Rear cup holder broken - and the vents too! - update
« on: November 05, 2010, 05:28:16 pm »
I had a poke around my car today to see what all the bits and bobs do and found that my rear cup holder (the one that sits at the back of the centre console) is in bits and I can't work out how to put it back together - infact it looks like iots broken.

Are these expensive/difficult to replace?
Likewise the vents above it appear not to work on one side - they don't move about as they should.

Grrr

stokeballoon has a few spare rear cup holders if u want one. send him a PM.  :happy2:

he's selling for around £22 and you'll need to source the cover bit yourself for £10 but u can reuse the one u have if that bit is not broken.

Flip down holder p/n is 1K0 862532G 9B9
cover p/n is 1K0 862543B 82V

I'll check if the flap is broken - i think the clips that hold it on and hinge it are broken  :scared:

Where can I get a flap for £10 from?

Well, after a bit of swearing to get the unit out, i've managed to put the whole cup holder assembly back together - it was a bit of a Krypton factor but it works perfectly now.  :happy2:

Trouble is, I can't see how to get the airvent assembly apart. The central spine that holds the left and right vents together has snapped. So the right hand side ones work perfectly but the LHS don't move at all.
