Thank you. Now to find a louver grille replacement.

[@TheJorgSacul]

I've been dealing with an annoying broken one for three years- this looks like a VERY simple fix (with patience, of course, no forcing!), I must do it, thank you.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yea sure, it's a simple fix just be patient when removing. The plastic pry tools helps alot.

[@damienjackson2450]

Thank you, this was really helpful. I've just easily replaced my vent with no damage done 😀

[@alandjerr]

You can put those plastic strips back in place without removing anything, it's fiddly, but doable. Kids have ripped out them out of place in my car multiple times, and i have been able to put them in place every time.

[@adamkorekach9936]

Thanks! Now I can fix my center vent safely.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@give_me_my_nick_back]

Thanks, your video does show a good job unlike the other vid I've found where the dude has damaged the dashboard xD Or like all the fora posts saying you need to take out the entire dashboard....

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I'm happy you found this video. Hope you didn't remove your dashboard. Lol thanks for watching!

[@amirgilani8803]

[@jrperrotta]

Now the ideal video would be how to repair the broken dislodged grills! Since you have the old one out what causes it to shift or break loose?

[@fssibar9145]

I drive a 23 year old B3 and the center air vent is a problem on all models. Still, these cars are indestructible with a little care I love Volkswagen

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yea, these older models are much more durable than the newer ones today.

[@marioniettoazarcon6719]

where can you buy the spare part can you share the link please

[@Ivan-oj9my]

Do you know the number of pieces, that white plastic and the orange, to find it and order it? My passat doesn't have factory ventilation, so I'd like to install it

[@jrperrotta]

Nice video as always! Where did you get the replacement grill piece? Wrecking yard or online somewhere?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Got it from the wrecking yard from another passat.

[@thepostalteenager2206]

The ones from Škoda Superb I are better?

[@rahmonlarsen8938]

hi. thanks, what is the part number?

[@minik2442]

молодец

[@alejandroferreramartinez5364]

Where do yo buy this replacement? I cannot find anywhere

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I salvaged it from another vent. I got another vent, but the left grill was damaged and the right side was good. I used the good right side grill to do the repair. However, you can check on ebay for the entire center vent.

[@Ells1Med0]

Hey i have 1 question, what kind of lights are used for vents?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

No lights in the vents.

[@Ells1Med0]

@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds but when the night comes you have little red lights near the cyrcles vents

Hi! Where did you buy the part you are replacing?

[@matejsurmay1266]

Put new from Skoda Superb and change LED in it :D try to found it on google

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Oh k, cool. Did it fit?

[@batmunkhgerelmaa8442]

How did you order air vent I wanna raplace small part as you

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I took it from another car. I wasn't able to find it online.

[@babymil4545]

Is it the same way as the Passat B6 from 2010??

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Might be a similar removal process, but these grills won't fit.
