Fit a new switch and see how that goes.
My 1978 Mk1 Scirocco has 2 switches in the master cylinder, do you only have 1?

If you use a clear pipe on the wheel cylinders and calipers when bleeding the system you should see the change in colour of the brake fluid and you can check there is no air bubbles in there.
Clean the threads of the bleed nipples and spray some Plusgas or WD40 and let it soak for a day if possible, go careful with the nipples as you don’t want to sher them off.
Let us know how you get on.

Dot 4 is what you want, brake fluid should be changed every 3 years, you may find the brake pedal will feel a lot firmer with new brake fluid in there.

Carefully remove the bleeder ports from the Calipers and the Cylinders.
Wrap the threads and ends with Teflon tape, pierce the bleeder hole on the port. Replace, the port, they will not rust freeze ever.
Build your own power bleeder with a cap from the wreckers (besure to get a gasket with the cap.).
Make a large collection jar. and you will be a one man bleeder maniac.

I used a 2 quart sprayer.
For a large collection jar I used a Pasta Sauce glass jar.
