You might want to start by checking all your bulbs to make sure 
that they are all working AND that they are all the right bulbs. 
Different bulbs have different amounds of current draw and the VW 
flasher senses the amount of current draw. If you have the wrong 
bulbs in there, it is possible that the current draw is not sufficient to 
get things working correctly with 2 bulbs, while 4 bulbs works fine.

This is a long shot, because the usual response to low current is 
for the flasher to blink very fast (~double time); this is a signal that 
a bulb is burned out. It is possible that you're trying to operate in 
some middle ground.

Still, the fact that the 4-way flasher works is very reassuring.

I THINK that if the turn signal lever does ANYTHING (test it in both 
directions) that means that the lever switch is okay.
