I have this same thing in my '84 Westy and was wondering what the heck it
was too. It almost looks like it was a switch for something.
Peace out,

'84 Westy

Subject: What is that darn silver thing on my Westy diesel dash???????

Hi all,
 82 Westy diesel has a silver thing to the left of the heater controls about
the size of a dime.
Looks like a light bulb socket. It is not the coldstart knob,that is 1 inch
down and to the right.
I put a test light up to it and it is hot....12v with the ignition off. I
initially thought it was a dealer
installed indicator for water in the full. My other diesel vanagon (van-not
Westy) did not have
the similiar thingy. However I looked a another Diesel Westy for sale and it
had the same darn
silver thingy.
HELP ME
