Centre Tray

[shezlee]

I recieved the Tray this morning but unfortunatly it is damaged :(so I am talking to Martyn about a replacement.

On the face of it, it looks easy just needs a little modification again I'll let you know as soon as its fitted.

Bit of a downer being damaged.

Can you give us a clue on the mod. as if successful I will order straight away :) Do you need to modify the tray, or other?

I must have missed something! What is this centre tray? Where does it go?

The carpeted tray under the handbrake, this seems to get fitted when the front console is full up of things like Symphony and Satnav, etc. so that there is no cubby hole in it.

Ade,
You got it in one!

Looking at it there are four lugs on the bottom which need to be cut off or you could cut holes in the existing centre tunnel (I am not going there)

Removing the handbrake covers is quite simple. will explain more when I finaly fit it.

I don't blame you, cutting the lugs off sounds easier. This is one area of the car which is a waste, not only would it be a useful storage tray, but anything you drop down there by accident would be caught instead of slipping down the side of the seats which I seem to do every week :(

You can change the colour of text on these forums by using the Color dropdown menu in the format section of the reply page.

Like this {green}text here{/green}, although you'd use the square brackets, not the curly ones.

Make sense, otherwise, check out here for a list of colours, not all of them work though.

Hoo-rah, mine comes in on Friday/Saturday so I hope you are successful so I can do it easily. I also have the A2 elasticated belt system (+ some parts for my A4) being delivered so am eagerly awaiting to hear from you with yet another guide!

[shezlee]

Ade,

Pass..
I've run out of usefull things to fit? well by myself anyway.

I suppose the next thing might be speaker upgrade - front and rear I already have an 4x40 RMS amp. and have been quoted £350-400 UK for speakers. need to save for that one through.

Webasto upgrade to full remote - costly £500+ - This would have been the Audi upgrade if they had wanted it. (contacted Webasto direct)

Chip ????? not till warrenty runs out.

Heated mirrors - not convinced I need then.. Yet.

Oh. That front grill - someone must make one.. I can only hope.

I thought the same about the mirrors... but they even work with rain! So driving in rain they clear a treat and believe me they are useful getting into a car that was outside all night and mirrors are totally frozen over... AND it looks neat when you switch them on and you get out to start clearing the glass etc 1st thing in the AM and steams starts coming off them! ;)

[shezlee]

Ade,
Are you sitting comfy.. then I'll begin.

As you know the centre tray fits between the front seats as per Johann pictures and is for those A2's with double DIN radios as they lose a storage pocket (not much use anyway, unless you wedge something in it).

This is not for the faint harted as it looks and feels like your ripping the car apart but most definatly worth it.

Here goes...

Pull handbrake cover forward along the line of the handbrake. (catch the silver ring)
Pull the lower cover forward (There is a little clip at the lower forward edge.
Pull the hump (bit with 12V socket) up and unplug and remove.

Wasen't that easy.

Remove the 12V socket from the hump. (The silver bit pushes through the Orange bit and through the hump.

Replace the 12V socket in the new tray.

With the tray upside down remove the 4 (four) metal and plastic lugs around the edge of the tray (NOTE the lugs in the hump need to stay )and remove the 4 (four) smaller plastic bits in the middle of the tray.

Stick the 5mm thick Number Plate fixers on the under side of the tray after the curved supports (only 2 are required) (NOTE need to be the 5mm ones)

Fit tray into car (need to select odd gear 1,3 or 5)
Reconnect the 12V socket (only fit one way)
push tray in to position and press down
Replace the handbrake covers and the silver ring

Finished.






Ade, if your still reading, Why.... 15mins and its fitted.

Did all the bits come supplied, or did you have to modify it, you mention 'number plate fixers'?

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adriancharles/images/sig_ade.jpg

[shezlee]

What you get is the Centre Tray only from VAG Parts, the number plate fixers are from Halfords and are used to stick number plates on without screws, have photo of these as well.

The only thing that need to be modified are the lugs on the bottom of the tray, Cut then off..

Well, I thought I'd try this bit first, just to see how easy it is to remove these bits, how on earth do you get the handbrake handle (handbrake cover) forward? I pulled and pulled, but no movement.

Any tips?

Have you looked at the picture of the rear cupholders that Martyn sent? That shows all the bolts etc for the centre bit too... maybe that will help?

