Creeking Console
« on: 21 February 2008, 16:29 »
Thanks for the advice about mileage chaps. Another thing is the car came with a phone cradle which the dealer removed for me but the centre console creeks like buggery now. How can a fix it cos it's driving me bonkers?

When we bought my missus' mk4 it had a nokia hands free fitted with the cradle in exactly the same place (next to the heater controls???). Since I removed it her console also creaks like buggery!!! I'd also like to know if anybody had stopped it??? (my advice would be to buy a mk2 :tongue: )


You got any pics of your dad's split ?
