was it a genuine vw one ?
if it bugs you that much put the old one back in  :smiley:
would the new one cause grief at MOT time though ?

Mine was replaced for the MOT, on the morning of MOT indicators startedvla suing double time. Turned out was relay. The MOT station had no issue with the new relay and dash light
