The is a screw that has to come out, its a pig to get to as it's basically between the steering column and the ignition barrel if you look at your new switch you'll see the hole, once that crew is out though it can just be pulled out and the new one slotted in!

Use the new switch to locate the screw, ie hold the switch the same way as the old one sits and try to locate the screw on the old one where the hole on the new one is... you will need quite a small screwdriver for this!

FINALLY did the little bastard !!!

 

the screw was a sod to find, because i actually have a passat steering coloum and the screw was hidden so i had to snap the old switch out to get to it

 

anyway the new switch is it and its all back together and im happy, for now :)

 

cheers all !
