Cupholder box in front of rear seats - question?

Not open for further replies.
There are two versions of the 1.2TDI, one version is weight reduced even more (fixed rear seats, no AC, a lot of extras not possible, but you get more money from the government for it) and the other has removable seats, AC and so on...

Bye, Frido.

Johann, did you by any chance ask Harry which tool/head he used to take them out?

NO! He said something but I did not ask him to repeat as he ran back to the workshop! Sorry!

I think I may have confused matters, I used the T-30 to remove the old bolts as it was the largest one I had that fitted, and a T-40 to fit the new bolts the largest I own (It has been suggested that these should be T-35 and T-45) but can not confirm this.

Sorry..

Lee, I used the T45 to fit the new (looks like both would do the job then). I just couldn't get the T30 to undo my old ones. Did you mention a difference at the time between tapered and straight sided or something? Perhaps I bought the wrong ones. Now, there's a thought. Perhaps we ought to publish a 'handy tools to own for modifications to your A2' - mention the T bolts.

One thing I've just noticed. The front bracket on the cupholder, you didn't mention the screw underneath the ashtray which came with mine. Did you not have to screw this bracket into place? Perhaps it would be good to get clarification from VAGparts on exactly what comes in their 'kit'.

Ade,
I had 2 front brackets and no screws so the bracket is pushed in, seems to be quite firm.
I also mensioned the tapered and straight sided bits. Tapered bits are limited and rearly used they are more secure than straight from the point of DIY a straight bit will strip the bolts and therefor show signs of tampering.

No screws and 2 brackets - weird.

Agreed it was very firm before I screwed it, perhaps you could check for a screw hole (under the ashtray) next time you get in yours.

Disclaimer: No se*ual connotations implied in the above, it just came out that way!

There are screw holes, but I did not get any (screws).

I did get 2 screws for the front bracket and the holes for them are visible when you take the ashtray out... I duly screwed them in, even though it fits firmly enough without them when you just slide the bracket in below the centre console... BUT I also got a part named "Adapter" 8Z0 864 455 for £2.42 that had no obvious place to go and is still not fitted?! the guide at http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/guides.htm shows TWO of these... I only got one and thus did not fit it... rear bracket seems fine without them though - IF that is where they are supposed to go that is...

T-40 was perfect for the new bolts... and again sorry for not getting the name of the old bolts!!!

&lt;head hanging in shame&gt;

Was this supplied by VAG Parts? At least we know what's in their kit if we're going to be plugging them in the newsletter.

Yip all supplied by Martin... Only now did I see on the invoice that it stated 2 of those adapters... I had one and thus no idea where it should go... But like I said, the rear bracket fitted fine and feels plenty sturdy enough...

Johann

I will check invoice for parts used (unused)

I guess we are all to keen to fit the item to remember to get the size on the bolts we remove...

I got all the right parts, but the the garage gave me an extra ashtray bit (£8) so I promptyly took it back for a refund. I guess we could do with nailing the parts list so that the fitting guide is pucka.

Mine certainly had screws to attach the front bracket, but only one bracket supplied.

And yes, I certainly forgot to ask the man at the Ford garage what he used to remove it in my eagerness.

Martyn send me a JPG of all the bits and it shows where the two adaptors should go:

This sketch does however not show any screws through nr 14 - though there are holes in it that lines up with the holes below the existing rear holder 12. But I received 2 screws to insert there... I think... as there was no other place for them!

I seem to have all the parts (and none left over now). To recap, Johann, you should have 2 of both 16, 24 and 25 to fit it all 'as intended'. Also the 2 screws through 14 are marked as 19, hence put them in there, Lee didn't get these, although he did get two '14's.

I got an additional '12' which I returned for a refund. It would be good to confirm that the VAG parts one includes all the parts marked with the purple stars in the right quantity.

Hence, the total part list should be:

1 x 13 (cupholder)
1 x 14 (front bracket)
1 x 15 (rear bracket)
2 x 16 (rear bracket supports)
2 x 19 (screws for 14)
2 x 24 (screws for 16)
2 x 25 (washers for 16/24)

Hope this makes sense
