dechroming by dsg logo
« on: 13 April 2009, 07:47 »
Out of warranty.

Just felt a little roughness at the end of my knob.... :shocked a closer examination shows a the tiniest of blemishes in the "chrome". I can see the plastic underneath. I think over time it may get shabby, I don't like shabby  :sick:

Pics will follow but no camera just now, it's on holiday with the mrs to Manhatten.

Is it possible to replace just the knob part of the DSG shifter or is it a whole stick replacement at some wallet hurting cost?

Not the same but my handbrake button is dechroming also.  Started to feel a bit rough and looked down to see dull plastic.  Can i replace just the button????

Thanks for the linky....£275 plus vat! Jeez! Looks like it's a easy self fit though, think I'll be looking on the bay or at the breakers. Or, just learn to live with the slight imprefection at the bell end of my knob  :laugh: :laugh:

IIRC, that was a price in $......

Not that much difference though :(

i have the odd one going for 50 notes on fleabay. it's quite easy to replace too. Just a trim removal plastic wedgy thing and some torx screws. unplug the old one, plug in the new one, screw in and click back into place. did see a tutorial somewhere and if i find it i'll post the link.
