Hi!: surfing on Ebay I found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SWF-SWITCH-PORSCHE-...06.c0.m245

Note in the last pic is 2 position switch... what is it for??? is an accesory for VW (Oval) Split, as says the seller in the title? Thanks!

There is not enough info to tell if it is a 2 or 3 position switch. No doubt Alex will jump on here and clarify it.
There were 2 position switches available, which replaced the foot high beam switch, and there were other switches that were used as a high beem flasher. Also Becker and Blaupunkt used them for the Becker Mexico and the Blaupunkt Köln radios, which both had a station seeking function, and this switch was used to seek the next station.

Thanks for the answer! I didnīt know that about the radios... :shock: I`m pretty sure is 2 position switch because I had one of these, bought in Cyprus to a guy called Andreu. I donīt know what happen with my key, but I remember it was black, euro-style mounting... and 2 points. The seller said it was a replacement for the foot swith, but I couldnīt never install it in my car (thereīs no place in the column) and I never saw this switch in any catalogue. This piece was (and still is) a enigma for me... :?

This for sure is an 3 position switch. Just an aftermarket item for any kind of direktion indicators.

Well... I guess I`m lucky... after searching a lot I finally found the switch :D!:








Not doubt it is two position for headlights... :wink: I remember the seller, (as like the Ebay advertise) only said is for Oval Split and 356. I bought it 2 or 3 years ago, when I had a 51. As you can see, I never used the part īcause I doubt if itīs really a original accesory for VW. What do you think?

Oh, yes you are right, two position. Well, not much VW related anyway.

I guess some part of this quiz is closed... the Ebay seller said his ad about a semaphore switch. But my 2 position SWF is still a mistery...
