This post may need to be moved to another section.
So as some of you may have read, I installed a cluster with FIS (full pixel display) finally. To use all of it's functions, a new wiper switch is needed.
I searched on e-bay and found some for 25 Euros, and another 26Euros for the shipping, others with lower start bid prices - that usually get up to 20 sometimes 30 Euros.
Did a lot more searching and found a site (link from tdi club)
http://www.altrom.com/index.htm
This place is an importer and supplies parts for a lot of different vehicles, they had a few different versions of the wiper switch (wiper stalk).
4B0 953 503H is the one needed for the golf (need rear wiper function)
lists for $79 on their website, they also have a list local retailer that can get the products for you.
called Mikkelsen's, they got me one for $67.91 including GST, picking it up today.
You may want to check Altrom for commonly used parts (brakes, electronics, body parts, suspension .........) that you need for VW, or most other makes of cars for that matter, as a price comparisin.
I say this because in the GB for clusters thread the wiper switch was quoted as being about $150 and everyone likes to save some money.
