Reverse Light Switch
« on: 24 July 2007, 10:29 »
Hi, I have a Mk3 Golf 1.4 and I think the reverse light switch has gone. Anyone know where it is located?!
Cheers in advance!

i have a gti, don't know wether its the same, but if you look down into the engine bay from th top - on top of the gearbox, there are two nuts, about 10cm apart, its the one closest to the windscreen.

Should be, wouldn't imagine it would cost a great deal. Saying that i went through two at scrappy, till i found one that worked!

Well i went to the 2 local motor parts companies and one doesnt stock electrical parts, and the other wants £20+vat and 2 days wait for them to order it! So i thought £3 at the scrappy would be better!
