Reply With QuoteHmm......... not sure what this question relates-to?
The actual brake-light switch is physically bolted to the Brake master cylinder (see picture below) and of course the brake pedal switch is where the name suggests!

Putting it out to the brains trust on this website
Where is the Polo 6R GTi (1.4 CAVE Engine) Brake Light Switch located?
How do we get to it to remove and replace it.
Any manuals or guides would be appreciated. If email address required please PM and i will reply there.
Thanks In Advance

you might need to get creative with some tools, or possibly remove the lower engine mount which will allow you to rock the engine which will give you more room to access the master cylinder (you will need a second person to help do this).Originally Posted by GTI14L

@GTI14L : Yes, part #9 - as I say in the note on my picture -why do you want to access the switch?

As the brake lights aren't working.

OK - I don't have a wiring diagram for the CAV engine - but on other model Polo engines, the Brake light switch is fused. Again, I don't know about the CAV engine, but on lots of 2008 engines, the fuse is SB32 and on many 2011 engines the fuse is SA32.
Before you grab a spanner and particularly given the difficulty of physically accessing the actual switch - maybe look at the fuse panel on this car first? It may not be relevant on the CAV engine - but it's an easy try, so worth a shot IMO!
