Just a heads up all… If you own a VW…you probably know this…maybe not…

The brake light switch and the ignition coils were recalled on over 800,000 VW’s… The brake lights on my 03 GTi just went Kaput…and I looked it up and Voila RECALLED.

That xplains why i have no brake lights…(Quite DANGEROUS ACTUALLY)… On my way to the Dealer to grab my new brake light switch right now…

Just an FYi… If you own a VW SECOND HAND…YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE RECALL…ALL original owners I am sure know already.
