Fuse Blocks on VWs are always read from left to right when looking at the
fuses.  Thus #1 starts at the left, closest to the front door.

Fuse 1 - 8 amp -Taillight Left, Frt Parking Light, Left, Rear Sidemarker
Light Left
Fuse 2 - 8 Amp - Taillight Right, Frt Parking Light Right, Rear Sidemarker
Light Right, License Lights
Fuse 3 - 8 Amp - Low Beam Left
Fuse 4 - 8 Amp - Low Beam Right
Fuse 5 - 8 Amp - High Beam Left & Dash Indicator Light
Fuse 6 - 8 Amp - High Beam Right
Fuse 7 - 16 Amp - Radiator Fan
Fuse 8 - 8 Amp - Interior Lights, Cig Lighter, Stop Lights
Fuse 9 - 16 Amp - Hazard Lights, Radio
Fuse 10 - 16 Amp - Wiper/Washer, Heat/Ventilation Fan Blower
Fuse 11 - 8 Amp - Turn Signals
Fuse 12 - Horn, Backup (Reverse) Lights

Additional Fuses (if equipped) - In separate fuseholders located at the
right side of the main fuse block (from left to right):
Fuse 1 - 8 Amp - Rear Window Defroster
Fuse 2 - 8 Amp - Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Fuse 3 - 16 Amp - Auxilary (Eberspacher) Heater
Fuse 4 - 8 Amp - Overheating Switch for Aux Heater

The Air Conditioning Fuse Holders are located just to the left of the
Steering Column (there are two) that have a 20 and a 25 amp fuse (Manual
doesn't say which are which (I removed mine a long time ago because the AC
was worthless and not worth the effort to repair).

8 amp fuses are white, 16 amp fuses are red.  If using the original ceramic
fuses, use ones that are brass not aluminum.  Aluminum tends to corrode,
even under the best condition.
