Seconded - brake light switch - common failure

[LWilko89]

Yeah both break lights are out,

And is the second one the one on the peddle thanks for the help lads

Check fuse 2 in the cabin fusebox, just 'cos fuses are cheaper than brake pedal switches.  Never heard of anyone having this fuse blown though.

I knew it was in the Mk I section when I saw 'break lights'.

Fuse seems fine,how common is this fault

The brake light switch failure? Almost everyone's at least heard of it, although it's usually associated with a flashing glowplug light.

I'll get it changed asap is it the switch that's attached to the break peddle it's self

[Breezy_Pete]

Yep.

[LWilko89]

Cheers I'll get this sorted today

Check the guide on here for fitting it also, they can be fiddly.

[LWilko89]

Thanks I'll have a look at it now

Just a reminder, if you are buying the latest version of this switch, and I think that you should buy new and from VAG as this is a known weak part, then fit as per posting #7 on the guide. That means, fit with pedal fully up, ie in its normal position - and make sure that you feel the switch click when you rotate it in position.
