The switch was replaced whilst the garage was doing the control arms. It was described as a "difficult" job with one of the bolts very reluctant to come out. All now seems to operate as it should. Out of interest i decided to take the switch apart so drilled out the rivets holding the plastic case on and found that one of the contacts was distinctly dodgy. I have no idea what that contactor does but it doesnt seem to have been doing it very well. It looks dark as if there has been some arcing and the tip of the contact was, if not missing considerably shorterthan the others. Funny thing tho' is that its the one with the least contact strip to act on. Perhaps that WHY it failed.
The whiteish gunk is just lubricant. Note that this is the 10pin rectangular plug and not the older 8pin round type as shown in the Audipages article. The garage pointed out that the lead on the new switch was some 25mm shorter than the one removed and only just fitted when taking into account keeping it clear of the exhaust!

Now that is REALLY interesting. Thanks for opening it up.
 I always wondered what the F125 switch did and "guessed" it translated the physical position of the gearbox internals into an electrical signal for the TCU etc. to interpret and act on. That appears to be exactly what it does and given my odd symptoms I'm now more determined than ever to get mine replaced. Can you say how much work was involved (and cost?) and if they needed (As Adrian and my local indie suggest) that they needed to drop the gearbox a bit to get at it?

I havent had the bill for it yet as, while they doing the arms they noticed a tie rod end had movement in it for which I have ordered the part - due next week - and so final totalling up is on hold - for now! The switch was £155ish + VAT and the hours are probably about 4 (I hope!!). The Audi page guide (which I gave the garage) involves removing the transmission mount and levering the exhaust out the way - its not easy to access it and its not something you can without a lift.
I will post the detailed cost info when I get the bill

01L919821B is for gearbox codes FUM, FUU, FSG, FBE, FBG (mine is the last of these) 01V919821B is for gearbox codes APR, AQD, AFB, AKN, AQG, AKE, AKC and AMX I guess the cable length could be the only difference?

If it's an error by TPS or whoever they sourced the part from they should replace it and cover the labour.

I suspect that VAG will always now supply the 01V part in lieu of the 01L. Thanks tho for the offer of the ETKA print outs Adrian but not really needed now.

FBG here. I'm probably heading to the garage in the morning to get mine booked in; I'll make sure they order the 01L version if available.
Maybe you just got the wrong box...... Once again, those internal shots are really helpful; I'll do the same in due course.
