I'm after the rubber gaitor that sits over the UV joint (where the rack meets the coloum)
GSf have fully sold out and its obsolete with VW.. Been looking on Ebay for about 3 months too.
Any pointers as mine is in the bin and long gone.

The same one also fits the Mark 1 Scirocco and the Mark 1 golf according to ETKA - Part number 172419523.
When did it go obsolete from VW?

I bought one from the local VW specialaist only a few months ago - brand new VW stock with picking note etc so it must be fairly recently that its gone obselete.

They said they're are only 5 on the entire system and they're one which have been sent to dealships so could be sold.

Here you go.

Did someone on here say Chubnut9999 was CGP or something with 3 letter, might be worth calling them direct.
Mine on the Golf has been split a few years now and its not failed the MOT yet, I have a replacment but not fitted it yet.

I've seen that, but £35 delivered for a bit of rubber? I can't justfy that.
