NikpV Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 there are 2 switches IIRC on the brake pedal failure here can cause this (ithink about Quote
csj Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 thank you , changed the brake light switch last year didnt know there was another one Quote
NikpV Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 maybe single switch with 2 poles?? there is a post on here dave-g ithink talking about a bad batch of these. Does car go into limp home mode when it happens ? Quote
csj Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 i have a 2001 115 tdi that drve with no throttle the other day turned of and back on it was perfect you think same prob ? Quote
Beyond Help? Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 No that would have been caused by one of several other issues, if it comes back then the ECU can be interrogated to find out why. If not, don't worry, it was most likely just a dodgy reading. Quote

Harness is about 12 wires more than half of mine were exposed or broken. Wife never told me the rear wiper did't work either.All rewired now but what a pain in the arse anyhow have a spare switch now Quote
