No! They look the same on the front, but they are fixed to the instrument
cluster with little metal plates, not with those little plastic hooks like
on the Vanagon.

The T3�s switches have to be removed to the back of the instrument cluster,
the Golf�s etc. switch hooks have to be pressed to release the whole switch
out to the front of the cluster...
