Opel Insignia - broken gear knob change

The gear knob of my 2016 Opel Insignia broke again - here is the replacement

For those of you who follow my consumer blog, you probably know that the gear knob of my 2016 Opel Insignia with automatic gearbox broke some time ago. It is less than two years and it broke again, as it seems the aftermarket part did not last for too long.

Here is the broken part in my Insignia:

The part that is broken is the release button (not present on these photos since it fall off). The rest of the gear knob is in pretty good shape but that doesn't matter since it cannot operate properly without proper release button.

And here is how the replacement part looks like:

The code name for the replacement part that I found is YTA-0064. It looks OK but I doubt it that this new knob is going to last longer than the previous one, but I that would be expected for the price of under 15 Euro.

And here is a short video about the new part that I recorded for you, so you can get a better idea about this product:

I will be servicing my car by the end of this week and I will ask the guys there to change this part as well. Hopefully it will last at least 1-2 years.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.
