Thread 'Glove box handle / removal' https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/glove-box-handle-removal.41074/
It's the pin that locks into dlte sideIn what way is it broken the pin that locks into the side broken? The bit the handle moves or the handle mech is broken, or both?! Usually both as handle breaks trying to force it. Post a wanted add I'm sure you will get one in right colour too. There is a thread on the repair off the rod but not the handle, that's not mend able as far as I know.
Q2 judging by other linked parts that are similar in different colours.It's an a1 bumper maybe?? , that's not for an a2 sir
"What is that "cycle-like" drinks bottle. " supposing the returning line from turbo new one is done ... no bootle next , but its funny.... I tell you one thing never buy an car with hello kitty stuff...A quick Google search seems to indicate that pipe 045121065h is common to other VAG models and isn't very expensive. What is that "cycle-like" drinks bottle. It doesn't look original. Is it one of many bodges from the previous owner?
Before you spend too much more money you probably want to check how much it's going to be to repair to an 'acceptable standard'.
There comes a point when cars can be money pits. You either shop carefully in scrapyards for cheap spares and use the experience to learn how to fix it, or sell the car and move on. I'm sure most of us have bought a dud, I have. Just be more careful checking your next purchase. Never buy blind. What a seller classes as good condition may not be the same as your view.
Good luck.
Just to update that its not dead its just going slow and i will need a lot of help as issues arise ! The place where the wipper motor secures it as an screw, well someone had an small crash and didnt repair that, good that i bouthg an new dash and will need to take it out and think on something to repair it!
I have an issue on my gearbox, the guy says that the shift at the gear box as a lot of play, and doesnt get up when it needs and thats why 3 and some other gear i cant remenber we need to search for it! The guy its no expert in gearbox, i have ent him an videi from here where it shows were to lock on the box and on the gear side in the interior and adjust with the springs , but he says its not that so now in waiting for an supposed expert in gear boxes !!!
I know that we can go the route of JDD that im not an fan! An MZN 5 speed , and there is an Audi , something on tis thread that i dont know if it will fit due to the sensor that counts revs in mine its on the box and not at the wheel https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/new-6-speed-gearbox-method-passat-11-onwards-myp-gearbox.25919/page-10#post-401380 and then there is the 6 gear kit that i dont have any ideia where to get, be aware that im at Portugal so buy things from Uk its kind of more expensive these days!

It sounds like the bearing seal thingy on the shift tower from researching a similar issue on mine, should be a fairly easy fix, I’ve heard that just renewing the bearing makes a night and day difference to the gear change.Just to update that its not dead its just going slow and i will need a lot of help as issues arise !

Even though the engine you started with was covered in grime it's certainly cleaned up really well.
If you buy a new gear selector tower sometimes they are longer than the original one and need a new lower mount as well.

Loving the lemon project!
Have a great day and all the best of luck!
Edit
I've just been having a chat with @Little Dog asking for help with the info on the lower mounting cap for the gear selector tower.
I knew the info was somewhere but I'd forgotten which post.
Thanks @Little Dog for finding this.... https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/gear-change-issues-2003-tdi-150k-miles.34450/
Near the end of the first page there is a diagram of the gearbox and that part

Ir was return line of course , there is not mutch higth the higher the bottle less oil, let the turbo work , and spill it all over, after few kms , you go to see the bootle and its never full, thats an good logic i guessWe need more information on the bottle! I’m sure a few of us have a morbid fascination with what its purpose was!
I know you mentioned it was maybe the turbo return line, but it looks like it’s looks too high for that.
Good luck with the rebuild!
