Looks like you've been handling it over-enthusiastically - any problems with your vision recently?  :grin:

I'd put some cream on that, or natural yoghurt!

Seriously now, I'd get it swapped out.

Mine's not crinkly - but that's because mine has a mind of its own (oo..err again!) DSG :wink:

i forgot to tell you i had checked mine, its a little crinckled but not like yours, i guess when you consider they are wrapped around a ball they will crinckle a little, see what they say though, and see what new knob looks like

The dealer agreed it wasn't right and I should have a new knob in my hands in a few days (never thought I'd say that  :laugh:)

Must thank everyone for their 'constructive' input  :grin:

Mine looks nothing like that....yours looks like it's got leather wrapped round it?  Mine has dimples on it but is just a plastic golf ball style.

Golfgirl, Is yous DSG? I've looked at a couple of those and as the 'knob' itself is bigger it is alot smoother.

I'll post some pics of the new one when fitted.

No, mine's a manual.

(http://i4.tinypic.com/10erbf7.jpg)

I still can't understand why the pics posted (of the manual knob and the above DSG knob) look like they're wrapped in leather when mine is quite clearly plastic.

I'm going out in a bit so will have a real close up look then just to double check.

Well I've been out and inspected my knob :nerd:  It turns out that it IS leather despite me thinking otherwise but there's no wrinkles on it so there's plenty of life left in it!


Ohh golf girl just noticed you got a pic I took as your sig!

Yeh, I thought it was a pretty cool pic - hope you don't mind :wink:

Me? Yes I've got an Edition 30 as in my sig.
