Scirocco Register

I was having a poke around under the bonnet when I saw something I hadnt noticed before on the gearbox.

It was a light brown coloured plastic nut.

So naturally I had a fiddle. It seemed to be spring loaded, If I pulled it up it would unscrew. So I unscrewed it and now it wont go back on.

underneath this nut was a pin type thing, a spring and a sleeve.

I have taken some photos to help.

Dont mind the spilt coolant, Ive just been changing pipes.

Cheers Guys

Nut sat where it should attach


How it looks not fitted with pin, spring and sleeve in.


Nut


Pin, spring and sleeve

I think I may have solved my own mystery.

I'm hoping its a blank for the reversing light switch on cars with no MFA.

Which if it is may come in handy as I have never been able to get mine working even after buying a new switch.
