Title: Gear stick gaiter
Post by: Woldddd on January 06, 2015, 08:16:23 pm
Hi, I'm after the part jumber for a new gear stick gaiter for a manual and mine has a slight Mark on it. Also does anybody know how much the gaiter is new from vw? Thanks

A lot... You'll probably be better off buying a used, good condition one on here or something.

Dont think you can buy the gaitor separate from the knob. When I asked VW for a price for just the knob they said it came all as one part and it was around £200 for it!!

Wow... I ordered a gaiter from ebay but it wasn't a genuine one, I think you can imagine how bad it is   :signLOL: looks like I'll just have to buy a gear knob and take the gaiter off then, thanks guys

Think All mk5 manual golf gaitors are the same mate, i recently purchased a genuine Vw gaitor off ebay which included a 6 speed gear knob and the grey plastic trim surround, think it was a Gt tdi item as exactly same as one fitted to the missus 2007 Gt140
Paid £36 for it delivered, i only needed the grey plastic trim as mine was scratched so just unclipped it and clipped it onto mine

Still have the knob and leather gaitor boxed up in garage somewhere!

Fook, just checked ebay and none of one i bought on there now but also they all seem very expensive even for tatty used ones  :sick:
Will dig out the paperwork for one i bought for u shortly and maybe you could contact the seller to see if he has access to any more!

Thanks mate, or even if you are doing nothing with the gaiter in your garage and it's in good condition I could sort you out?
