Title: between centre console and handbrake surround, is something missing?
Post by: andynorfolk on 20 October 2011, 20:02
as title suggests... is this how it should look? looks like there's something missing and the carpet doesn't sit right... here's a couple of pics to show what i mean...

Nope. Nothing missing, all normal, standard.

Apart from the gear knob being upside down.

Has Worzel been shaggin' Aunt Sally in your car?

the gear knob isn't upside down, the disc on the top is loose and spins round aha

car's are made for driving, i must admit i do like to clean and give her a good polish every weekend if i have time, but if there's some dust or dirt on the carpets it doesn't bother me in the slightest aha

You are missing the cap that covers the screw at the back on the handbrake surround. They are a hinged part of the surround, so mostly get broken off and can't be bought separately. You can still get the whole thing from the dealers for not much loot, but if you don't hoover your car, I guess you won't be that fussed.  :grin:

Ever seen How Clean Is Your House by the way?

I had the smaller 1.3 version centre console, until i upgraded, and i thought exactly the same. Got it from the scrap yard, put it in mine, had the weird extension, and took it back, put it back in the car to check, and it was the same, checked all the other GTIs and all the same. I finally realised it is there to direct the air from the heeater to the back footwells. On the smaller console, the heater channels are all blocked off, when i upgraded, i noticed all the extra channels (two on either side of the centre, and the two going under the console into the back)

btw according to ETKA the handbrake lever surround is no longer available - it was dropped without replacement in Dec 2010. Wouldn't mind a replacement for mine since the screw cover is missing (nurd!) but I was hoping to source a new one - pooh!
