Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between 3Q0713128 and 5Q0713128A?
A: 3Q0713128 fits the later MQB platform models (DQ200/DQ250/DQ381/DQ500, 2013+), while 5Q0713128A fits earlier MQB and DQ200 0AM models. The 3Q part is updated and fits a wider range of current DSG vehicles.

Q: Do I need the sleeve (8V0713169) as well?
A: In some cases yes — the sleeve prevents the gator boot from jamming the switch again. See our bundle listing ETB3445 if you want both parts together.

Q: How do I know black vs white version?
A: Physically inspect the existing switch in your vehicle by removing the gear selector trim panel.

Q: Does this fix the DQ500 gearbox fault?
A: Compatible with DQ500 in the 8V1 RS3 only. Does not fit DQ500 in Transporter (T5/T6) applications.
