Hello, It's got to the point where my 341k KM Skoda requires an alternator as this one is about to give it's last breath. I remember having a chat w/ someone a while ago telling me that the 2.0 TDI from the next generation alternator is a plug and play swap for the 1.9 TDI PD one. I didn't really manage to find anything on the internet about this swap and I thought I might be asking here as well. Ever done, or heard about this swap? Thanks, Benny

That's great info! Thanks for that - I'll update here when I have an update Thank you loads!!!

By "I swapped about 3 sensors" I meant that I replaced the brake switch with 3 different ones from different manufacturers including an OEM one, that's why I assume it's a wiring issue @J.R.

Sorry, forgot to mention that all brake lights are working, including the top one. It seems like the issue is w/ the digital side of things, not the analog bit.

Hello everyone I'm new around here and I'll use this post to introduce my turdbox! There's this Skoda Superb 04 plate 1.9 AWX w/ 336k km's on it that I've been daily driving for about a year now and I have to admit it's a great car - only the wiring on it has been massacred by the old owners and the car was a total of 48 errors on VCDS haha In the past year I fixed most of them but there's one that's stepping on my nerves like nothing else in this world. 16955 - Brake Switch (F) P0571 - 35-00 - Implausible Signal Symptoms - Check Engine light ON and the coil thing that usually refers to glow plugs blinking - but not on this car. I've swapped about 3 sensors, then I started checking if they are working. I haven't taken the whole dash out to check the wiring yet as I don't really have the nerves to do it, and If I do it I'll probably fudge it and make it squeak more that it already is. Funny side note is - the car has been left to a garage for a week and a half to get some parts changed, a custom exhaust and custom intercooler piping - and when I took it back the glow plug coil light was gone so I was really excited about that but then I thought the bulb died or something hit the fan - as it goes with VAG cars when lights go out - so I plugged VCDS in it and as soon as I pulled the codes out of the engine module, the coil light came back and is still blinking to this day. Anyone else encountered this? Managed to fix it? Know a magician that knows a trick? Thank you, Benny
