Brake Light Switch

[Jockeyblade]

My EPS light and Glow Plug Lights have been coming on and have traced it to a possible faulty brake light switch, as the brake lights are also not working. Have bought a new switch, can anyone give me some advice on fitting the switch please.

Cheers

Read this link (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=184498&postcount=9) Useful VAG-COM info troubleshooting, plus there are links at the bottom which will help you with replacing the switch.

Thanks for the info. When I removed the switch I found it was different to the replacement that I had, so I refitted the old switch and everything was ok. Maybe it was just sticking or something.

Nope, it's a known fault and was an upgraded part, lucky yours lasted that long. Original was black unit, but upgraded brake switch is green and bit bigger.
