Background

The lamp cover for the floor lighting on the driver's side is missing on certain cars. This can result in the bulb coming into contact with adjacently fitted sound insulation, which in some cases may cause smoke or fire.

Parts required

45 19 054 Lamp cover

For fitting the modification identity plate

12 785 148 Modification identity plate

16-30 15 815 Cleaner, Teroson FL T875, sufficient for 50-100 cars

Procedure

Before proceeding, check box A2 of the modification identity plate. From and including M04, and for certain markets, there is the table "Table of Modifications" in the car's Warranty and Service Book. A modification identity plate must be fitted in accordance with the section "Fitting the modification identity plate" where local directives require the marking of the car. If the box is not marked, continue as follows.


1. Check whether the lamp cover is fitted by feeling or visually inspecting whether the lamp cover clips can be touched or seen in the sound insulation panel hole. If the lamp cover is fitted then no further action is necessary.

If the lamp cover is not fitted, continue with step 2.


2. Remove the screw that secures the sound insulation panel.


3. Carefully bend the sound insulation panel down and fit the lamp cover on the rear of the sound insulation panel. Make sure that all of the clips engage their correct positions and that there is no insulation between the bulb and the lamp cover.


4. Press back the sound insulation panel and fit the screw.


Marking the modification identity plate

On completion of the necessary procedures, box A2 on the modification identity plate must be marked. From and including M04, and for certain markets, there is the table "Table of Modifications" in the car's Warranty and Service Book. Mark the box with the number "7" if the procedure was carried out by the importer or with the number "8" if carried out by the dealer.
