VW Touraeg Torch

howlinmad · 06-03-2007, 16:30

Does anyone know if the torch in the VW touraeg cigarette lighter slot will recharge in a Fabia cigarette lighter slot (torch part number 1M1 959 561 56J )

Yes .

You can see the Touareg Torch (just) beside the handbrake in SWMBO's Fabia Estate HERE.

Fantastic little torches, very bright, wouldn't be without one !

Interesting, a cigrette lighter torch, Is it one of these with rechargable batteries in it ?????????????

Nahh, it's a proper re-chargeable genuine VW torch as fitted in the VW Touareg.

Awesome sell them ...

mluton · 06-03-2007, 17:26

just had a look at the awesome site, cant find it.

Can someone post a link to the page its on, cheers.

Just be careful in the Fabia, as the 12v socket is always live. This can damage the internal battery of the Touraeg Torch if it's left charging indefinately (I had to replace my first one because of this)... Therefore, I never leave mine plugged in for long periods.

Edit, you can get them from any VW Dealer or VAG-Parts if you can't find them on Awesome's site (plus they might be cheaper

)

Works out at £22.78 inc VAT and delivery from VAG Parts.
Nice idea but think I'll giv it a miss at that price.

You could get three Maglites of different sizes for that much!

Fair point, but I've never had any problem at all with the two we have (one in my Golf) in over three years both (the VW is always live also) running in permanently live sockets.

Never paid more than £10 for mine, both BNIB off ebay.

Hint: If you want one, keep checking Ebay USA although THIS guy doesn't seem to ship worldwide some do.

just a quick question about this unit - are they vw branded?

yaktrebor · 12-03-2007, 22:57

I found one in my daughters pocket once.!

I was just after looking around the VW stand at a country show.

I made her take it back and say sorry to the greasy man in a suit, with muddy feet.!

They are very bright though, considering how small they are.

bengie · 13-03-2007, 00:05

i paid under £30 for my 6 D cell maglight with 2 extra bulbs delivered. i think mines brighter thanks

RobClubley · 13-03-2007, 00:20

I think the Touareg torch is ace. I keep mine in the power socket in the boot of my Octy

oliverreed · 13-03-2007, 23:03

Can anybody tell me if this item has a VW logo on it to brand the item - don't want it looking out of place.

Many thanks

No logos on it at all - just a black casing.

I'm sure there's something missing in that picture, but I just can't work out what it is!
