Job done 👍
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread
i successfully changed my dust cover in about 90 mins !
my local Bentley quoted 2129 usd - he told me that I needed a complete new assembly
i bought a cover from eBay for 85 usd part no 3W17173111k
my local Inde quoted 3 hrs labor (540 usd)
I was a bit nervous to take on this job myself but it worked exactly as per the instructions in this thread
I did not have to disconnect any wiring either
thanks again to all !!

Nice work. I got out even easier than you; I bought the part, then handed it to my radio install shop and when they put my Ben Hur in, they just swapped it out. Even told me I wasn't the first to ask.
The Bentley dealer quote is just ridiculous. Reminds me of someone on here who got a quote for $29,000 for an engine-out repair. My Bentley has never seen a dealer, although I need a spare key and that is my only choice. They want me to bring my title with me, I haven't gotten around to it, but if I lose my only remaining key, I think I'll regret it.

Before I "knew" you had to go to the dealer to get a key made I called a local locksmith who ordered one key and came to my house and cut the key and coded it. Try any locksmith that will accept Audi or VW keys of same vintage. I paid $450US for the key.

Hi All, this thread has been greatly informative.
Do you know if the Audi part will fit on the 2012+ Gen 2 CGT? I'm not sure if the assembly of the Gen 1 ('04-'11) is different from the Gen 2 ('12-'17); i know the shape of the steel base selector is different (more rectangular, instead of round shaped).
I'm looking at this option for my Gen 2 and want to know if this repair is possible before I invest in the complete shifter assembly unit.
TIA!

Just had a friend PM me about the part number for the shifter plastic sliding part, someone else found the part number, so I can't take credit. I ordered it on Ebay and got it fairly quickly for $60 or so, I think the Bentley part is several hundred dollars, it's the same thing.
