They are both available through VW parts--
The low pressure switch is $162.23, the high pressure switch is $197.60.
Now, I do know these will function as they should.
You could very well locate any low or high pressure switch at almost any auto parts store for 20-30 bucks.
However, I know full well universal switches do not usually function as the factory units and you may find out they don't / won't perform properly.
This is the big crap shoot in life--save a buck and wind up with problems.
There is nothing unusual about what year or system you have for a low pressure switch--they all will cut out in a low pressure situation.
It all depends on what you want to spend getting the right stuff for your Van.
I do have a functioning low pressure switch available--OE original for $29.00

The VW price numbers I posted earlier apply to your factory installed 91 tin top.

| Actually, his 91 tin top had a single trinary switch, not a separate hi and low pressure switch. I don't have any helpful part numbers, however. |

Huh.
The title sez he is looking for idividual switches.
Now he's looking for one switch does it all.
How'd ya know that?

I think we know it from his title. He said high low as single switch.
Other VW use the same single trinary switch as later Vanagons do.

"We" don't know from the description.
High - low single switch could be one of each or one that does both.
Take your pick We.

The VC purveys OE parts,
Not also looks like, similar to, brought to you live, direct from Bombay, may ,also, maybe , function.
OE cost a hair more than the genuine Gangi river water buffalo plant stuff.
I'd much rather have an idea what I was buying too regardless of the price.

If you look at the picture of the Van Cafe trinary switch, it has the VW/Audi logo and it's made in the UK.
