This is a high-quality reproduction of the original Volkswagen vacuum switch, bracket, and nut assembly for the decoupler and differential lock. We sell this switch only as an assembly because when the bracket is worn to the point of no longer holding the switch in place, it is because the switch has worn to the point it has too much internal friction and eventually requires too much force to operate, and the bracket fails as a result.
Bottom line: if you are having issues your switch or bracket, cry once and replace the whole assembly! Yeah: GoWesty’s got your back!
Knob not included. Get the knob here.
Fits: All 1986-91 4WD Syncro Vanagon models
Note: This product is a direct replacement for the original OEM VW switch at the dash, but does not include the white vacuum components that connect the switch itself to the differential lock or decoupler. See the related products list below for additional items you may need, or get the Vacuum Switch Kit we offer that includes the tubing.
Electrical part: what to know
Many electrical faults are a bad connection rather than a failed part, so check grounds and connectors first.
