Hi All. I am looking to replace the turn signal switch in my 74 1.8. PET looks like it is part number 914 613 913 14 but the same is listed for the wiper switch, as well. I searched around this site and there are a lot of recommendations, but most are from quite a while ago. Can anyone recommend a current reliable source for this part? Thank you.

I have a NOS SWF replacement. Not cheap but the real deal.

Best one I have found came from my local air cooled VW shop in a unlabeled white box.

Ordered a few online before that and all 3 of them both had poor fit and failed in short order, if I recall the Mahle were especially bad.

Think you mean Meyle.

yup

Looks nice. I'd like to find an aftermarket one ... considering the price of most NOS parts. And my car is bit of a rescue.

BTW, don't tighten the mounting screws. Let the thing sort of float.

Got it, thanks. I read that tightening it down is not exactly best practice!

I found a NOS SWF switch apparently for the MkI Golf/Rabbit that worked great on my 73. P/N on box is VW-171-953-513

I ordered mine from JBugs. There are two versions though...had to order both to figure out the correct one - one extra connector on the first one I got. Physically would not fit into the column opening.

Here's a pick comparing the Jbugs levers/switches with the originals:

Hope that helps!

I just replaced mine with one sourced from Sierra Madre. Works great and happy to have the auto cancel functioning again. Had to bend the horn contact slightly for the horn to work, but luckily that was pretty easy to figure out.

I just received a Dansk unit. I know their stuff is sometimes problematic. I'll let you all know how it goes ...

... and done. The part fit perfectly and I have a self canceling turn signal for the first time since I bought the car. I still reach to turn it off after turns. Old habits are hard to shake.
