If you have VAGCOM you can check the SW controller model number....
From here you can work backwards to see if the slip ring is Type 2 or 3 (only type 1 will not work)...
Do a Google search with your part number 1K0 953 54
??Removing the controller is a pain... there are clips front and rear (that you cannot see) and a "secret clip" inside. To release the secret clip I used some T&E earth wire to poke down the little hole in the front of the controller.
Repeating everthing again in the next day or two (waiting for TC
) so I will try to take some pics....
If you are local, call over I will try to give you a hand or point you in the right direction.
