    Parking Brake Error

    About 3 (yes, 3) parking brake switches later I am still finding myself having to replace it. The original which was revision A (3C0927225A) kept flashing a parking brake fault on the MFD. I replaced it with a C revision which worked for a while then that went faulty. I replaced it with another C version and perfect! Until yesterday. The parking brake still functions correctly at the moment, but eventually it'll turn into the switch not working at all. The lights in the unit are the first to go faulty, then it'll throw an error.

    What am I doing wrong?! Surely they aren't considered a consumable?!

      What is the fault in vcds? I had to replace the epb controller as it had CPU faults.

        I haven't been able to scan as I don't have a VAGCOM cable. I read about the controller a little earlier. Thought my situation may have differed from what I read but maybe not. Stupid car.

          From what I understand the switch fixes most common faults with these however the controllers can also be problematic (as it was in my case).
          Since I replaced mine it's been perfect, at least 12months now I think.

            How 'genuine' and 'OEM' are those $15 switches on eBay and AliExpress? Could the problem be that they aren't actually that genuine.. Hmmm

                A switch is a switch.
                One manufacturered to a higher standard will last longer.
                But if the fault is recurring then it may be epb module rather than the switch (es)
