Or a wack of a rubber mallet square from the back Worked like a charm.

By using the FORCE/mallet you'll probably break the metal pins of the housing - but its definitely an option of you want just to disassemble and remove the housing - without reusing/assembling it back later... :)

@@RetrofitGuy nah. The metal pibs are protected by the plastic housing. The "just hard enough" rubber mallet whack simply dislodged the metal holes from the plastic tabs holding it in place.

@@DavidHeyburn Yeah I had a mallet from a leather kit didn't even use a strong tap, just held it while I tap it bit by bit and came out. As I need to still use it but spray painting the center console.

Thanks very useful video. Yep, you are correct - if you dont use a tool, very good chance you will destroy the socket - definately did a number on mine. Did find a replacement socket but not the light bezel. Do you have the part# for the bezel and/or where you might be able to find one. Have not located one yet. Thanks

Hi there I bought this tool, but still I couldnt get out the lighter out of the housing.The tool always slides out while turning the top knurled nut. I also have the feeling that the two notches which should press the pins are not moving enough. Any advice how to get that d... thing out? BTW it's from a 08 VW Touareg in the center console next to the shifting handle

If so - you actually need 2 picks and 4 hands: 2 hands to push 2 picks in opposite directions, 1 hand to hold the housing and 4th one to actually pull housing... :))) Feasible - but really not straight forward... :)))

Hello, I'm hoping you can help me. I have a 2016 Audi A5 coupe. I went to push a plug onto the rear cigarette lighter and the whole cigarette housing went in side the back wall. How can I bring my cigarette light back out? The lighter works. I must have pushed to hard and pushed it through! Please help...your expertise is much appreciated.

Hi. Assuming whole cigarette lighter was pushed in somehow - its the surrounding plastic/leather housing that somehow got enlarged. In this scenario I can only recommend to disassemble that housing and get access to this lighter from the back - and remove it as its pushed all way in now. To disassemble plastic - you will need to remove rear air vents, possibly read climate, to get access to screws that hold that housing in plastic. Or try removing just the vents first - as it may give you access to the cigarette housing - so you could get it out...Then disassemble it as per my video - and assemble back in the that leather/plastic housing - if the hole is not broken/enlarged/damaged obviously... Hope above info is of a benefit, and helps. Thanks.

@@philip00010 it was me that pushed it in..interesting, I can't open a cap on a water bottle but I have enough strength to push a cigarette lighter through the wall. Lol. I did look at taking the vent apart. It appears the rear vent is attached to a whole unit to the front, making this a big job for a small issue. I left it go. I tried to get it back through the hole and I can not. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I think your videos are excellent. I appreciate your time and work.

@@e.shealer2417 Thanks for kind words. Appreciated. I'm more than confident those 2 rear vents can be ejected as one piece - and it can give you enough room to get access to that problematic cigarette lighter socket - but of course triple check - as you do not want to damage the vents themselves because those fenders are very delicate and can break easily. Stay safe out there! Regards.

What year is this for? The part says only 2007 q7 and I have a 2014. Does the tool work for any year/model?

This tool fits any VAG ashtray as the mechanism is similar. To your particular question: yes, it will fit Q7 2014 too

Hallo, das geht auch einfacher, ohne den Zigarettenanzünder zu beschädigen und ohne spezielles Werkzeug, wenn man mit einem kleinen Schlitzschraubendreher von hinten zwischen Metalröhre und dem orange-durchsichtigen Teil fährt und damit eine der Rastnasen entriegelt.

I bought this tool and my cigarette housing is more then 50% out but now its hard because when i try to pull i got the feeling i pull the orange plastic also... Im removing the cigarrete lighter out of the center arm box from a audi a5 B8. Do i just have to pull hard and be like if it breaks it breaks?

You should not be pulling the orange plastic out but just the metal part if both teeth of the tool are pressing the inner walls of the cigarette lighter cylinder. Once you insert the tool - be sure you rotate it until you feel the "click" - meaning those tool teeth actually got "caught" in the cylinder holes... If all "caught up" and still seems you pull everything out - I may assume its all stuck / rusted there due to age. There is a need to apply some pressure but not too much.. Depends on condition of cigarette lighter...I may assume you have no choice but to pull and 50/50 you break the yellow plastic surrounding... Hope this helps.

How this is useful to anyone that doesn't need to remove it regularly? No one is going to buy an expensive tool only to do it once or twice. That's just stupid.

Fxcking volkswagen crxp strikes again, special tool for everything, including removing a godforsaken cigarette lighter socket. Why vw. Make everything so it's lasts again so we don't need the special tool in the first place.
