graham1971 10 Posted March 16, 2017 I'll definitely take one please, seeing how hard they are to source it'd be silly not to! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spen 0 Posted March 16, 2017 Hi misterbeck, my original was stuck on with some glue, some thin double sided tape would also work. Currently going through Maplin's entire range of small bulbs!... will keep you posted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graham1971 10 Posted March 16, 2017 Gessss its difficault to work round that site... has anyone seen the shifter for the Corrado on there? Mine is somewhat had it :( Use your browser settings to translate the page to English, it's easier to search using part numbers if you know them.

spen 0 Posted March 16, 2017 Sorry, yes the strip does illuminate if you have a bulb that works! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red McGregor 10 Posted March 16, 2017 I think the part number could be 191927149C I got mine from the USA last year but it was a struggle - this may also be of help http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6881816-Gear-Indicator-light Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted March 16, 2017 I don't believe everything is listed, should be able to tell you if obsolete or they can get from Germany. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ed_d82 11 Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Graham, looks promising - thanks for sharing. When removing my surround it has a different part no. shown in photo - is your car a post 93 model/VR6? Or does your existing one have the same part no. as mine? [ATTACH=CONFIG]85551[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misterbeck 10 Posted March 16, 2017 I just ordered one of the trims part no. 536 863 209 J 4FB. But instead of ordering from Volkswagen Classic Parts in Germany for €102 euros (including €35 euros delivery charge) I got one of the guys at VW Heritage to order if for me from Volkswagen Classic Parts, Germany instead. They quoted me £43.00 including delivery. They had a total of 3 of these items left in stock. Now only 2 remaining. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's crazy considering they wanted 180 euros plus postage for it before I emailed them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misterbeck 10 Posted March 16, 2017 I made an order at 9.30am this morning for €102 euros and realised that i could have done it cheaper through Heritage and so Volkswagen Classic in Germany let me cancel my original order and said they would return the payment. I then got onto Heritage to get them to order it. Maybe you have still got time to cancel your order if it hasn't already been dispatched. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted March 16, 2017 It was marked as despatched this morning 💩 I'll try asking heritage what price they can get parts from VW classic for before I order in future! Still happy overall though because had they not reduced it I would have paid a lot more! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted March 16, 2017 Generally you don't pay the huge delivery cost of classic part but you may have wait longer from heritage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted March 22, 2017 Mine came today with some air ducting from under the dash that I bought from Graphite. Fitted both when I got home from work, ducting was fiddly but both jobs make a big difference! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
