Odd switch, anyone have any ideas??

Post by aled_31 » Sat Aug 08, 2015 1:02 pm

Looking to buy another B8, found a really nice example but there seems to be an odd aftermarket switch fitted near the bonnet release (please see pic). The switch rotates left and right. Just wondering if anybody has come across anything similar in the past. Would be nice to know what it is :thumbs: :thumbs:

Or passenger ejector seat? Or oil slick?

Haha!!, Hoping that garage door opener is likely. Laser jammer would be a bonus though :bigblink: :bigblink:

I can't quite see the pic (too small) so can't really tell what it looks like.

The dealler I got my car from has a company that retro fits heated seats but they don't retro fit the correct switches as Audi integrate them at the factory. They use horrible little switches which look terrible, could it be something like this? They fit them in the door panel by the way, yuck.
