Worst scenario will be its fallen off the back of the speedo panel . This goes out in fifth gear ? Even when not connected .

I replaced my MFA switch on the gearbox a few months ago. Issue I had was;
1. Reversing lights would not work.
2. The MFA indicator would NOT come on in 5th i.e. the needle would not appear.
The ornage light woorked OK - i.e came on when RPM > 2000.
I got my switch from GSF. Straight relacement in my Campaign - can't remember how many prongs it had. There was a thread on here a while back that discussed issues with different types.
Out of interest you mention VAG parts.com - can you buy VAG parts online now?
Cheers
