Thanks very much, very helpful will save me stripping the door.

 

Sorry Hoggy, I must be having a bad night I have 030374 as the last 6 numbers?

Hi, If you VIN ends with 030374

030374 is greater than 018 001 so must be 018 001 >> version.

Thanks, makes sense now. Part from Carpartsdirect.com should fit OK, lets see if anyone else has bought one before I go ahead.

 

Just saying, micro switch isn't that scarey! I'm an idiot an managed it!

I've ordered these to cure micro switch problem. Hope it's not too complicated to fit.

Keep us posted on how you get on KTB, could be a cheap fix for a common problem.

all you need to know and £7 per door if I remember?

 

Not been in the door yet and looked, is there one micro switch that drops the window and signals on the pod?
As mine doesn't do either. If I can get away with just changing it I will.
More than handy with a screw driver just didn't want to bodge it. The part I was looking at the company don't feel me with any faith that it fits as they seem to think the TT has a slightly different part number when it doesn't.

Hi, This is the switch that wears/fails & signals that the door is open/closed & raises/lowers window when opening/closing door.

yep one switch does all lol
saves you dough too!
from memory you will need......
a small pokey stick (i used a small allen key) to release the cover
an allen key to release the bolt for the door card
an appropriate spline / star bit to get the lock out (although some have reported success using a similar but incorrect torx bit!)
wire cutters / crimps
something to armour the switch (folded and hammered curry takeaway ali foil worked for me!)

 

Thanks again all, that's the switch ordered from BMACVAGS, hopefully a dry day to fit it.
