Question: Should "Turbo" logo light up?
I had my 2007 Turbo out last night and noticed that the "Turbo" script logo on the tach was not illuminated. I rarely drive at night so don't know if this is correct or not. Thanks for any info on this<!-- google_ad_section_end --> <!-- / message -->

No it doesnt light up.
I always wandered if there was an option which would allow it to do so.

Daniel,
You are referring to the illuminated door entry guards.

The OP is talking about the turbo sign in the instrument dials.
That one is not illuminated.

Yes, you are right. I was referring to the wrong thing.

Turbo Logo
I also noticed this when I first acquired my tt. I actually called the dealer. The logo on the Tach is not illuminated.

I've been wondering about this since I bought my car - never had the presence of mind to bring it up while at the dealership.

Its been that long since i even noticed the logo. Funny how you become blind to certain things after a while but i never imagined it would ever be illuminated.

Edit 24 hours later. Yes i see what you mean. It would be a nice touch if the logo illuminated when the lights were turned on. But still.....its ok as it is.

Does PAG have a suggestion box??.
