No part number for the ball but the relay shaft (including the ball) is 191 711 173 B.

went into VW today and asked for this part, they wanted to charge me £49+VAT i almost choked on my chewing gum when he said the price!!

what a joke!! im going to ask GSF and look on ebay, if anyone has a link to this part on ebay it would be really helpful.

Cheers

gsf one fits liek pants, the slotted end doesn't fit the lever. need to file it down, or what i did was yank the ball off it and fit to the VAG lever. need to peen the end of the shaft a little to hold it on once swapped over so it doesnt fall off again

hard to explain :grin:

theres a lip on the end which holds the ball on, if its old this lip may have worn away. so you use a hammer and thick punch or similar to carefully tap the edge of the lip out a bit to stop the ball falling off.

does that make any sense?
