Will the Mk3 indicator cam fit a MK5 ?

Hi, will the Mk3 indicator cam fit a MK5 ? Need to renew but only ones for sale (new) I can find are MK3. Picture looks very similar but does anybody actually know?

Hi,frankieboy231!
Google translates your words "indicator cam" as a "flywheel".
If we are talking about the flywheel, then they are the same on MK3 and MK5.
If we are talking about timing gear pulleys, then they are different.

Hi gotcoalman, yes but for a MK5, only new ones I can find are Mk3.

Hello Cherniy_chak, no the indicator cam sits on the streering column and cancels the indicator after turning.

frankieboy231,I understood what was at stake.
I do not know.

I looked at the Elkats these cams-turn signal switches.
For models MK3, MK4 and MK5 they have the same partomer: 6 171 210.
MK3 and MK4 are absolutely identical, for MK5 may have minor differences in the design.

In Transit Mk3 cam-direction indicator have two different numbers:
- 1631493 (86VB-13318-AA), period 1985-11-15 - 1986-08-15 - but it is prenatal period for Transit Mk3, it wasn't on the market.
- 6171210 (87VB-13318-AB), period 1986-08-15 - 1991-08-15

In Transit Mk5 is still the second one:
- 6171210 (87VB-13318-AB), period 1994-08-15 - 2000-08-15.

So - they should be the same.

Today lifted steering wheel on my MK5, found the cam and compared it to a Mk3 cam - It's exactly the same.

Problem sorted - many thanks all.
