Parts location
Hi all just bought a 3dr 6n1 polo 99 plate. Just replaced the engine as it dropped a valve and holed a piston, now the clutch release lever where the cable connects has broke the weld. Tried welding it but it must be a cast shaft as it broke straight away. Question is can i buy a new release lever and shaft and where from. I have trawled the web to no avail. The haynes manual calls it the release lever. Any ideas anyone. Its a simple fix if i can get the part. How much if anyone has done it. Appologies if it is already in here somewhere lots of info to look at. Cheers all jeff

Re: Parts location
Thanks for the reply. Went to my loal vw dealer and yes the part is available on back order at the price you quoted. I removed the box and the removed the arm. Such a simple job to get the arm out. I ground the weld off cut a nice groove in the top and welded it back up. I stress tested it to be sure and put the box back in. All done in a day and working great. Thanks for taking the time to reply. The engine is 1.4 8 valve. Runs real sweet for its age.

Re: Parts location
Was going to say, if you cut a good groove, youll get a decent strong weld
