window switch question

Hello fellas,

Can someone advise me on electric window switch drivers side double unit; will an 8P AUDI A3 set fit an A2? They look identical, Just wondered if the internals are the same?

Thanks

Oli
 
I think the window switches within the A3 mounting plate have A2 (8Z) part nos so there is a fair chance they will fit. The mounting plates are however unique to each car

Kook - please can you post here whatever you decide to do with your windows switches including part numbers please? Mine are working perfectly but cosmetically worn. It doesn't really bother me but if replacing them is easy and cheap I might give it a try. Also, an idea of how easy/hard would be useful!
 
Hi folks,

Is it possible to replace the window switch ( 2 buttons, electric just on the front ) on the drivers side (LHD car ) without removing the whole door card? I'm thinking just the small panel where the switch is fixed? Marked in red on the attached pic.

Thanks.

Just everyone replace the window switch for four windows, to a one with Chrom applications? Here is a example, but I need the part number of the 4 switch block.

@Sohnemann the picture looks like a modified later A3 or A4 window switch with the old existing rear inhibit switch ( button at least ) fitted to it. All the later A3 and A4 inhibit switches are curved on the rear face, the A2 is rectangular. Chances are you will have to do the same if that is the look you want.

Thank you for the quick response. My problem is the difference between the window switch for the two windows and the one of my Audi.
One typ is a button and the other one has some small metal pins. Hopefully the Audi A3 8P switch save my problem.

Some pictures of the problem.

This is, what I want

And this is my one

The part number for the A2 drivers side window switch (electric font windows only) is 8Z0 959 851G 5PR. It cost me eur €40 including VAT @23% (I live in Ireland). You will also notice in the photo that this part is made in the UK.

Either chrome or plain black, better to change the whole assembly not pull off the switches. The exception to that is if the lock inhibit switch from the chrome one is able to have the button swapped for the correct shape A2 one.
 
Does anyone have any experience with buying switches from Ali Express, e.g. these? (Realising that the lock button is of course the wrong shape.)
