Remind me never to buy a mk3 with a mk4 gear knob
« on: 30 June 2009, 15:59 »
Just did a search on changing a mk4 gear knob  :smug: (Im getting better Rhys)  :laugh:

Anyway in one of  the searches this came up

"Normally peeps cut an inch or two of the gear stick to simulate a short shift & then the knob is just glued on! "

Feck me Im no mechanic but talk about bodge it and son.....  :shocked:

Glad I dont have a Mk3 and ask for advice over there :shocked:

I noticed this earlier in the "mods for under £100 quid thread" - or it might have been the link to UK mkiv's within the thread:shocked: Unbelievable what some people will do lol
