Title: Aaarrrgghhhhh brake pedal switch failed
Post by: Ady TDI on 22 May 2011, 11:22

Just had the engine workshop flash up on dash with the flashing glow plug symbol, after googling turns out my brake pedal switch has failed, confirmed by the fact i have no brake lights, it's sunday and gsf and the stealers are closed, I need to use my car tonight so anyone know where i can get one ?

Thanks

doubt you'll get one on a sunday.
when mine went it worked intermittently for about 6 months before it failed completely. when it did I just used the rear fog lamps as my brake lights (got twin fog lamps)

Thanks Steve, mine failed altogether this morning, have unplugged it ready to get one in the morning  :smiley:

Good idea about using the fog lights, just a matter of remembering to turn them on as well as braking :laugh:
