Didnt know the us had a worse cupholder lol. Love the bottle opener to adjust the size between the storage compartments, so useful

[@aymenSeb3i]

perfect walkthrough. From Tunisia thx

[@nickgernert]

Thank you for this! I needed to replace the front center console piece and this was the perfect walkthrough

[@yukichan3971]

From your experience messing around with interior stuff...do you know if it's possible to take the original MK6 GTI A/C control module like you have in this car, and install it in a MK6 Golf R? The Golf R has a different A/C control module, and unsure if the cable in the back work for both. Figured you might know. FYI...I much prefer the simple three knobs for A/C control and other stuff, to the push button ones on the MK6 R and newer models.

Great vid! Very clear instructions. I need to route some wires underneath the console for another 12v socket to power something and this video helped me out a lot

[@alvin.holbrook]

Clearly... would love to see everything you can share about the AWD wagen build!

[@CarlosMartinez-sn4ge]

Dude made one hella good video and dipped for a month

Ha, I'm not a "KZbinr". If I don't have something worthwhile to post, I won't post filler content.

Hi Having trouble putting the old center console frame trim back on Any tips or tricks for those particular clips etc? Having trouble pushing it all the way in Thanks

[@Pygapascoe160]

Thanks. Would this same method work on a mk5 golf?

[@dieselandgasoline1679]

Glove box aluminium handle would be great

[@awdwagen5870]

I'll do one of those for sure. Have done several installs of these.

[@michaelvelazquez8770]

Just wondering, if I disconnect the battery before hand will i save the trouble of having to reset the airbag sensor?

[@awdwagen5870]

If you disconnect the battery beforehand and let it sit for a few hours to clear the memory, you can do this without having to reset the airbag warning light.

Good shit man

[@MrSimkeNS]

fuck everything, I need to disassemble half the car because of that shit that the shutter bursts in the first cold and then all over again

[@skz3792]

FFS my thoughts exactly. Nevermind I will just live with a busted slider.

[@MrSimkeNS]

@@skz3792 I got used to it without it and now it would just annoy me with being there

[@D3nn1s]

Wtf, i live in the alps no problems with it xD Tbh the shutter is open on my 90% of the time anyways

[@BrianF2668]

is this the same for the mk6 gti ?

[@awdwagen5870]

Yes! This process is the same for all the Mk6 Golf platform vehicles.

I have this euro cup holder in my golf and I have to admit the design is mediocre
