Yes in future I'll post year etc. Rookie mistake. (Maybe that's partly why listers show what they are driving in their sig ........... : ) And yes had read about VWG making these soon. Here's hoping!

The water cooled variety (there are 3 different ones, one of them Syncro only), depending on the year is becoming hard to find and I have it on good authority VW will be obsoleting them in the near future. Ken @ Vanagain.com can usually supply new ones for the water cooled. But please, when looking for that elusive part, give the year, model and perhaps the engine series you have. It will go a long way to accurately answering the "help" question. BTW, reproductions of the boot are in the planning and prototype stage at Ventura Warehouse Group (VWG) and will be coming soon late this year and into the next.
