Ok so I have a bit of a strange one. My current 6 window switch is cosmetically damaged and the button for the drivers window doesn't work. The passenger button and electric mirror part all work. I have purchased 3 different window switches now, told they are working but when I fit to my car they don't. Surely I can't be that unlucky to have bought 3 non working switches? Could there be a different issue? Don't want to keep.buying if they are never going to work

There are different switches dependant on year/phase.

The connecting plugs also vary. Ie mine is a phase 2 which when you look at the under side of switch it only has 4 pins where the later has more connecting pins

I meant different switches as in the internal workings and the connecting plug.

cosmetically they all look the same

Correct. There's a mini-FAQ on this: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=74364

might be worth spending 20 minutes of your time cleanign the door plug pins on either connector side with a little peice of emery paper.

they have a habit of corroding/green gunking up.
