Apparently there's a dedicated VW tool for removing these (VW 228 B) but they're a shocking amount of money and you'd need to be using it regularly to justify the cost.



Found this set up for less than £15 on Amazon - you can pay much, much more for the exact same thing elsewhere, so shop around.



Described as a blind hole bearing puller - does the same thing with the advantage of coming with additional sized tips.

I've probably the MK1 to do as well so went ahead and got it to see how it goes... the point the bush is sited looks very vulnerable to me, last thing I need is to break or crack the bell housing - will keep you posted.





Arrived today and within 15 mins the bush was out - the second largest piece did the trick, bit of a push to get it in but once expanded pulled out like butter.

Ok, a really tricky one now, and possibly not a fair one  :)) .



You only see it if you take something apart and this particular something is only on certain GTIs (and some non-UK models).


I've had to crop into the photo to cut out the 'parent' part so as not to give it away.

Well I didn't know what it is, but sort of cheated and pretty sure I got it.

Is it sitting in oil?

Some wear marks towards the center - a bearing of sorts?

Would be petrol if I'm correct in my thinking

Well as I know Tim has been knee deep in K-Jet in his old mk2.
I'm going to say something to do with a piece of test kit that sets up K-Jet.

It is indeed petrol.

And you're on the right lines and it is K-jet related. I was sure that would be an easy guess for anyone that know what I've been through previously. But it is a part of the car.

That's what led me to the part, an internal part to the WUR.

It's on the inside, does it hold the metering head to it or something.
