The switch looks alright in appearance, but as Tommy said why is it not straight? How did you manage to get it misaligned? The zero should be at top dead centre. There are some good second hand genuine VW ones to be found on ebay at less than £20.00.

I think it's actually a Passat one or something - they are chinese made, but there are chinese ones that fit too.

My wifes Touran has one like that, and I have the correct one in mine, both from china.

They are hard plastic, and don't peel like the VW ones.
