Hi

I have passed details 'The genuine VW number for the switch is 7L6 945 511' on to my niece she's going to order one from a local VW garage where she lives.

What will the correct fitment procedure be?

[Crasher]

The correct procedure for this version of switch is pedal up in the rest position.

Hi Crasher - Happy New Year to you and all

With the pedal in the up position, should the protruding rod on the switch be pulled all the way out before fitting?

So as the switch is fitted in to position the rod is pushed back in?


Thanks

Definitely don't pull out the rod. Fit like Crasher said pedal up in rest position turn to the right until you hear a small click this activates the switch in the correct position and thus allows continuity through the switch. You only get one chance at fitting this switch correctly so absolutely don't mess with the rod.

Yep, don't fiddle with it, just twist to fit. Even then having done hundreds and only using genuine I still get the odd one that fails instantly.

Brilliant thanks all

My niece as got the switch from VW and is coming up to see me next weekend, so I guess that's her way of asking me to fit it
