That won't do a 16v because its for a rod change and the 16v is cable change

I'm not sure. I think you can buy a linkage kit for the cable change. But I've only read that and never seen one. My old gti gear change was horrible but my new one is alright considering its done 150k.

Cheers bud! no snowflakes will be sold as there only 4stud. I so have a set of rx2s to go on, I've split them and shot blasted one, just gotta get motivated to do the rest lol
