Sooo.....today I broke down
« on: 29 December 2011, 13:55 »
Going up a hill earlier, pulled in to let a car go down the hill, tried to select first heard a little noise and suddenly no gears :angry:

Managed to roll the car back onto the pavement so it was out of the way and took a look at the gear linkage:



As you can see, something's not quite right :rolleyes:

On closer examination one of the 3 prongs is missing:



Managed to stick the car in 1st and limp it home....waiting for VW to ring me back with a price for the part now.

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

To be fair you will have to order the TT part in - no good if you need the car + i bet its not £20 any more - Vag scene tax  :grin:
