Title: Quick question...
Post by: WhiteGTI on February 10, 2009, 03:49:13 pm
Does anyone know how much an ED30 manual gear knob is from the dealer?

And also, can you provide the part number?

Much obliged!

Chris.  :happy2:

last time i spoke to vw speed, they said they didn't have any and probably won't for a while. The euro exchange rate has changed everything for them.

isnt it about to become the std fit knob for the mk6 gti, so in theory it will become much cheaper then?

....And hopefully won't have the red stitching which only looks good in an Ed30. Imo.
