matt buz 0 Posted December 22, 2003 hey Quite urgent this. My headlight switch has gone wrong. I can still use it but the side lights,only, come on and I have to drive around with my fog lights on. Is it repairable? Need a new one urgently if not. If anyone out there has got one or knows where I can get one it would be a great help. Have tried GErman Swedish and they dont have em. I have a 94 L 2.0l 16v C if that makes a difference. Cheers all Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted December 22, 2003 I bought one from GPC in Luton (01582728892). About 50 quid inc p&p. Pricey, but cheaper than the Stealers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted December 22, 2003 worth taking to bits and having a look (useful to have a little multimeter handy), passat and polo switches are similar but have the dash light dimming part above instead of to the left. If you can't fix the old C switch by popping moving bits back into place, then you might be able to repair it with bits from the passat switch (should be loads of these at scrapyards) David. hey Quite urgent this.

G60JAY 0 Posted December 22, 2003 My switch was doing the same so i took it apart and found a small peice of plastic had broken off and was jamming the switch so it would not switch on to main beam.When i assembled it again worked fine. Could be worth a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted December 23, 2003 GPC charge £32.50 + VAT + P+P, which works out at around £40. Which is still daylight robbery, for a SAFETY component!! But less than the stealer price.. Of course, if the damn thing was designed properly, and made using decent heavyweight materials it would last a bit longer than all the other stupid design "features" that we are all coming to know and love about Corrados.

matt buz 0 Posted December 23, 2003 cheers chaps got a few avenues to go down here. Firstly will open it up and take a look and see if there is anything obvious. After that it looks like I will have to pay through the nose for a bloody switch but it does mean I will be able to see at night. how difficult is it to take the switch out. Is it a case of pullinf hard or do I have to take the surround off. Cheers matt Buz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
