    Hit your local wrecker with a printout from Aliexpress and negotiate a same price for OEM item. Or fight on with VW. A switch like this shouldn't be considered a "consumable item".

    $226 supplied & fitted.
    I've rang VW AU and made a complaint and asked to escalate the warranty issue.
    Let's see where this ends up before we go Tribunal.

    Yeh that's ****. Just had mine replaced at CCVW yesterday. Guy made a point that they don't normally do it, and thinks it's a user problem not a manufacturing fault. I didn't say anything back, just signed the job under warranty and drove off. I do think it's definitely warranty worthy tho, EHB braking after 18months old car? Shotty longevity!

    Good to know about auto hold and auto disengage. Might play with that for a little while, see if I don't feel jolts etc, best not to use the button if it's going to break again.

    Just a gentle tap is enough my last cars one lasted 9 years.

    Like some people pound keys on a keyboard and wonder why they break

    Don’t know.
    Just noticed it was sitting a little proud and then felt it was loose.
    Then realised it had clean snapped in half.

    As I said, most of the time I don’t use it as it automatically comes on/off.

    I might try a different dealer and see how I go.
    Its been a week since I spoke to VW HQ and heard nothing back yet!!

    Well after nearly a couple months and ringing VW AU HQ 3 times and getting nowhere, I booked it into the dealer I bought it from and fixed under warranty, no questions asked!

    Alls well again! ��
