Hello, this might be difficult considering we are located in the US, but what vacuum switch are you referring to? The Intake Air Control valve? Does it have a 2-wire connector on it? Can you take a picture of it and post it here please?

Good morning,

I know it would be difficult but if you would be able to get it for me what is the possibility of shipping it?

And yes, it is the intake valve it works with the thermostat doesn't have wires.

Yes, I see it's a thermos switch, where do the 2 vacuum lines run to? From the diagrams I see it looks like it's a ported vacuum line going from the throttle body to the Evap Purge valve, which will open and allow vacuum to pull the vapor from the gas tank once the engine gets up to operating temperature. But it's difficult to tell. There is no way we could send one all the way to south Africa. We are just an online diagnostic site.
You have internet access you can have someone possibly send one from eBay or maybe Amazon. But we don't sell parts, I'm sorry.
