Positioned directly into the manual gearbox casing, its primary operational function is to detect when the driver engages reverse gear. Shifting into reverse physically depresses the switch plunger, closing the internal contacts to complete the electrical circuit and illuminate the vehicle's rear backup lamps. Over years of operational service, constant mechanical actuation deforms the contact plunger, while moisture or gear oil tracking past aging seals can foul the internal contact plates. This results in backup lights that intermittently flicker, fail to turn on entirely, or stay stuck on permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e TOPRAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102 938\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e TOPRAN 102 938 001\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mechanical Gearbox Reversing Light Sensor \/ Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mechanical plunger type\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombi Switch Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normally Open Contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pins:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-pin electrical connection block\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rectangular \/ Angled layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Quality — manufactured to exact factory material specs and electrical continuity tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis distinct 5-pin mechanical reverse sensor is precision-machined to thread into early water-cooled manual transmission housings used across various first and second-generation Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCar Model \/ Platform\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCompatible Chassis Layouts\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eEngine Profiles\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eYear of Manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf II (19E, 1G1) \/ Jetta II (19E)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModels equipped with specific manual gearbox configurations\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.3 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.8 GTI \/ 1.8 GTI 16V \/ 1.6 D \/ 1.6 TD\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1983 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf I (17) \/ Jetta I (16) \/ Golf 1 Convertible (155)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard mechanical manual gearboxes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.1 \/ 1.3 \/ 1.5 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.6 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1978 - 1993\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Scirocco I \u0026amp; II (53, 53B) \/ Caddy I (14)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard manual transmissions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.6 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1978 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eGearbox Switch Profile \u0026amp; Pin Count Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Volkswagen manual gearboxes utilized several reversing light switch designs over their production runs, transitioning between basic 2-pin switches and this more complex **5-pin angled rectangular configuration** (which sometimes integrated multi-function logic or upshift indicator wiring depending on the vehicle package). Always physically verify the pin count and harness plug shape on your existing gearbox switch prior to purchasing. When installing the replacement switch, ensure the thread mating surface is perfectly clean, and always fit a fresh washer\/gasket to prevent slow, persistent gear oil leaks from weeping past the transmission case.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOriginal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Reference Numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis premium replacement reverse light switch cross-references directly with, or serves as a factory-correct swap for, the following original factory equipment codes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVAG (VW \/ AUDI \/ SEAT \/ SKODA \/ CUPRA \/ PORSCHE):\u003c\/strong\u003e 191 919 823, 191919823\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJP GROUP (Interchange Reference):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1196600400\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVEMO (Interchange Reference):\u003c\/strong\u003e V10-73-0121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"topran","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57537982398847,"sku":"102938","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/7252\/9023\/files\/preview_ad45d45b-b534-4526-82f4-3487a8b6c1ed.jpg?v=1778859367","url":"https:\/\/klassik357.eu\/products\/vw-reverse-switch-102938","provider":"Klassik357 - Classic and retro car parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
