Hi,

I am trying to help my eldest tighten up his shifter in his mk4 2001 1J1 1.6 golf, He recently picked it up and it came with the sloppy gearbox. I have put a bush kit through a Ford laser before and thought it might be similar ... It isn't

We have the car up...

Hi Folks.

Golf GTI Manual 2010.

i'm struggling to get revers gear selected and the shifter is very loose could the bushes be to blame here?

if so where do i go for them? VAG want to sell me a $1200 new gear shift and linkages

Many Thanks

I replaced the standard gear shift knob with a more modern version. It's the same as my wife's MY22 Tiguan R-Line shifter, except with perforated leather trim.






It was really difficult to get the old one out for some reason - maybe I was just being too...

Hi all

Having battery drain issues with the MK5 GTI here. I haven't driven it much in the past few months since I've mainly been WFH, however am required to drop the little one off at school now since they are back 5 days a week.

I haven't had too much success with starting...

G'day all,

Is there an easy way for me to add a switch in the cab that tricks the system into thinking I'm reversing so I can see the rear camera view while driving forwards?

I've had a look behind the display, and in the gear shifter and there's nothing that's obvious...

I have an automatic MK5 (2.0FSI) Golf. I can't get the **** knob off to replace the Shift gaiter.
Looking online it seems very easy - pull out the shift button until it clicks and then pull up and the knob while pulling down on the gaiter. This doesn't work at all. No matter how hard I pull...

Hi guys

Noticed the other night that the shifter, light switch and sunroof switch light stayed on after locking the vehicle for some time. Never noticed this previously so was wondering if there may be a potential issue?

Hi

Anybody out there add a paddle extension (not stick on ones) to an RLine 206 B8 Passat and if so where did you get them.

Used DSG shift knob from a Scirocco R with grey stitching. In great condition apart from slight chip in the silver at the top and slight wear in the centre leather strip. Also comes with a replacement chrome strip for the centre and has carbon fiber covers on the sides too.

Ive spent the last few months trawling the internet trying to find a replacement bushing ( or a photo so I can make one) for the bottom of the shifter in my 00' MK4 1.6. Pretty much every search points to a different style of shifter than mine. The part number (de1j0711149) on the shifter brings up...

I'm trying to find a step by step guide on how to do the swap, but can't find anything really concrete.

I know that the shaft for the shifter has to be modified due to the angle differences.

Hi all,

Now that my Golf is gone I have several parts left over.


Golf GT front grill set (all black), upper, lower and both fog grills $200.

Hatch release brand new in box (the later 3D version) $100.

Brushed silver auto shifter surround...

Noticed a strange issue with the PRNDS lights on the shifter, the backlighting has become much duller than usual to the point where it's almost not noticeable. Only noticed it after swapping the stock Mk5 R32 shifter to a Mk6 Scirocco R shifter.

Scanned the car and there's no error codes...

Hi all,

Been trying to get some parts off mk5s at the wreckers but I need to remove the DSG shift knob and from every DIY I can find this involves being able to move the shifter. All the ones at the wreckers are 'locked' and can't be moved as the car has no power. Is there a way to unlock...
