75 r90/6 FUSE VALUES?

Post by Rohls »

Hi,

So I've searched around with no avail; what are the fuse amp values for a typical airhead? Are they all 8A? I keep blowing the brake light/horn/turn signal one recently and the manual hasn't been very helpful in answering my questions...

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick :D

Kurt is correct...............as usual, except when he disagrees with Diane.

8A is what we VW folk know as the "white" fuse. Red in the same size is 16A, and blue is 25A.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Yes, they are white. It could be fun to remove a white one and use a red magic marker on the ceramic.

Does that double their capacity?

MS, no, one would have to wrap it in tin foil for that. It doesn't take much. A gum wrapper or cigarette package should supply enough.
