Title: Mk2 golf steering rubber boot
Post by: jimmyhodge on 19 August 2010, 09:57
Hi there guys,getting to the final bits of restro on my MK2 1.3 Golf but hit a bit of a problem. The car upon purchase was bout in abit of a state with some minor fire damage under the bonnet. This as you can gather has done done damage to all the rubber boots etc etc.

Managed to track down new steering rack boots easily however have hit a wall with trying to locate the boot which goes around the steering as it comes through the bulkhead... Not sure if you guys know which one i mean but if anyone could help with pointing me in the direction of one or know of a good VW specialist for mk2 that would be great as everyone I seem to speak to jut fob me off and claim they don't know what i'm on about ( can't be bothered to look the parts up... :angry:)

Cheers guys

Jimmy

Believe its called the steering gaitor if that helps... :undecided:

Best do both if one has gone already!
You will need two cable ties they might come with the new boots but check just in case!
They are cheap like £9-£12 for two.

I presume you mean the one that goes over the steering UJ? Dealer only it seems, about £36.

I've tried the local VW specialists and because my car is older than 2000 they seem to not be interested... Anyone recommend a dealership that'll do mail order?

Are we on about the same part as you are calling it a steering rack mount... (Rubber donut)
Only reason i ask is everyone I talk to VW related have called it a gaitor ...
Also seems very cheap for what it is.  :huh:

f**k me wish you did that in the first place......... Have no f**king idea fella, print the bloody picture and shove it up the lazy VAG dude butt, then see if he has a part number :rolleyes:
Other wise PM rubjohnny he has VAG parts list online some where just post it in the Parts number request section!

Feel free to heckle and throw insults accordingly...  :rolleyes:
Will see what I can do but there isn't a specialist VW car dealership around my area just a van centre...
Title: Re: Mk2 golf steering rubber boot
Post by: clipperjay on 21 August 2010, 11:46
Jimmy just to add insult to injury find any VAG slag center and email the picture, chassis number then get the f**k*rs to send one out to you! Go back to that link I provided you and ask them the same thing. Or try GPC just google it with golf parts

I thought there was no picture becuase the boot was on the rack which in hind sight would explain why you couldn't provide a decent picture, due to dark and cramped steering rack! :huh:
Jeez I've killed people for less grief  :grin:

Looks like the 'elephants trunk' but officially could be 'joint shaft bellows' as already given or 'boot for drive shaft' as described on ETKA. For a 1991 PB Mk2 the VW part number is 192 419 523F for right hand drive. Listred around 29GBP. Bit of a pig to get at with engine in place.

part number 192 419 523e is the non pas one :nerd:

Neo Badness,are you purchasing one of the PAS ones? The reason I ask is my wee Golf is a NON PAS one and wondered if they are the same Bellows...

Deffo discontinued, tried Keith Garages in Aylesbury on Friday, said they could get one  a few weeks back but when I went in to see them it turned out to be for PAS only.  :rolleyes:
