Hi all,

Having trouble with a new boot release switch I've fitted, I've added an integrated camera. Since I've fitted it, I'm getting a TCS Error on starting in the morning. I fitted a new battery two months ago and this rectified the TCS error, it's back now though. Other posts suggest battery drain causes this problem which would make sense. Long story short, I've disconnected the new switch now but I'd like to replace the wiring plug that goes into the switch. Does anyone know where I would get one? Rectangular connector, two pins / wires.

Original part looks to be 1ZD827574

Thanks!

Stu

This is the part number for the tailgate switch - is that what you wanted? There are loads on aliexpress under part number 1Z0827574C.

If it's the connector you seek, first take a look at the parts diagram for a 2011 Mk2 Euro build Octy Combi tailgate (aka 'lid') HERE.

Then take a look at the page for the tailgate wiring harness HERE, where I believe you are looking for item #5 - 4B0972623 - which is available from LLL Parts for under 10 squid (see HERE) or aliexpress for less than a quid (HERE).

Other search candidates include fleabay, autodoc and skoda-parts.com (in Czech but have an excellent range).

Or, hop down to your nearest friendly local breakers and see if they have one to chop off :)

BTW it seems the plug is the same one as used for speaker connections, so that might make it an easier find locally. Have a look at the ali listing for more info.

Fantastic! Thanks for the response, it's the connector I need. Thanks for the links too.

Just hope this sorts it out, had no trouble for two months then added the camera/boot switch and bang, TCS error again.

I'll get on to those links now. Thanks again!
