Mk1 Campaign Golf Ball Gear Knob

Hi All,

After a bit of fact hunting here. My gear knob had cracked and broken and needs relacing. I have the one which has numbers 1 to 5 on it. When I went to my VW main dealer, I was told the one I should have has an E (Economy) where 5th is.

What I want to know is which gear knob I should have by seeing what all you toher campaign owners have!!

All help greatly appreciated!!

Cheers

Nope should be a "5" not an "E". All Mk1 & Mk2 5-speed GTi use the same part.

Definitely a '5'. VW dealers eh? What do they know!  

Cheers,

Drew.

The knob with the 4 + E is not golf ball shaped, the golf ball one is obsolete now im afraid. Trimsport do a silver one or bide your time on ebay  

Hi Kev,

As I needed a gear know I bought the 'E' one to be getting on with and it is a golf ball - so not sure what one I have then!! Any guesses!!?

Cheers

Mmmm on etka it shows it as the other type, was it 191711141C 01C ?? On the mk2 golf etka it shows a golf ball with 1-5 & R which is 191711141B 01C for only ?5.15. :?  I have just ordered one to see what appears on saturday. I will let you know what comes in

The part number on the sticker that is on the packaging is: - 171 711 141 A 01C.

Any help as I think must have a completely wrong knob!!! lol!!

Cheers

I would guess at that being a SA knob - as far as I know four speeds here had only the ball with no gate information.

You can take them apart.

The clear bit fits into a slot in the rubber ball bit.

Inside is a black round disc with the gate pattern drawn on in silver.

I have a five speed one which currently resides in the my old dial phone!

So if you can get hold of the ball and clear plastic bit you can put whatever you like in there.

Picture of the wife perhaps?

Peter.

so you can change the clear plastic top?
As i manages to crack mine this morning. Gear knob felt loose turned it CRACK!  ARRR!!! ops:

Yeah if you can find a spare.

If you tighten the knob too much it pushes the plastic insert up through the knob and splits it.

Ow.

Peter.

OK
The knob looks fine.
I will take it off and check inside though.
oh well another bit too try and find LOL.

As I needed a gear know I bought the 'E' one to be getting on with and it is a golf ball - so not sure what one I have then!! Any guesses!!?

The golf ball gear knob with 4+E was fitted to Mk1 and Mk2 GTD models. Take it back to the dealer if you don't want it.
