[Vwdiesel] Hi, looking for 2 parts, A2 and A4

[Dave Cook]

 Sounds like a good solution to the gas strap situation.

They are still making the A4 generation Jetta in China (along with a funky A2, I believe) so the parts may well not be knock-off.  Chinese-produced possibly, but not necessarily a knock off.  I see a bunch of things like arms rests on ebay from China, and assume the same thing.

When my strap rusted out, I bought some steel strips from fleet farm, bent
them on one end each to bolt to the car, then bent the other ends 90
degrees to meet each other.  Attach each end to the car first, then used a
long bolt to draw the two strip ends together until properly tensioned.
Coated everything with undercoating spray, and it outlasted the car.
