What OE numbers does this replace?

It serves as a direct replacement for OE numbers 171959511 and 191959511.

Can I use this for a custom project?

While it is an electrical switch, it is engineered for specific Audi/VW dashboard housings and may not fit other vehicle consoles.

Troubleshooting

Blower motor does not turn on at any setting

Verify that the 4-pin connector is fully seated and inspect the associated fuse in the vehicle's fuse box.

Switch feels loose in the dashboard

Check that the plastic retaining tabs on the housing are not bent and the switch is properly snapped into the dashboard bracket.

Intermittent fan operation

Check the wiring harness for corrosion or loose pins, and ensure the switch terminals are clean and free of oxidation.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality electrical contacts for long-term reliability
  • Easy installation for standard dashboard layouts
  • Matches factory OE specifications

Cons

  • Not compatible with vehicles equipped with air conditioning
  • Requires careful cross-referencing of OE part numbers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires removing the dashboard trim panel to access the rear of the ventilation control unit. Ensure the ignition is off before disconnecting the old switch. When installing the V10-73-0188, ensure the 4-pin connector snaps securely into place to prevent loose connections that could lead to arching. This part is compatible with a wide range of classic platforms, including the Golf, Jetta, Passat, Scirocco, and Transporter models. For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the switch face, as this can degrade the plastic texture; a dry microfiber cloth is sufficient for routine cleaning.
