How to replace the dashboard cupholder?

[TEB]

The spring insert thingie broke out of my cupholder this weekend. How do you remove it from the dash? Cheapest place to buy one?


While on the subject of cupholders, the one in my rear arm rest sticks and required quite a hard poke to get it to come out ** easy fix for this?

B6 noob, be patient with me.

my back cupholder also requires a good poke to get it to come out...

i would also like to know if there is a fix for this

Make this an excuse to do the b7 console swap. The b6 pop-out cupholders are useless imo.

interesting, i've never even thought of that maybe i'll do that.

I would go the B7 route if you have the time and money but I just followed this DIY. Be careful if you need to reuse the face. I scratched up mine pretty good when my screwdriver slipped and had to get another cupholder from Joey.

eBay has a few of them also, just need to make sure you get one that matches the b6 (without the chrome strip)

Get the b7 console. All set and done, mine was ~380

eh.....just replace the dash cupholder for $15. I like the B7 center console but $15 beats $380 anyday, especially since if you buy the B7 center console you'll still have the broken dash cupholder

really wanting to do this to mine.

Tried looking for a center console retrofit thread. So far no luck.

^that's what I used

FYI, the Hand brake button is not available through GAP. I had to get it at the audi dealer

if you take any part of the dash apart, you should leave the cup holder broke.
