Buy Gearknob & Gaiter – 5G2 711 113 E CXV in the UK – Genuine Volkswagen Parts in Stock
Product Overview: Authentic Interior Refinement
The 5G2 711 113 E CXV is a complete assembly, meaning you receive both the gearknob and the accompanying gaiter (boot) in one cohesive, pre-assembled unit. As a Genuine Volkswagen part, it is manufactured using the same high-quality leathers, durable plastics, and precise stitching patterns used during the original vehicle assembly. Unlike generic aftermarket alternatives that often feature poor leather grain or loose fitment, this OEM assembly is guaranteed to align perfectly with your centre console.
Compatibility & Fitment
This assembly is tailored for specific models, ensuring that the mounting clips and gaiter base snap into your centre console with the exact tension required.
-
Compatible Models: Ideally suited for late-model Volkswagen Golf variants (Mk7/Mk7.5) featuring the specific centre console trim.
-
Design Specifics: The CXV trim code denotes the specific leather, stitching colour, and finish style that matches your vehicle’s factory trim level.
-
Importance of Correct Fitment: Interior trim parts are highly sensitive to model variations (e.g., manual vs. DSG, or left-hand vs. right-hand drive). Always verify your OEM part number (5G2 711 113 E CXV) or provide your 17-digit VIN to our team to ensure the gearknob style and gaiter mounting points match your exact interior configuration.
How It Works: Aesthetics & Tactile Quality
Beyond just aesthetics, the gearknob and gaiter serve as the primary interface between you and your vehicle’s transmission. A worn gearknob can feel greasy or loose, while a torn gaiter exposes the internal gear-linkage mechanics to dust and debris.
Why replacement is recommended:
-
Wear and Tear: Natural skin oils, rings, and daily use cause the leather to peel or the stitching to fray.
-
Cabin Aesthetics: A fresh, clean gearknob is one of the most effective ways to make a vehicle interior feel years newer.
-
Ergonomics: OEM gearknobs are weighted and shaped to VW’s ergonomic standards, ensuring comfortable, positive shifts every time.
Performance Benefits (Interior)
-
Tactile Satisfaction: Experience the premium grip and weighted feel of a brand-new, genuine leather-wrapped gearknob.
-
Visual Appeal: Restores the sophisticated look of your cabin with crisp stitching and flawless leather.
-
Longevity: Genuine leather and high-grade plastics resist cracking, ensuring the new unit looks good for years to come.
-
Value: Maintaining a pristine interior is a key factor in vehicle resale value.
Build Quality & Engineering
Volkswagen’s attention to detail is evident in this assembly:
-
Premium Materials: Genuine, durable leather that maintains its shape and texture.
-
Perfect Stitched Seams: Precision-engineered stitching that is both strong and visually consistent.
-
Factory-Grade Plastics: The mounting base is crafted from reinforced plastic that snaps securely into place without rattles or gaps.
Installation & Maintenance
This is an ideal DIY upgrade for car enthusiasts.
-
Installation: In most Volkswagen models, the gaiter base is held by a simple plastic clip-in frame. The gearknob is typically secured with a single crimp-clamp or a screw-thread, depending on the specific model.
-
Maintenance: Keep the leather supple by using a high-quality, pH-neutral leather conditioner. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the dye from the leather over time.
Durability & Storage
To maintain the leather’s finish, store this part in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which could cause the leather to dry or fade. The assembly is delivered in protective packaging to prevent creasing of the leather or damage to the plastic mounting clips.
