Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #122 – July 31, 2021, 06:16:40 PM Right again... if I'd stuck up the piccie of the rod from the gearbox here and not elsewhere would you have guessed it?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #124 – July 31, 2021, 06:58:56 PM The starter bush?I was going to ask how do you get the old one out, mines stuck fast. Not sure if it's through age or they're pressed in - either way can't see how to get any purchase on it without risking damaging the aluminium of the bell housing in the process.

Got a pic somewhere, it made a mess and the bush came out in a few bits but worked.I thought I was either that or the collar/spacer from seat belt mount. But they are more good and this looked brass.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #126 – August 01, 2021, 12:12:41 PM Apparently there's a dedicated VW tool for removing these (VW 228 B) but they're a shocking amount of money and you'd need to be using it regularly to justify the cost.Found this set up for less than £15 on Amazon - you can pay much, much more for the exact same thing elsewhere, so shop around.Described as a blind hole bearing puller - does the same thing with the advantage of coming with additional sized tips.I've probably the MK1 to do as well so went ahead and got it to see how it goes... the point the bush is sited looks very vulnerable to me, last thing I need is to break or crack the bell housing - will keep you posted.

Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #132 – August 04, 2021, 09:23:07 AM Screw block thingy, square peg goes into square hole in metal, retaining screw can then be screwed into the round hole.There's a few of these I'm sure but I'm going to take a gamble on this being in the tailgate for boot lock handle.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #133 – August 04, 2021, 10:16:44 AM You're right!As far as I know, this particular type is only on the tailgate plinth, as the others are smaller.
