Rang up the dealers today and ordered it. 9 left in the country and only cost 3.33 quid-result!
When fitting, is it just a case of pushing it in? Only reason I ask is that the original one popped out again yeasterday and we had knocked it in with a hammer beforecf_emoticons__BangHead:

Might be useful if the new bearing doesn't fix your problem.

The collar thing was something we had already discussed as a way to fix it if the new bearing doesnt work! Last resort hopefully

Picked up the bearing tonight, all good and is the right one. Went to my mates and had a look at the lower end of his steering column only to realize that my lower spring is missingcf_emoticons__BangHead:God knows how the bearing has stayed in for the last few years as we definitely never removed itI had a look on ebay for lower steering column springs and got a couple of results, but one spring seems too long and the other seems too short! Is the lower spring supposed to go through the bearing I have just bought? As you can tell im very confused about this and could really do with a technical drawing or someone to explain it, as im really stuckPlease help!

1:Thrust Ring
Which way round does it fit? does the narrower end fit onto the spring?
2: Bearing:
a/ VAG have provided me with 2 different parts I
does anyone know which part is the one I want? Secondly should these fit within the outer steering column as both are a very tight fit (and if so how far in) and the black one on the right has a metal collar which will restrict how far it can be inserted?

i cant see the pics can you host them somewhere? or email them to me at my username @lineone.net
the metal one appears to be 171419517B as per a google search which is the one you need if so, i dont know which way it goes but id assume you want the narrow end in first pushed in untill the lip hits the bottom of the column tube. then fit the column tube, then pop the thrust washer in to take up any play between the column and the bearing. then fit spring, then fit uj
