CUBBY BOX/COIN HOLDER

[bstardchild]

Really!! Number 3 & 4?
(Sorry for bad photo on iPhone and some odd paint app)

What is the thing between 3 & 4 for - I've never worked it out Sorry but I haven't and I've never been bothered to take a picture and ask either but as you have I'll thread jack slightly

The bit just above the climate control/ heater controls?
It's a coin holder. You know there's little slits in the sides your meant to put coins in them. Tho personal I Keep my head unit remote in it and keep my money in the ash tray lol

"stowage area with coin holder" to quote the handbook.

The pic, is diffrent to the inside of mine

I think there's nothing you can replace that coin holder with, its not a DIN size so nothing else fits in it afaik

So you are missing 3 & 4? Cup holder and coin/storeage tray?
You should be able to buy the hole lot from a scrappy/ eBay/ VW.
Meaning the cup holder, coin tray, and the bit that screws onto the dash that holds them.

Or scarfrice the large cubby and do what Emma did instead.

All the coin stowage bit is good for is for coins, little remotes , USB connectors
It's just too little for anything else

[cornishdrummer]

so can 3 & 4 be added ?

Tbh I've never know that section not to be there. I've had 3 6n2s and been inother peoples and never not seen it. Even my mate has that section in her Lupo E- except her buttons are there instead of the cup holder and coin tray. It's also pictured in the handbook. So I would have thought it would have originally been in your car, but removed for some reason.
By memory that section is just held on by two screws and some little clips at the back that help keep it in place.
So should be nice and simple to put one back on.

Will have to have a good look morro i think

[cornishdrummer]

Have had a look and def not got it, but there is def room for one and there is screws in the big cubby box so im guessing I could fit one with out many probs.

[Verity]

good good. should be pretty easy. its just getting the screws in the holes which is the hardest part sometimes

This is what the section looks like. as you can see there are two clips at the back. they are ment to be hidden. but last time mine came off i didnt notice that one of the clips was sticking out so i need to sort that out at some point.
and you can see the holes for the screws

[cornishdrummer]

Seems that mine should have that. Mine looks diffrent to yours, whats under the coin slot thingy ?

[Verity]

I have a GTI, so I've got Climate Control instead of heater dials

[cornishdrummer]

oh right. so is it not only the 6n2 GTI has the drink holder ?

[Verity]

Nah deff not. Coin tray and cup holder as standard, I've had an E which is the simplest of all models and that still had them. The GTIs have climat control and different clocks, everything else is the same.

Thanks for your help I will try and hunt one down/
