How do you remove this from the dashboard

[S2 Ant]

Part number for what you need should be 1K2 857 114 C 71N

As i say, its basically the bottom half of the passenger side dash - the part cost me £27

That's great ant thanks, cheaper than a glovebox.

Hi - I don't suppose you could post up a photo of the part please?  I'm having problems visualising what part it is as the area under the metallic strips just looks like the glovebox section/component (one piece).

Very many thanks 

Richard.

Here you go....

[Scotsman]

Thank you (given) ! 

I didn't realise you could get so much for only £27 from VW!   Basically it's the whole glove-box surround.

Wow   When you said it's a "big piece of plastic" you wern't joking.  
Have you fitted it yet?
What's the procedure?

I know, I have been surprised by bits in the past, I got a whole top cover for the steering wheel top for about £6 iirc, even with the fake leather bit

ive not fit it yet, i had to get it out the box to take that pic lol
I need to do it at some point tho as i've got a rattle over that side somewhere too that i wanna stop before i go mad!

[CAPTAIN BRITAIN]

I'm still not sure how the actual phone cradle is removed,
Where is it screwed to? anyone....

[S2 Ant]

I suspect that the screws / bolts and washers are behind the dash and go in to the unit itself.
When removed it will leave 3 holes i think, 2 for the fixings, 1 for the wiring

Ah, Ok, i'm gonna have to do this soon, i'm sick looking at the hideous phone holder.

You and me both lol, its been sat there looking at me since i got the car and the dash piece has been staring at me indoors for almost as long lol

As others have said, its a very easy job... You just need a T20 screwdriver. There is a how to available here:

If you can get the part from VW for £25, I'd bite their hands off!!

Thanks for finding that aidman,
Now i'm crapping myself  as anything i touch i destroy,  But i'll give it a go

  When i had my MK 4 GTI i bought loads of stuff for it from the dealers that just sat there for years gathering dust, Like Bora vents, and small wing mirrors, leather armrest, R32 steering wheel etc etc etc.
I'm determined not to let that happen this time round.

By the way i noticed from your sig you have had Revo DSG remap done, How did it change the car, and do you recommend it?
