Hello,
I'm about to order a turn signal switch for my 2004 Beetle TDI PD. The best my local shops can do is around $150cdn. Went online and you can find them ranging from $40 on up. I have some questions that I hope someone can answer before I order though. Something I was asked when I was getting quotes was, "With comfort indicator or without?" Searched online, and found a post on NewBeetle forum that mentioned a "comfort blinker"...Tap the stalk and the blinker flashes 3x. Just to confirm, is this what comfort indicator refers to? My beetle does not have this function. If I were to get a turn signal switch that has a comfort indicator and install it in my car would the switch still work as a normal turn signal switch would? Or would the comfort indicator function have to wired up correctly in order to make the rest of the switch work? Also, when I search for switches, some of the lists show compatibility ending or beginning at the 2004 and 2005 model year. My thinking is this is due to the change from the ALH to the BEW engine... but would there really be a different turn signal switch to correspond with a different engine? This seems unlikely to me, but crazier things have happened. Helps appreciated.
Thanks
