S2T Replacement DSG Paddle Shifters Group Buy

[technopato]

Hi All,

As many of you know. There was originally a group buy successfully organized and completed by Coreying for these shmick looking S2T DSG Paddle Shifters.

I am in the process of arranging for another one. Hence the start of this new thread to drum up interest again.

No ETA at this stage until we have a minimum of 10 buyers ready to go.

Link to the previous group buy with pics and details HERE!!

So far we have the following interested parties:

Technopato - 2 Pairs - Black
Jayse - 1 Pair - Black
Mulry - 1 Pair - Black (Vwgolf.net.au member)
Deano646 - 1 Pair - Black

Bump on this one y'all.... Good time now with the AUD/USD so high!!

Was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday! How do we get people fired up and into action??

[technopato]

Issue is i think all of the interest for these went with the first group buy. But if we are willing to wait it out another 2-3 weeks we should be okay.
The aussie $$ will be going up a little further anyway.
Good time to buy even more goodies!!!

has anyone had luck with Mark 6 GTI. When i use the screwdriver to press down the retaining clips for the airbag/horn cover they simply bounce back when i remove the screwdriver. The youtube clip on a Mark 5 shows these clips staying down when pressed with a flathead screwdriver. Am i not pressing hard enough???

Search for my experience on a mk6 R install. It was nearly impossible to remove the airbag. You have to leave the screwdriver wedged in there holding the loop over the tab the pull the airbag bit with all your might and then some. It took me hours of trying before I could get the airbag out, and about a week for the bruising on my fingers to go away...

installed mine on the weekend, and it would have to be one of the best mods i have done....the extra weight of the paddles make the shifts so much more tactile....and being on the inside, you get to enjoy them all the time....great product!! thanks for the group buy

Right finally got around to installing them today! Nice and straight forward install which took all of about 30 minutes to do.
Took a picture of with and without the shifter extensions. Makes a huge difference!



Also as some members had previously mentioned, it would definately come in handy to have a stronger spring in place, it seems when the shifter retracts, it doesnt do so the same as the OEM shifters, although expected since the S2T paddles are a lot larger and heavier.

Only time will tell at this stage!

Keep posting pics of your installs peeps!

I felt this at the time of install too, but that's the last time it bothered me... I don't think about it when driving and using them and there's certainly enough spring in the stock springs that they'll work fine
