Stu92 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi all just picked up my new 53 GTI style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Only thing is the leather trim around the gearstick looks wrong. It just grey leather, and not black leather with the red stitching. Going through the vehicle history there is a receipt for work completed on a "fit piece of centre console trim" under warranty. The part number with this is 6N0864291BC81. So have thye previous replaced the trim with the wrong trim??? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Also does anybody know the part number for the correct trim??

tdwindustries Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I know that later GTI's had some penny pinching - instead of leather they used a plastic leather effect with bobbles on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu92 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Thats exactley what it looks like, leather effect. Doesn't seem to match the rest of the interior style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> Going to change to the black with red stitching once I find out the part number.

AndyW Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Any chance you can post a close up picture stu, clearly showing your gear knob. If you excuse the poor phrase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The part number you've got is for the domed piece of plastic that goes under where the handbrake is, if you see what I mean.Number 34 in this diagram: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />For the gearshift gaitor (I presume that's what you mean), the only one listed for the GTI is:6X0 711 118 AE QUZ gearstick knob (leather) with boot for gearstick lever (leatherette) black/red.Not sure if that helps or not style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj10 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 tw*ts!! the brochure still says it's leather........!!But the 'leather trim' disclaimer kills me.....

Snoopy Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Mine was like that (I think!) and it was a Nov 2001 car...Does anyone have (or has had) a leather gaitor on a 6-speed GTI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Never noticed they were different until now, I've driven older GTi's and I suppose I wasn't paying enough attention. Just to rub it in, can any of the older, classier leathered GTi owners post a nice comparison pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D7 YME Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 The part number you've got is for the domed piece of plastic that goes under where the handbrake is, if you see what I mean.Number 34 in this diagram: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />For the gearshift gaitor (I presume that's what you mean), the only one listed for the GTI is:6X0 711 118 AE QUZ gearstick knob (leather) with boot for gearstick lever (leatherette) black/red.Not sure if that helps or not style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><{POST_SNAPBACK}>If I go into VW will I be able to order the orginal leather gear surround coz I have the same probblem and on my %" plate gti I had the proper one with the red stiching god I miss it like hell the new ones are horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Personally, I like the new one, but it needs red stitching. I'll get Sarah to get her sowing kit out when we go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 My 52 6 speeder also has leather with red stitching.Now - the handbrake... do later ones have a silver chrome knob and 'leatherette', or has my dealer replaced my old leather one with a black chrome button with the wrong one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) My handbrakes got a black knob (snigger snigger), the same sort of material that is on lines the top of the instrument housing. I think Audi call it 'piano black' trim.The leather on the handbrake is a bit crappy, so wouldn't be surprised if it was leatherette. So you've got a shiney metal knob john? (jesus, they just keep coming)Edited to say, despite the knob references, I was asking seriously style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.

bossjohnc Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well yes, the end of my knob fell off!! (more probably the dealer knocked it off / stole it to put on their own car) when it was in for a service. So I had the whole lot replaced.Instead of leather, I have leatherette with perforations in it, and now a sliver knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Don't think it has any perforations, just plain flat leather. And certainly no silver knobs. Sounds to me like they've fitted the wrong one. Post a pic of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu92 Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 You can still order the black leather with red stitching. I did it today with snoops part number above (Cheers mate style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> )Should get it next week from VW, it cost £38 which prodably doesn't include VAT.
