Broken Diff lock knob

Post by **tk76** » 27 Dec 2008, 01:21

Hi all,

I've stupidly managed to pull the front diff lock knob on my syncro a bit too hard and its come right off the lever and the thread's stripped out

Any ideas what i could do or where i could get a new one?

Cheers

You may find that only VW dealers authorised for commercial vehicles will sell parts for T25's. Just phone around.

Great, thanks..I'll be on the look out.

OK, in keeping with the thread its probably a good idea to ask how to exactly to engage the front lock... I remember being told you need to twist and turn the lever then drive straight until it engages and the light turns on, am i right? i cant remember

It's the same knob as Golf II Diesel had for the choke.

new in stock here, they are a beetle part originally, if the front one strips try swapping them over, the front with idiot lock uses less thread than the rear one so the undamaged bit of one will engage with the other, but be prepared to find that they have already been swapped and one is stuffed both ways now.

i followed someone's advice on thesamba.com and filled the hole in with epoxy repair then drilled another hole and thread in it.. works fine now
