Dealer only for about 20 i think. I didnt bother using one when i aligned my linkage, just marked it before i started un-doing bits and pieces.......

 

right do they have a part number?

Cheers

edit: as i cant find any on Ekta

Havent a clue mate, the dealers should know about it if you phone them. I'll have a look on ETKA in a min too and see if i can find it, save a phone call

 

yeah i have asked my dealer b4 n they said they didnt sell tools of any kind!

 

Ok, what the feck is ETKA then?!

 

The dealers computer software.

Anybody help?

 

some dealers sell em..some dont,i think mine was around 10

 

Bear in mind they're no use at all unless ALL the bushes in the linkage are unworn.....
If you get the part number, they'll sell you it.

 

Pigbladder u wanna sell it? or u get me the part no.?

Cheers

 

You don't need the tool.

Loosen the pinch bolt on the shaft in the engine bay.

Then get something 1cm thick and put it between the sticky outy arm bit on the gear stick and the left hand side plastic stop.
Then set the stickyouty bit so its 3.5cm from the front of the plastic stop.

Use a bungy cord or some gaffa tape to hold the stick and re-tighten the pinch bolt.

Sorted.

 

VW parts people ARE a bunch of tools!

 

saltus 3104 ,if you put in "vw shift tool" or something into google theres a few places selling em in usa...prob work out fairly cheep

with my new bushes and that tool my gears are sweet(shame the box has started to howl though )

 

Or if you want you can make one yourself from this diagram, but you really don't need to

 

Print out the diagram and take it to a laser cutting company,will cost around a tenner.
