I have had an odd fault in my 220, 000 mile Mk1 Superb. The indicators stop working, sometimes OK sometimes not. Oddly the hazards are always OK. I suppose one suspect would be the relay or the flasher unit. Anyone had flasher problems?

Probably build up of crud in the indicator switch contacts, maybe try some electrical contact cleaner, google the issue with the Passat B5.5 you might get some more hits.

Thanks, I will try some switch cleaner and if that does not work check out the indicator relay. Looking further on this forum the bypass relay may be an issue too. Perhaps I should buy a new car :-).

I read a few years ago that the hazard warning switch could also cause intermittent problems.

I had this on mine - sprayed some contact cleaner down the  indicator stork which fixed it
