I know, it's probably a long shot. But I figured they sold more MK II Turbo diesel in Canada than in the US. So maybe our friends on the other side of the border might help a brother out.
I'm looking for the 4-button steering wheel center insert from an early MK II Jetta/Golf with the "Turbo Diesel" script written on it.
Sorry I don't have a pic of it, but maybe someone can chime in with one.
I'm not in desperate need of one, but would love to have one.

Try this guy..
ebay Item# 290164070132 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290164070132)
He had it on ebay two weeks ago and pulled 12 hours before it ended, I am guessing because the bidding was only up to $35.00
He probably wants a mint for it, throw money at him.

Yeah, I saw that auction and was watching it. I also noticed that he ended the auction early. I'm sure it's sold. Thanks for the link, so now people know what I'm looking for.
So, anyone got one???
-
It might be sold, some nut probably offered him $250 for it.
If you watch ebay.de they comeup every so often, even with world wide shipping.

Dude..Ive been looking for one for about a year now. I have a few posts on here and one on the Vortex. Ive sent questions to all kinds of yards all over the US and Europe. If I could get my hands on one Id make a mold.
I will probably go with an aftermarket smaller wheel if I cant find one. The only way I will stay with a stock wheel is with one.
You better get in line.
Oh...and just so you know...the end is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back there in another county.

i will keep my eyes out for you guys. if you ever see the elusive 'GTD' insert, please snap a pic at least i'd like to confirm that one.
as far as switching to a different smaller-diameter steering wheel: i have the normal 'GTI' wheel in my car, one of 3 non-leather ones i've used. i've also used the leather wrapped GTI ones, as well as corrado, passat, etc.
to be honest, i like the FEEL of the non-leather normal rabbit GTI wheel better than any of the others i've tried. i wouldn't want to go to a smaller diameter or thicker hand gripped wheel. of course, this is without power steering. not that its hard to turn with a smaller wheel, but i prefer the feel of the car with the larger diameter wheel. my 2 cents.

I will only have P/s. I wont run without it. I plan on doing alot of autox and open track and running without it is out of the question. I have a 12" on my cherokee because the stock wheel make me feel like I was driving a sailing ship.
