8vMatt 1 Posted September 2, 2011 Hi guys, During my talks with the company that has sent me the headlight switches, I asked them for a catalog of all their VW parts they make. Looking through it, I saw a potential leather gear knob that had an OEM number starting with 535. That's a Corrado prefix isn't it? If that is the right knob for us (oo-er!) Would anyone want one? Are they still available from VW? If so, how much are they? Let us know what you think. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted September 2, 2011 The leather ones were available from VW about 12 months ago (I bought one). I don't have the number to hand but it was pricey, I think it came in at about £27. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted September 2, 2011 I bought a leather one from VW about 1 month ago. Approx £35. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted September 2, 2011 That looks familiar :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted September 2, 2011 Hmmm, sounds quite pricey then. I'm sure I could get them better than that. I'll email the company for details over the weekend and see what the score is. Might not even be able to get them. Could someone find the part number please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8vMatt 1 Posted September 2, 2011 I've had another look and the VW number is 191 711 141B. Can someone find out what car this was fitted to please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted September 2, 2011 i got mine off ebay was about £30 delivered, but was a while ago and think it came from Germany, i didn't realise you could buy them from VW....lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SethVR6 0 Posted September 2, 2011 The leather VR6 ones are definitely 357711141A1BX. I paid £36 for one (VAG) in March this year and it was worth every penny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted September 2, 2011 I will have a look at my receipt over the weekend and confirm the part number of the one I bought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toledo 0 Posted December 13, 2011 interested if this happens, i bought the one offered to me from my dealer but it was a G60 / mk2 gti one ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odub 0 Posted December 24, 2011 i'm also interested in this. mine is a bit shabby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted December 24, 2011 I've not progressed this as all that was on offer was the plastic knob. I didn't think there would be much interest in them. Tell me if I'm wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
