Reverse Light Problem

I've got the "common Fault" of the reverse light failure :evil:
It looks like the wire has snapped really close to where it goes into the switch plug.
Has anyone fixed this fault and can tell me what i need please ?

Thank you.

Have a look across on briskoda - as this has been covered many times and maybe even this week. Failing that you will need to remove the pins and add in a short extra length of wire.

I had a look on there, plenty of info, i dont mind getting my hands dirty but it's in hard to get to spot from above and i aint getting under it !
Apparently it's a "common Fault" on A3's and Skoda's aswell, how they can get away with such an obvious design fault, doesn't fill the 9N owner with confidence.
Whats Next :shock:

Hum, now you sound like you are as disillusioned about "VW quality" as I am, but in all fairness, as I've said many times before, these nasty little cars are 100% Skoda where it counts most! They don't say that on the adverts - yet Skoda Fabia and Seat Ibiza keep winning awards - strange eh! VW Polo on the other hand is meant to be an extremely tough little car - it just does not add up does it? Maybe the award bodies and the adverts are not being truthful - no change there then!
