The handle I took off is 210 758 05 38. The parts guy said the part number, should I need it is 210 758 01 38. Just like you said. Maybe they changed suppliers or something. Dealer said I would need 3 nuts 140 990 06 58. The nuts fit 2 holes on the side but not the center.
The center hole on the handle looks like instead of having a round hole, it has a square which is what made me think carraige bolt. Anyways, the old deck lid has 3 hex holes. The parts department said that it takes 3 nuts 140 990 06 58.
The new deck lid has 2 hex holes and 1 round hole. I saw the 01 210 cars and saw that the middle hole has something that looks like a carriage bolt where the top is smooth.
The new handle for the 01 cars is 210 750 04 93. Once again, like you said. Perhaps tomorrow I will go get the parts you speak of and see what transpires. If I had to, I suppose I will get a new handle to go with those parts.
Thise leaves 2 questions:
1. What is your source where the parts people were stumped?
2. Why weren't you behind that counter when I was there?
I will go to the parts store with these numbers and maybe I can get some resolution.
