S3 Quickshifter - part number?
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:38:16 am »
Was talking to vrstu about forge quickshifter and he said he had an Audi OEM one on his old S3 which was cheaper and just as good.

Does anyone else have experience of the OEM one on a golf and if so the correct part number? If not will give Audi main stealer a buzz in week.

Cheers.

It's the OEM S3 shifter not a upgrade for the S3.  Thinking on you might be right about the ED30 already having the shorter item.

I fitted it to my Octavia's.

Thats what i mean, the standard S3 item is the same as the standard ed30 item

8J0 711 046 E is the latest version, which has superseded the B version

Lol - I've just got the same result.

I dug out an old invoice which was for a B revision and you are correct, it is now the part number you posted.  :notworthy:

sorry, to clarify then, is this already fitted to the ED30 or is this a revised, improved part?  :confused:

cheers stu. Sooo next question is it worth parting with hard earned for a forge quickshifter or will this really only be a worthwhile mod for non ED30 Gti owners?

Yes, it's the same. Fitted on TT (optional) and S3/ED30 as well.