Well, centre tray arrived this morning (+ parts for rear belt system in boot and also a spare part for my A4), but haven't opened it yet and probably won't get to fit it until Friday morning.

I'll take some photos and produce some guides where required.

I see you had you 3 shredded wheat.
Got the photos back an hour ago so will finalise the guide tonight.

as for the 12V socket you need to push the silver bit through the orange bit (out the top side) you will need the squeeze the 2 spring clips (these hold the lighter in place when depressed) and push firmly (DONT PULL - NOTHING WILL HAPPEN).

To remove the orange bit squeeze the orange clips and out she comes..

I will try to explain better in the guide (if I can)

Still waiting for the Belt system through.

Ta. I'll try tonight.

I got my belt system today also (small issue is I only got one belt instead of two - should be one per side :() and fitted what I could this lunchtime, piece of cake. So I have half a belt system anyway! I'll take it out again and do a guide on it tonight with some digital piccies so should have something soon. I did seem to get a lot of spare parts I didn't need though (about 9 in total) so I'll be in touch with Martyn to firm up what it should have been (or where I've missed things from the fitting [:0]). Seems to work though!

I'm plucking up courage to order the seat back map pockets. This requires puncturing the seat material to fit so not quite so simple, but I really miss these pockets so I'm going to give it a go.

Missus thinks I'm mad.... [xx(]

This has got me stumped. The silver clips that hold the lighter in place - squeezed and pushed like hell, but no movement at all. They just seem to bend out of shape if you squeeze too hard. Is it likely that they've changed the design of the lighter (clutching at straws now). Did you use pliers to squeeze?

I received my centre tray on Saturday and set about installing it.
Had some difficulty with the 12v socket but eventually removed it and inserted it into the new hump.
However,despite removing the four lugs the tray would not sit flat.
Tried removing all areas which were higher than the sticky tape but still the tray felt loose.
Eventually realized that the spring clip next to the 12v socket was not engaging.
Very disappointed,emailed Martyn this mrning to discuss what I do next....

Copy and paste of a mail I just sent David....

--------------------------

Hi David.

If I remember right, the left side one engaged properly, but the right side
did not at first on mine at least. I think my cable was not tied, but I also
remember that it would not engage whilst the number plate fixers were in
place to start with. It also took a bit of pressure to push it down.

Not sure how to proceed, but I would try the following:

1) Push hard and ensure it is guided to the right place (I guess you've
tried this though).

2) Remove the sticky pads and try again. If this works then you know the
cable is not to blame and you can then try to seat them at a better
location. I have mine down the sides of the console rather than across for
example...

3) If that doesn't work then perhaps untie the cable tie and try again.

4) If that doesn't work then I don't know. Are you coming to the social?
Perhaps someone could take a look then?

I finally fitted the tray last night.After removing the old fixers,I then tried the tray again but it still would not sit properly.So in desperation,I removed all the protusions from underneath the tray so the bottom was completely flat and hey presto it finally clicked in place with a far bit of force.
I then placed the fixers on the underneath of the tray so that they were pointing from gearstick to handbrake rather than across ways and stuck it down.Well pleased.Thanks to Ade and Martyn at VAG for their advice.

David,

On the underside of the tray were there curved ribs across the tray?

Yes it did.
I was not sure if these were at fault but reasoned that if there was nothing on the bottom of the tray it would lie flat on the number plate fixers....

Hi Dave, glad to help. I didn't need to remove the ribs on mine, but did need to push hard. Again, not sure if the orientation of the strips really was the key or not since I put them in the wrong place as I tried for the last time and once I had it in I didn't want to remove it to try across ways....

Fitted my tray today!

That lighter is a real bugger to get out isn't it?
Managed in the end with brute force - a few whacks with a hammer did the trick (with something protecting the white plastic).

I could only get 6mm sticky fixers which is clearly wrong as it doesn't sit horizontal so I'll have to revisit it when I can get hold of an alternative as it is not very secure at the moment at that one end.

Stuart, I remember posting about the cigarette lighter! I too needed a hammer!

Re the sticky pads, when they were across ways it was too high at the front, hence I put them inline down the sides instead. This did the trick for me.

I know - it was your posting that gave me the confidence to get the hammer out!
I'll try what you suggest with the sticky pads.

OK ,interested to see if it works. Re the hammer, I did use it quite gently though so glad you didn't damage it.
