It would not surprise me to learn, that such components might be designated by VW, to be non-replaceable components, necessitating a complete instrument panel replacement! Let us hope that this worst-case scenario is inapplicable, but from what I have learned of modern VAG Group vehicles, I cannot be sure either way.

as a workaround If the wire from the charge light connecting to the alternater was connected to 12v would it charge?
