Just buy one of these and stop wasting time chasing rainbows

Delivery from China is extremely slow at the moment. Got few items on the "slow boat from china". There is a 90day delivery timelimit before you can claim non-delivery irrespective of the claimed delivery time during purchase.
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".

What are VW quoting to do the repair ?

$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.

Wow, that's just clean snapped off. How'd that happen?

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! ��
