Ignition Switch-Old V New Style

[ExplorerLyon]

I pulled the ignition switch from my 01. Part number is 4B0 905 849. The body is white. Do I have the original or the newer style? I have found conflicting information on the internet and it lead me to ordering the wrong switch (I ordered 4A0...thinking I have the original older style.

PedrosGarage: On Model year 2004 and newer cars, the ignition switch was upgraded and is different from the one described above. the new Audi part number for this upgraded switch is 4B0 905 849. Pedro's references 4A0...as the early switch.

PelicanParts: If you are replacing only the electrical portion of one of the early steering locks, then use part number 4B0-905-849. Pelican references 4A0 as the later model switch.

Edit: Finding other parts supplies that also reference the 4B0-905-849 as the newer style and the 4A0... as the older. Maybe Pelican has it wrong on their website.
