Stu92 Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Glad you got the right one stu, let us know what you think, with a pic.So, 6X0 711 118 AE QUZ is the leather with red stitching, whats the part number for the current gaitor, just so theres no confusion?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thats the part number I used, its for a 6speed only. I haven't seen it yet, but I described to the sales guy what I was looking for and why, gave him the part number. And after thumbing through his computer he said thats the correct one.Don't know the part number for the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu92 Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well the gaitor came today, and I'm a bit disapointed. The probs it, a darker grey to the one i have got, and is the same leathrette (sp?), and comes with red stitching. So it is better looking than the one I have got, since it matches the interior a bit more.But still isn't as quality looking as diamondblack's picture above ie proper black leather with red stitching.Next Q. Anyone know how to fit it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 When i've got 5 mins i'll take mine off and get the part number for it just for clarification for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) @ BossJCMy car had a plain black leather handbrake handle and has the black button. Recovered the handbrake in red when did my re-trim...the standard cover is tissue thin...real crap...more like vinyl then leather!The black leather gear gaitor is cheepo really as well, if you compared it to the leather of my retrim the VW stuff is really penny pinchingly thin...and more expensive may I add.Edited as its early and my typing was rubbish.

db Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well the code printed on the back of my gaitor is as follows and matches none of the above. However my car is a 5-speed but i really cant see that making any difference to the gaitor.6X0 711 118K 10X although the X could be a K as it's faded slightly.

Stu92 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well the mystery deepens took the old gaitor off to check part number and it's the same as the new one, but look different?!pic of new one, border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Hopefully they will take it back.

db Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) Blimey, that looks completeley different to mine, even the knob part at the end is different (different colour and material), plus the gaitor doesn't even look black. At least it makes me appreciate mine more. Edited July 24, 2005 by Diamondblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they won't take it back then maybe. Good luck, hope they do take it back because I'm curious to see what the £70 one is like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 the thing you have to remember is that vw don't always print the right part number on the part, and this is stop companies that produce pattern parts from providing inferior parts and claim they are vw genuine!!i'm using the latest version of ekta at work, and the numbers i have are as follows:5-Speed 6x0 711 118 r mcg - black/red leather £54.10 + VAT6-Speed6x0 711 118 n mcg - gearstick knob with boot for gearstick lever (leather) black £71.98 + vat6X0 711 118 AE QUZ - gearstick knob (leather) with gearstick trim (leatherette) black/red £33.93 + vati have checked these numbers against all the years the lupo has been out, and they are relevant to all gti's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu92 Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Not going to bother now £82 (inc vat) is just mad for a bit og black leather and it doesn't have the red piping unlike the 5 speed. Going to see how much it will cost when i get the doorcards retrimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scirocco Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi all just picked up my new 53 GTI style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Â style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Â 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??<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
