You should have this set up? the non return valve number 4 is connected to the inlet manifold and basically it controls the drive to the rear wheels

[Housey]

well, the rear wheels is not engaging when the car is reversed, could this be the problem?

the swith for the reversing lights is shot, so i need a new one. i guess this is all connected?

and the electical connector in the rear was not connected either

[Chris S]

As you say, this is most definitely all connected,

The reversing light switch P/N 191 919 823D was dropped without replacement on 01-06-2007 and there are none left anywhere in within VW,
I have some rebuilt ones here available on an exchange basis at 25 euros each + postage, or I will rebuild your switch for the same price.

(Considering that they cost over 40eu each when they were available from VW I think thats a fair price)

as far as i know, mine is just a normal 2 prong one. like on the fwd golfs..

[Chris S]

oh no it should have 7 or 8 connection pins & wires,

like this

[Housey]

uhm… damn.. i got to check this, havn’t actually looked too much down there yet :p

[Housey]

late answer, but have been busy for a while

the switch is of the type above here, but somebody has messed with the wiring.

so. going to redo about 1 feet of the wiring, using soldering and heatshrink tubing could help, if not, the switch is faulty

[Chris S]

Please ignore the yelloe wire that runs across the picture from left to right as is is not connected with the reverse switch in any way.
