Welcome to the Vintage Wasserpumper Forum. Our main feature at the forum is the MASTER INDEX FILE, which is an organized archive of valuable posts, photos, and data, which is updated from time to time to include new information posted on the forum. If you are on a rural dial-up service, or have an otherwise slow computer setup, please be patient for the main page to load, due to numerous photo thumbnails. I will be working in the future to accelerate the opeining of photos on this web site. Regards to all, Paul.

The front engine water cooled cars not only saved Porsche from extinction by increasing sales, they also out performed the rear engine models in several areas, due to superior weight bias and overall handling. The 924 and 944 series started out as mid-level sports car, and was developed into high powered turbocharged world beater. The 4-cylinder 944 and 968 engine, is basically 1/2 of a 928 V8 engine on a special 4-cylinder block. The 928 evolved into one of the finest high performance luxury GT cars ever produced for the general public. All Porsches are great cars, but early wasserpumpers (1977-1995) don't have that tendency to want to crash backwards when you lift off the throttle while going into a decreasing radius turn (no offense to our rear engine bretheren).

Go into your local Porsche dealer, tell them your brake lights are not working. After you have the discussion about fuses and bulbs, then you will eventually get to the (hydraulic) pressure sensor that controlls brake lights.

Buy the Porsche part and you will spend $40+

However, that same part is used on the VW Beetle from 1970 - 1974, yadda yadda, etc.

Alternatives to the Porsche part are:

WORLDPAC brake light switch N3150-15117-Brazil
(Interesting notation, because Brazil bought the tooling for the Beetle, and they are still producing it down there, and they probably have a lot of them with brake lights too, lol).


BWD Automotive, S567 with suffex of v08217 and a bar code reading of 33086 02768



Here is what they all look like, this one happens to be the BWD unit.







These are identical units, threads are the same, appearance is the same, and they are each three pole units. The two non-Porsche parts are $15
