As per the title, I need a new otter switch (want the lower one if possible).

Where do people go for spare parts these days?

Or https://www.tvrssw.com/

Is it the blue cap? VW item I think

Otter switch is a generic thing if you know the thread size, M22 possibly?

You can pay £23 for the cap from some of those suppliers, or go to your local motor factors and ask for one for an Audi 80, and pay less than £4!

Buy genuine pressure cap still available from VAG dealers everywhere around £20 IIRC,, dont cheap out or you'll be chasing coolant loss/boiling up etc Febi Bilstein get good votes but id still stick with genuine VAG

Thank you ordered from these guys, oddly the otter switch from them was the same as on ebay so a no brainer..

The cap was under a tenner too so can't complain really.

Thanks very much I may actually get a working car soon having spent 3k on her last month !!
