NCT Question!

BigProblem

have a 2010 golf and due the nct in a week. the indicator light on the wing mirror is broken on one side and not working but working on the other side. will I pass the nct with this broken or do I need to get this fixed?

it will fail had many of these in to replace indicator unit in mirror,even if you fail its a no charge retest just a visual recheck.

they are non changeable led light=new fixture needed.

It will fail, all must be working.

I would put it through the test before spending money for the whole unit. They might miss it.

Would never recommend this with a regular indicator, but the wing mirror ones are not necessary, just an additional feature, so no harm if you don't have it.

They missed a blown bulb for parking light recently, so they don't always pay attention to everything.

they miss a lot of things and fail on the stupid ones and can miss 1/4 play in merc balljoints:eek:

how much will a new fixture cost me?

ebay has them listed in around £12 but would need more info to identify your one.
think vw main dealer was deffo dearer.

even utube vids on how to change but removal of glass a must to get at torx screws that hold lamp into position.

But the wing mirror indictors replace the wing version so they must be there and working.
