Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • What's this black plastic part called? T5 front sliding seat adjustment stopper?

    This is a stock standard 2010 sliding seat. This part is on either end of the adjustment lever for sliding the seat. Acts as a restrainer/stopper when not broken.
    Noticed that when sliding the seat back, this part was fouling on the battery under the seat. When I took the seat off I could see one of these parts was broken. I then managed to break the other one too
    I was going to see what I could find on ebay maybe.
    Part number might be 7HO.881.181a or 7H0.881.181a
    It might help if I knew what it was called?
    But my workshop manual doesn't go into that detail.
    Looks like I'll have to see what VW will want to charge for these.

    I suppose thinking about it a bit more, I could just use some fine tie wire to repair it?

            In my line of work it pays to dig deeper for a good price , normally when I am looking for spare parts for my sunroof work I use original part numbers . Put the number into a Google search with VW or other manufacturers brand after it and voila up pops the options for buyers , hope it helps .

              I use google and ebay searches for my own work and I had tried that but obviously not as well as you...seems I may not have been as good as I thought I was
              I must have done something very wrong and not tried hard enough because when I did it again now, it is exactly as you said. Thankyou very much again.
