult it is to swap old stalk switch with new/ second hand. Didn't need to take off steering wheel, and have access to switch on Roomster 2012. If it's not too tricky I might get used part breakers and swap myself but if it's not an easy job I'll get my local VW guys to do it. I'm electrically competent but more unsure of difficult of disassembly on the mechanical side. Also anyone recommend where to buy new part with reasonable price ? Thanks

sprayed some contact cleaner into switch but made no difference. To get plastic cover surrounding switches do I need to take off steering wheel? If I do need take of steering wheel is there any videos out there re roomster stalk switch replacement and removal of steering wheel? I've taken a steering wheel of an older car before but bit more cautious as it has an ait bag. Any links or help here would be great Thanks

Hi, ok, trying to find out how to remove the plastic cover where all the switched are?

Hi, Not failed due to headlamp main beam not working. The ordinary beam is working fine but when I come to use switch to main beam it doesn't work switched in continuous mode but it does work when I pull switch back towards me when I'm holding it in position. Wonder if it's just the switch or if it's some control box? I do have electric background so might have a go. Any ideas or help here appreciated
