Bit of a head-ache... cars up on pistonheads and the glowplug light is flashing... also the brake lights are not working... thus leading me to believe its a faulty brake light switch at fault???

also the cruise control aint kicking in (guessing this is brake light switch related) ??

also anyone got a guide for changing over the switch... price and possibly a part number

Sorry i couldn't find the info

ye its the brake pedal switch, common fault happened to my g/f 9n polo the other day repaced the switch and all was fine, was a few pence off £8

thanks very much guys... had a bit of a brown pants moment when the light came on :(

Buy two while you're at it, they don't last that long. I'm on my third switch in five and a half years.

I think these are same ones as the octavia

Had similar problems when I owned a Bora a while back - needed a new brake light switch on 2 occasions. VW stealer supplied & fitted it for £25.
