Brakes and Cigarette Lighter

[VAG1]

The two having nothing to do with each other, lol.

1) The brakes seem to need more travel to stop, it couldn't be a change in brake discs because the discs and the pads were changed 3-4k miles ago. The brake fluid was changed by VW a 1000 miles ago. Its worrying because the brakes may not be as strong now.

2) Now the cigarette lighter, i dont smoke by the way and dont need it for this purpose, but no plugs work in it, its definitely the socket itself because these aplliances work in other cars. What could be the problem?

Thanks

2) Check the fuse

where is the fusebox? and how do i know which one it is?

Usually found on the outside ends of the centre console/dashboard. Open the drivers and passengers doors and there should be a flap you can pop open with a flat screwdriver. This should be in the handbook??

ive looked at the fusebox in under the bonnet, and the one on the passenger side. it all looks too complicated for me, i'll leave it to VW. lol.
