Default 2002 Passat Left rear turn signal keeps going out.

We have a 2002 Passat wagon and it's left rear turn signal works - then
doesn't - then does. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the bulb
for free, but heck I don't want to keep taking it up there. Is there
something I can look into?

Thanks.

I've had a similar problem off and on with my wife's '03 Passat wagon.
It's the contacts on the connector/cap that holds the bulb in place.
If I remove the bulb, clean the contacts with some emery paper and
replace, all is well again. It only happens on the left side, never
on the right/passenger side. The fix usually lasts for several months
(can't even remember the last time I had to do it) so it's not that big
a deal.
