These switches are a common problem I believe. Mine had similar fault and I replaced the switch. They are still available from VW dealers and although I cant remember the exact cost I dont think it was very expensive.
They are easy to fit but you need to take care when removing the heater control facia as the retaining pins are prone to breaking off. You need to lever it gently at the right hand top and left hand bottom close to the pins.
