this is a video of me trying to repair one of the things I hate about my Audi TT - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Cool video Chris.
Great vid Chris, thanks for sharing! :-) Just an FYI - The reason the damper becomes more difficult to slide open/closed is because the elastomer ring becomes harder, or less elastic with age. You should really avoid using petroleum based lubricants if possible as it will degrade the elastomer over time and can cause it to swell - elastomer plastics and grease are not compatible materials. A silicone-based lube would really be your best choice.
FYI - The easiest way to separate the cap is to rotate the plug-end 90° counter-clock-wise and remove it from the cylinder body.
Good to know!
I was thinking use like plumbers grease...any thoughts on that
Thanks pal, great video. Mine had already snapped but gave me the help I needed to remove and bodge a repair on it.
Cheers mate glad it helped 👍
Thanks for the vid. I only watched it because I wanted to see how to take the glovebox off a TT, its exactly the same as my S3 8p, I didn't realise. Funny enough the glovebox on my S3 does the same slow opening thing too so I might try this as well👍🏾
Many thanks Chris - worked a treat! Top cap a bit fiddly and I used mountain bike suspension grease (bit of Teflon in it as well) and worked a treat. Cheers again! Will return for other tips in future!!! Just got car at weekend - loads of wee bits to do!!
glad the vid helped mate 👍remember to follow social media for TT meets, and hope you enjoy your TT
Thanks for the video. I'm mainly watching this to look for a method to replace the old iPod connector and swap it with a Bluetooth/USB/AUX module that will sit in its place.
glad the vid helped 👍
Hi Chris, glad I could help with the suggestion of how to sort it :-)
Cheers mate 👍 good shout glad I got it sorted and can show people how to do it
Chris can you show how to get the handle off the glove box. it seems like its always locked, key in or out.
Great video again buddy. Need to do this on mine, i stopped opening the glove box altogether on my RS because of how slow it opens. I was unfortunate on my last TT 3.2 and didn’t do it in time and the hinges broke
cheers mate👍definitely worth doing before the brackets and hinges break as you know
@@CarChris82 Definitely mate. I heard and seen people mention about replacing the damper but your fix looks good if not better. And of course its saves £40 on the new damper. Going to do mine once iv nipped and got some all purpose
Definitely worth trying to repair than replace on this part first doesn't take long
stumbled across this yesterday and today decided I would check my glovebox door speed.. closed to open in 30Seconds...lol makes me wonder what the speed should really be like. ? if I bought a new piston, would it have any sort of grease..would it be slow..also..wonder if you could simply pop the side panel off the dash and get to the piston through the opening? might try that..first .. but good video.thanks
Yes you can access it through the side panel 👍🏻
How come you didn’t show removing the airbag connections? That was the whole point for me. I can’t find a video showing that anywhere.
Because it doesn't need disconnecting to remove the glove box 👍🏻
I know posted a while ago, but did you have to disconnect battery first?? Thanks for the videos ❤
Hi I didn't need to disconnect the battery 👍🏻appreciate the support
Good job Chris, I have to take out my glove box to change the pollen filter, I believe the heater fan is there too so will take a look as the heater fan has developed an annoying squeak, have you had that problem?
Cheers mate 👍 no not had that problem

Great video any idea what to do if the box wont open at all?
Do you mean its locked ?
@@CarChris82 not locked I’ve just bought a tt where the glovebox handles broken off and its closed but I’d need it opened to get the three screws at the top inside. Any ideas?
Mine does that
Get it sorted mate or the hinges will snap off and you will need a new glovebox
Of course my 8j has 7 bolts holding the glove box and it is nearly impossible to put back on 🤬
If you'd have taken the side panel off you wouldn't have needed to remove the glovebox!
I know mate but it was better for the video to show the glovebox strut with it removed
@@CarChris82 Sure, if it's just greasing you don't have to remove as glovebox open you can grease it. Mine had already broken the hinge so had to repair that.
@ Andy Buckland - That's true, but only for the Coupe. For the Roadster, the Antenna Amp blocks access, so the glove box has to come out.
