Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this part, start with the part number CSL178 and the item type Brake Light Switch. Those are the most useful identifiers here, especially because brake light switch designs can vary even within the same vehicle family. The listed fitment references point to Volkswagen Golf applications, including 1990, 1991 and 1992 examples, so the exact year and variant still need to be checked against the vehicle.

The switch is supplied as a single each unit and weighs 0.2 kg, which is useful when checking that you are ordering one replacement rather than a pair or a different electrical component. The two-year warranty provides a clear purchasing reference, but it does not replace the need to confirm the correct application before installation.

Fuelmiser describes this part as manufactured to OEM specifications and sourced from OEM and OES manufacturers. That means the important buying step is to match the replacement to the original switch’s application details, not just the general description. If the vehicle has had prior electrical work, or if the original part has been superseded, the part number CSL178 should be checked carefully against the existing unit.

Brake light switches are safety-related electrical components, so correct fitment and proper operation matter. If the vehicle listed as a Volkswagen Golf is not the exact application, or if there is any doubt about the brake pedal switch style, compare the original part, wiring arrangement and mounting details before fitting. That is the safest way to avoid ordering the wrong switch.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number CSL178 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
