The ignition switch on my 2002 has started occasionally acting up (again). Must be a BRBS thing. The first time it failed on me was at BRBS several years ago. I got it replaced under warranty then, but now I'm on my own. The dealer replaced the electrical part first, but that was only partially successful, so he then replaced the complete assembly, less the lock mechanism with the (new and improved) version. This was around 2008 or so.
So my question - short of taking the switch out to get the part number, is there any way to tell which Audi/VW part I need? I read the DIY which mentions two vesions of the switch. I searched the archives and found references to older Boxsters needing the newer switch. I'm guessing that the new version of the switch assembly needs the later version of the electrical switch, but the key word here is "guessing".
Hopefully it will last through BRBS and until I get back home when I'll be able to order one and get it installed.
Thanks,
Al
