Urgent help needed.
« on: 16 April 2009, 19:19 »
Reference this post of my hydraulic clutch drama...

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=112628.0

Can, I find the correct parts...? Can I fcuk!!

This is the part that came out and there are no reference marks or part numbers on it.




And this is the part that I bought using the part number on the post above. 1H1721401




This is obviously the wrong part ad I don´t want to even try to make it fit in case of damaging it and not being able to return it. The slave cylinder I have replaced with no fuss or drama, athough the body of it is alloy rather than steel.

Can anyone identify the 1st photo? It is the master cylinder for my Golf G60 shed. Does anyone recognise it as maybe belonging to another car such as  Passat, Corrado, or even another later Golf? If I don't get this done by tomorrow, then I will miss out on the Oxford meet next weekend! :cry:

I have had the offending part apart and the bore is very corroded, thus the reason why its knackered.

Have you checked at either GSF/ECP or even a main dealer for the part number I listed?

GSF is where I originally got a part, but returned it as it was wrong, and the second item photo'd is a ECP item. Main dealer was also a no go. :sad:

How was the main dealer a no go?

You need to find the right sort of person in a dealer...

I've PMed someone on Classic Audi who might be able to help....

Reply from a dealer contact, when asked for the details, based on the model of car:

Quote
Part number 357721401 only left hand drive cars,
checked with VW group, no dealers showing, and no stock at VWuk, also went obsolete 1/09/08
sorry, but if you try some german contacts, it would probably still be available in the Father land

Sorry I can help more, I refer you to my PM from last night.....

You could always convert to cable-actuated clutch.  This would mean fitting a standard G2 pedal box and buying about £60-70 of much-easier-to-get-bits to complete the system.

other option is swap to the later passat/corrado pedal box and cylinder, though I dont know if its an easy fit in a MK2 G60. I'd assume it is though, unless VW changed the chassis on the rado/passat same time the pedal box changed
