Audi A3 8L Mittelarmlehne reparieren center armrest repair

[@mluisbrown]

The “hidden” screws inside the armrest which hold the release catch that needs to be replaced are T8 Torx screws. It’s a lot easier when you know 😀

[@MareloBerg]

T7 used here

[@The1108tom]

Best comment ever 😄 T8 worked fine

[@zygmuntkwasiborski]

Hi, any ideas why I can't pull up the armrest after loosening that big screw behind ashtray? Tnx!

[@claytonmold5349]

Mario Cvitanovic did you figure it out?

[@Mad4Tracks]

Its a snug fit so use some force left and right, back and forth, wiggle it loose. That bolt is all there is

Hi Tobske93.... danke für dein Video. es ist wirkl soweit hilfreich. Leider kann ich aber bei meinem Auto nicht erkennen (total zu geklebt! ), um welche Sorte Schrauben es sich handelt (4 Stück), die sich im Fachinnenraum befinden. Kannst du mir da behilflich sein und sagen ob es sich um Kreuz, Torx oder sonstiges handelt. Vorab Danke Gruß M

[@tobske9345]

+menzie muh Hi es handelt sich um ein 8er Torx

[@1giwdul]

Danke ;)

[@MSKL23]

Als ich die untere Schraube entfernt habe, klemmt die Armlehne.
