    Problem replacing badge on Golf MK5

    The bottom edge of the hole looks broken.. that may be stopping it securing into place? You could try using glue to fix the grille first. then when dry, try fitting the badge.

    Electrical Fault?

    I didnt witness the event.. I was told that the energy saving bulb went with a bang and something flew out the light fitting. The fuse forthe lighting circuit also went. Should the light fitting be investigated further or do these things blow like that?

    Spare wheel ?

    Spare wheel ?
