My hazard switch is wonky . I'm looking at some vw stuff online that has the part# but slightly differet configuration. Anyone tried this or know an interchangeable part? This is maddening. Thanks. It's a 72.

Look for a used original, there should be many available. They rarely fail.

It's a 72. by different configuration do you mean the central colored bit with the symbol is different. if so - then its just a matter of either looking around enough to find the right one, or just flipping out that central plastic bit with the symbol and putting in your old plastic bit from your wonky switch. the euro cars had a different symbol in the switch than the USA cars. a lot of the aftermarket repro switches have the euro symbol in them. same goes for cig lighters. a lot of the new repro replacement switches have the later cig lighters used in the Golf with a cig and smoke swirl. but if you look around you can find the older "ronson" lighter style symbol. usually from european VW parts shops. |

very little problem with these, we have over 250 (used) on the shelf and hardly ever sell one

I used Howard's original E switch so You pay for the shipping I will send you the one out of my 72. Always worked. PM if interested I put in a pic so you can check the part number. Do you need all three pieces or are you good with just the switch? Attached thumbnail(s)
