Meyle Brake Light Switch 114 890 0012 Changeover Contact For Left-hand Drive Vehicles

The MEYLE brake light switch, part number 114 890 0012, is a switch sold as each and identified in the braking product group. It carries OEM number 6Q0 945 511 and is listed with a changeover contact combi switch function, so matching the exact electrical function is important when replacing the original unit.

This switch is specified for left-hand drive vehicles and is covered by a one year warranty. For a brake light switch, the key checks are the part number, the OEM reference, and the drive-side application, because those details are what separate the correct replacement from an incompatible one.

Fitment data supplied with this item includes applications across AUDI A3, SKODA FABIA, SKODA OCTAVIA, and VOLKSWAGEN CADDY model ranges, with year references shown for a number of those vehicles. That makes the application details worth checking carefully before ordering, especially if the vehicle is a left-hand drive version of a VW Group model.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a brake light switch, the best matching points are the part number 114 890 0012, the OEM number 6Q0 945 511, and the listed changeover contact function. If the original switch carries a different reference or a different contact arrangement, it should not be assumed to be the same part.

The left-hand drive note matters just as much as the part number. A switch can look similar across Volkswagen Group vehicles, but the application can still differ by drive side. That is why the vehicle build details and the original switch information should be checked together before ordering.

This item is supplied as an each-unit switch in the braking category, so it is intended as a direct replacement component rather than a kit. The one year warranty applies to the part as supplied, but it does not replace the need to confirm the correct application in the vehicle.

If you are matching by vehicle, use the listed application group as a guide and then confirm the exact model year and drive side against the vehicle. The supplied fitment preview includes AUDI A3, SKODA FABIA, SKODA OCTAVIA, and VOLKSWAGEN CADDY, but the final match still needs to be checked against the vehicle’s original part details.

For workshop use, the most reliable buying approach is to compare the old switch, the OEM number 6Q0 945 511, and the part number 114 890 0012 before fitting. That is especially important when the vehicle has previously had repairs, because replacement parts may not always be the same as the factory-installed component.

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 114 890 0012 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.
