vwfil 0 Posted July 29, 2016 Hi all. returning member after the Mrs bought me a new project C for my 30th birthday after having not owned one for 8 years. My rear spoiler is stuck up it will manually lower and I've traced the problem to one of the micro switches in the mech. Can anyone point me to a website where I can order a replacement switch as the originals have no details on them and I'm assuming will now be obsolete and replaced with a newer alternative? Thanks Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted July 29, 2016 It may be easier to locate a used mech to obtain the part required mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwfil 0 Posted July 29, 2016 No worries mate gonna try taking it into maplins. If they don't have the exact size I'll try n get something slightly smaller and plastic weld the mounts in the mech to make it fit don't wanna buy a full mech for the sake of a £1 switch if I can help it.

Bengould 10 Posted August 4, 2016 I bought 2 switches from maplin, the closest they sell are slightly shorter in length but I put a small strip of steel between the switch and the housing and it kept everything solid and now works as intended. The steel is maybe a bit overkill, anything about 1mm thickness that you can cut into a small square about the size of the end profile of the 2 switches when sat next to each other would be fine.

vwfil 0 Posted August 5, 2016 Don't suppose you still have the part number for them do you Ben? Save me stripping the old one out to compare sizes in the shop. Cheers Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vwfil 0 Posted August 9, 2016 Maplin SPDT miniature microswitch Code: N95AQ This microswitch is a direct replacement tried and tested by me today. It's about .5 mm smaller all round but still fits snuggly into the spoiler mech and works perfect for future reference ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gti_Jamo 10 Posted August 10, 2016 I went into my local Maplins a couple of month ago, microswitch in hand, and they couldn't supply me with anything. And couldn't find anything else with the correct ratings. I'll order some off the Maplins website though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
