Title: Removing DSG gaitor?
Post by: p3eps on 11 April 2010, 10:19

A simple question...
On my MK5 Manual car, I could simply put my hand into the gear gaitor beside the ashtray area, and gently pull - which lifted the whole gaitor up.  It allowed me to access the 2 screws that hold the ashtray in place.

I want into this area again for fitting my Micro Road Pilot in the ashtray again - but this time I will have DSG.  Is it the same method? Can I just pull it off?!

Just get a trim removal tool to lift the it from the front (nearest to the hand brake level) and the whole plastic piece around the DSG selector will pop out  :smiley:

So it just comes off the same - I just don't have the soft gaitor bit to put my hand in?
I have some trim type tools, so I should manage without wrecking it  :rolleyes:
Thanks!

I took mine off ages ago to have a little nosy into the wiring. The best way I found was to slide my fingers into the Gaiter next to 'S' and pull the Gaiter up from there. It takes a wee tug and then it just comes up and off. to replace just put it back down and push down. Done it loads of times and never any probs.
