Any ideas on what it could be? Brake switch seems to have muttered rather a lot.

Which VW?

It is highly likely to be a faulty brake light switch had it go on my Golf a few weeks back.

Brake lamp switch is likely as suggested although there are plenty of alternatives. They cost under a tenner so might be worth a try but if you fit one yourself make sure it works properly as you have to give them a pretty firm twist in the socket to engage the internal parts.

If you don't fancy DIY, just get your local mobile diagnostic specialist guy to check it out for you.

Shouldn't be anything much hopefully. Thanks.
