You CAN replace the 'Door Open' micro-switch in the door latch.

I also have a 2002 TT 1.8 225HP. Also have a bad microswitch. The plunger is just cracked and half gone. I checked the Alibaba links above, but the item is no longer available. I found this one on ebay. It does not say it works with the 02 TT, but it looks very simliar. Does anyone know if this will work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/203099900832. By the way, when removing the latch assembly, I didn't loosen the lock on the door (or anything like that). I just unhooked the cable. I hope it goes back on OK.

See my post on 08-12-2014. I used a switch with a little metal "flap". It's a better design where the plunger of the switch doesn't get stressed. You do have to get a little creative with the installation, though. I used plastic epoxy. 7 years later and it's still working!

I don’t remember covering the bottom but you don’t want anything to short, of course.
