Welcome,

get yourself in the mk2 section and perhaps the garage section with your issues, plenty of help there.

Also try the search function as most things have been covered over the years.

If it's what I'm thinking it's the flange. I bought mine from GSF last year and you can pick them up on e-bay too.

Not sure if VW still do them though?

Check out my previous post...
