Fuses - MK6 TSI Comfortline

[YegsTC]

Hi guys,

Please could you help me.

My gf has a 2013 Mk6 TSI Comfortline and the headlight warning light/ "Check lights" meassge comes up every now and then. When I check, the fuse has burnt.
When this started, there were 20amp fuses in there. Changed them and all was fine for a while. I have also changed the globes.

Last week, it happened again and she took it to an auto electrician and he put in 2 10amp fuses. Yesterday I drove the car and saw that the indicators are now not working and one of the 10 amp fuses are burnt.

I searched online and found the following in regards to the correct fuse ratings.



What I need to know is, what are the correct fuse sizes to use on this car.

TIA

Does the fuse melt or is a clean pop. 20 amp is plenty so either there is a short in there or the incorrect wattage globes.
If the fuses are melted it means a bad contact somewhere so have a good look at the connectors to the globe.
for a 55 watt globe you only use 2.61 amp at 12 v. it is even lower at 13.8 v which most cars run when the engine is running.

here use this calculator in future

Have you checked the owners manual?

Have you checked the owners manual?

Hopefully they are better than before, VW/Audi owners manuals were notorious for being completely wrong when it came to fuse layout.

Hi guys,

Used the above fuses. Seems to have rectified.

The 10 amp was a clean pop. Using H7 Hella bulbs.
