Where It Fits in the Vehicle
What the assembly controls or displays
- Hazard warning lights: commands all direction indicators to flash together for emergency or obstruction warning.
- Automatic start-stop OFF: sends the driver’s request to disable the start-stop function for the current drive cycle, where the vehicle is equipped and configured for it.
- Passenger-airbag OFF indication: displays the passenger-airbag deactivation status. It is an indicator function and is not a substitute for correct airbag-system diagnosis.
Correct Vehicle & Body-Style Reference
The vehicle images identify the relevant first-generation facelift body styles; they do not guarantee compatibility with every equipment specification. The full reference, switch face and connector must match.

This listing is not confirmed for:
| Vehicle / variation | Reason |
|---|---|
| Audi A1 8X pre-facelift, normally 2010–2014 | DO NOT ASSUME FITMENT. Earlier switch variants and equipment combinations can look similar. A 2015 registration can also require extra checking. |
| Audi A1 GB second generation, late 2018 onward | WILL NOT FIT. Different vehicle generation, dashboard architecture and electronics. |
| Any 8X0 959 672 unit with a different final letter | NOT AN AUTOMATIC INTERCHANGE. The suffix identifies the exact switch configuration or revision. |
| Cars with a different button face, blanking arrangement, connector or clip layout | WILL NOT FIT CORRECTLY. Match the removed unit visually. |
| Audi A3, A4, A5, Q-series or unrelated Volkswagen Group models | NOT CONFIRMED. Similar icons do not make the assembly interchangeable. |
Common Fault Symptoms
- Hazard lights do not activate, activate intermittently or require excessive pressure on the button.
- Hazard button is sticking, cracked, loose, missing or physically damaged.
- Automatic start-stop OFF button does not register a press, despite the rest of the system being operational.
- Passenger-airbag OFF status lamp is dim, intermittent or not illuminating when the system commands it.
- Button symbols or backlighting are not working while surrounding illumination operates normally.
- Connector socket, housing tabs or dashboard retaining clips are damaged.
Why Choose a Used Factory Part?
Designed for the vehicle
- Correct factory-style connector geometry and locking features when the reference matches.
- Correct icon layout, illumination appearance and dashboard clip positions.
- A used factory component can avoid the poor fit, inconsistent lighting or fragile plastics sometimes found in low-cost copies.
- Reusing a serviceable original-manufacturer component can cost substantially less than buying a new replacement.
Potential value
Used vehicle parts can offer savings of up to 70% against some new replacement prices, depending on the component, supplier and current market price. This is a comparison guide rather than a guaranteed saving.
Always compare the total condition, warranty, fitment certainty and exact part reference — not price alone.
Fitting Guide, Tools & Estimated Time
Recommended tools
- Plastic trim-removal lever or non-marking panel tool
- Small pick or fine flat trim tool for the connector latch
- Torx T20/T25 driver if surrounding trim removal is required
- 10 mm socket or spanner if disconnecting the battery
- Protective cloth or low-tack tape for surrounding trim
- Suitable diagnostic scan tool for fault checking where required
General replacement procedure
- Park safely, switch the ignition off, remove the key and allow vehicle systems to shut down.
- Where the manufacturer procedure requires it, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait the specified time before working near an SRS-status indicator. Be aware that stored settings or fault codes may be affected.
- Protect the surrounding dashboard and use a plastic lever to release the switch module or the relevant centre trim evenly. Do not twist the fascia or force one corner.
- Support the module, release the electrical connector locking tab and unplug it without pulling on the wiring.
- Compare the old and replacement units side by side: full number, final G suffix, face layout, connector keying, pin arrangement and mounting clips.
- Reconnect the plug until it locks, align the clips and press the module evenly into its original position.
- Restore the battery connection where applicable, switch on the ignition and test hazard operation, start-stop OFF request and passenger-airbag status illumination.
- Scan for stored faults and investigate any continuing warning rather than assuming the replacement panel is responsible.

Returns & Fitment Responsibility

Returns are handled through eBay under the return policy shown on the listing. Where eBay permits, a deduction may be applied only for actual loss of value when an item is returned used, damaged, altered, incomplete or inadequately packaged. No automatic percentage deduction is claimed merely because a buyer selected a particular return reason.
Contact us through eBay Messages before purchase if uncertain. A clear photograph of the existing part is normally more useful than item-specific data alone.
