I know this is slightly off topic, but I have just recently replaced mine with a green one.
I was having problems with my radio reception with interference, now its fine. Could possibly be due to a dying brake light switch :S
Yeah Audi said same thing to me as well 10 days + wait...went down to my local TPS and they had one in stock...I took a pic

Think part no is = 7L6 945 511
Good news - through fair means or foul I have been able to locate one in the VAG network at a dealership in Aberdeen, so it's on the way down today - it's the 1J0 945 511A rather than the 1C0 945 511A; speaking to my contact in that neck of the woods, he tells me that the latter part is proving too be unreliable (apparantly it originated in the VW Transporter) so is no longer fitted, hence the delay in racking-up production/ supply of the original part.
Now the decision as to whether I fit the part myself or take it to The TT Shop - it looks simple in many respects but I can't even remove all the plastic...
Currently when driving I am using my fog light as a temporary brake light - it means the front fogs are on too, much to people's chargrin no doubt!
The bulbs crossed my mind too, but the dashboard light still flashing and the brake light being partially illuminated at all times suggests there is a fault with something I have done - I have removed the connections and refitted, fiddled with the switch a little but its not working...
I'm not really bothered about goosing the part, but that I now have to wait up to 3 weeks (groan...), at least I have some brake lights...
...
All advice greatly appreciated!
