VR6STEVE H 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi guys. First post on this forum! I've just picked up my VR6 yesterday and as with most cars there are one or two 'tidying' jobs to attend to. One of them is to replace the worn gearstick/boot gaiter. It's leather and goes over the top and forms part of the gear knob? I've been to a couple of local dealers and they can't identify the part. The car is a standard VR, registered 15/12/97.Can anyone help? :^) Cheers,Steve. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6STEVE H 0 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks for that mate.Unfortunately the 'main stealer' cannot find a part number for it.Anyone on the forum have it?I've seen one on the Awesome GTI website. Has anyone used it?CheersSteve (@) Link to post Share on other sites
caddyrage 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Dont know the part number but i do remember they £80+ as its an all in 1 part. Bit steep to me. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6STEVE H 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks CaddyrageYour information is spot on. It is the gear knob combined with gaiter.I've sorted it today. Tried another dealer and the parts lad knew his stuff.The part number for reference is; 1HO711118M1BX. It was 70.47 + VAT.A bit steep I know but it made the interior look shabby.CheersSteve Link to post Share on other sites
pete23 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have one in very good condition if you are interested.Make me an offer Link to post Share on other sites
VR6STEVE H 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Just an update on this.I've now fitted the part as mentioned above. It is slightly different in as much as the numbers on the gear knob are in silver with clear plastic over them. Not all black like the original, but a lot better than the worn out one.CheersSteve Link to post Share on other sites
