Title: Passat/R32 Auto Chrome Light Switches
Post by: rdfcpete on January 17, 2010, 02:09:06 pm
Guys,

Other than oempl.us, is there another reliable OEM source for these, ebay.xx excluded? Preferably UK would be ideal please.

For some reason I was going to be charged $108.00 carriage from the States for an item smaller than my black VW front badge, which was only $15.00 or so P&P I think?

Thanks,
Pete.

Won't they be about £400?

I haven't though admittedly Ollie. I'll need to note down the reg plate of an R32/Passat otherwise Parts won't know WTF I'm on about.

I only assumed that because the heated mirror logo is placed more to the left compared to my logo that's right in front of the knob, that there would be a hidden logo behind the knob for the folding function:

The 5K4959857XSK p/n for the drivers door window swtches are for the 5 dr model. I know you can disassemble the switch to fit the 3 dr but surely the correct 3 dr version must be cheaper. Anyone got a P/N?

They don't 2 door a Passat version, but the Golf VI version of the switches are the same

For info they don't door a fuel flap button for the Golf VI as the fuel flap is manual (cost cutting) before anyone asks

Reason I ask chaps is because i was stood at the Parts counter on Sat morning with the VW fella and he queried it via the reg plate of an R32. He knew what I wanted but the on screen image didn't seem to show the chrome section in which case it would just be he same as mine, so I'd rather check at over £40 a time knowing how unhelpful dealers can be  :wink:

I think it must be the illustrations on the desk system they use, they're not in colour and they look like something off of woody the woodpecker sometimes.

Thanks.

As far as I know none of the Mk 5's have the chrome switches, it just certain models Golf 6's and certain model Passats.

Post by: rdfcpete on January 25, 2010, 05:46:53 pm
^ Hmm well there we go then, glad you said Rob  :smiley:

Am I better off just noting a B6 or R36 Passat reg plate and using that for the DB query so I get the right one?
Title: Re: Passat/R32 Auto Chrome Light Switches
Post by: Hedge on January 25, 2010, 05:51:56 pm
Can you not just give him the part numbers shown?

That was all I did with my dealer no reference to Reg number or VIN.

The drawings won't help as they are generic, and you are better off giving the reg of a Passat CC as they were all fitted with it after 2008


Oooo it looks like they do one without the front fog lights now  so I'll be able to upgrade as well  :happy2:

Switch off ignition and all electrical consumers.
Turn rotary grip of light switch to position off
Push in rotary grip of light switch -1- and turn it clockwise slightly -2-.
      
 Hold grip in this position and pull light switch out of dash panel using grip -3-.

I fitted new doorcards earlier this week, and in doing so broke the pins on one of the switches, VW do them still, but want £20 for one, was hoping some kind soul here has a spare?  :drinking:

There are multiple versions on the MKVI that give different options, although I can't see one for daytime running, there are different versions for cars fitted with auto headlights and standard headlights, also different versions depending if you have front and/or rear fog lights (at last)

Can't tell you which one is correct from ETKA, there are over 20 similar part numbers with different options
Thats where i got stuck today along with the VW parts guy. As none of them say leaving home im unsure which one to order and as any electrical part cant be returned once fitted it could be an expensive trial and error process

CAMELUK, Hi there, can you please give me the Part numbers for the window switches on a 3dr 2007 Ed30 (not sure if the latter makes any difference)  :ashamed:

As you prob know I require 2 switches for the drivers door and 1 for the passenger door.

The black rubbery paint has started peeling on mine  :confused:

Are they easy to fit? (shaun.....do you have another diagram?)

Thanks.  :smiley:

Sorry Hedge, was having a moment, saw front but read rear,d'oh. Don't want to use the front and rear switch if I can possibly help it as it's for my R32. There are a few people on vortex using the rear only but haven't heard yet whether they have full function, Still waiting on replies. Will post up when and if I find out

I just phoned them up to order parts in, they know me so I dont have to pay before ordering
I got them to check and the part number is 5K0 959 565  not 5K2 959 565 
If I'm lucky I might get a refund if the lad I know is one the desk in the morning, the other parts bloke is a right hitler!

Hi, I know this is an old thread (together with http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1795.0.html )

But I thought I would update it with some new info I found on a German site about part numbers:

3C8 941 431 B XSH – Lichtschalter mit NSL – 44 Euro

3C8 941 431 C XSH – Lichtschalter mit NSW, NSL – 44 Euro

3C8 941 431 XSH – Lichtschalter mit auto. Licht, NSW, NSL, CH – 44 Euro

3C8 941 431 A XSH – Lichtschalter mit auto. Licht, NSW, NSL, CH, LH – 44 Euro

(NSW: Nebelscheinwerfer; NSL: Nebelschlussleuchte; CH: Coming Home; LH: Leaving Home)

Google says:

3C8 941 431 B XSH - Light switch with NSL - 44 €

3C8 941 431 C XSH - Light switch with NSW, NSL - 44 €

3C8 941 431 XSH - with auto light switch. Light, NSW, NSL, CH - 44 €

3C8 941 431 A XSH - with auto light switch. Light, NSW, NSL, CH, LH - 44 €

(NSW: fog lights; NSL: rear fog lamp; CH: Coming Home; LH: Leaving Home)


It doesnt mention part number 3C8 941 431 N XSH so I've ordered the A version (since my car has a light sensor with coming/leaving home support in the MFD)

Easy job but added a couple more pics to the DIY process here: http://golfmk5diy.blogspot.com/ (http://golfmk5diy.blogspot.com/)
