Nice one Rhyso  :wink:

The part number i took into the dealers was 1J0 945 511 D but they said it had been superseded and IIRC they gave me revision "G". Said it was for a beetle/transporter on the little sticker but works fine.
Mk4 GTi-T AUM l R-Tech Stage 1 l AP Coilovers l Forge 007p l New Style RS4's 18" l Toyo Proxies 4 l Hofele Bumper Grills l Silver Interior Trim l N249 Bypass l Front & Rear Powerflex bushes l Forge TIP l CAI l GolfGTi.co.uk Stickers l Catch Can Fitted & PCV System Deleted l Redstuff Rear Pads l More to come...

So

Got the new brake light switch

The new part number has been changed and now starts 1C0 rather than 1J0(Mine is a 4 Pin BTW), The rest is the same as my original number, The unit itself is now dark green and a larger shape than the old switch. The plunger no longer requires manual setting! It is easy to fit, simply have the brake pedal at the normal height, Slot the switch into the bracket in the correct position (It will only fit one way properly) Twist it into place, Now, IMPORTANTLY, twist it a little furter and it will click, this activates the switch, if you do not do this it will not work!

So now all brake lights are ok. Great, Still, My Cruise control still maybe doesnt work. Can anyone tell me - is there a light on the dash showing the cruise control is on, do you need to be travelling over a certain speed to acivate it, Ive got up to 40mph in the snow but no faster, If it is not working still, maybe the clutch switch is also at fault?

My cruise control has stopped working, it was intermittent ever since my clutch pedal snapped lol.. I am thinking the clutch switch is dead... but what does that switch do? I would say my brake light switch is fine as all lights seem normal?
