  • I removed the center console in my last video, however I chose to make it into it's own video. There are many reasons why you would need to remove it. I will end up having a video later, that would require the centre console being removed again.
    If you're trying to get to your park brake, run wires for a stereo or something else, let me know if the video helped you.

    Swapping out some stuff from my Golf to install a GTI armrest and routing the rear center vents into the blower, this was really helpful hunting down all the screws. Thanks for making this, need more MK6 stuff like this.

    THANK YOU for this video. I’m changing a shifter bushing and have to remove everything to do so. There were videos out there, but not for my model. One video walked me through disassembling the front part of the console, but for my model I need to disassemble both front and back. Your video was very helpful.👍🏼👍🏼

    any issues with lights or codes? i noticed you had to have the battery connected so the shifter could work to get it maneuvered out. in the vw shop we could just reset everything with a laptop, but i dont look forward to doing this at home when i add some sound deadening this winter

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No issues with codes, as long as you don't disconnect something that works with your Airbags.
      Nothing in my center console was hooked up to Air Bags. When I disconnect the shifter, it did not throw any codes, so you should be fine.
      I also do not have push button start, I'm still Key ignition.

  • @sociallydistanced5407
    @sociallydistanced5407 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are you able to access the back of the ac evaporator housing when you remove the console? I think the condensation leaks around there. My carpet is wet but I checked the drain tube, it's unobstructed and bone dry.

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I honestly wasn't looking for that, I'm sorry, I do not remember seeing anything other then ducting for vents. If you remove the driver side kick pannel that connects to the center console you should be able to see the heater core, not sure where the Evaporator is, I saw online it's possibly above that. Please let me know how you fared. I hope this was helpful.

    Hi. I have a mk6 golf, the side passenger panel at 6:09 rattles when i drive especially in the winter. And it is a bit loose. Can i tighten it?

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, that side panel was a pain. You have to make sure those clips lock in, there are not adjustable and yes they are a pain. However it should not be loose. I feel for you.

  • @victorlopez2143
    @victorlopez2143 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tried removing the back of the console (where the cup holder goes which has the 12v power and door control lock) as you did by pulling on it and it doesn't budge... Anything that you did prior to that ? I don't have a cup holder. Have the basic model like you do..

  • @Zami83
    @Zami83 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you advice how you pull out the plastic cover at 0:37s? I tried & mine wouldn’t budge & it starts to deform when I tried with hard force.

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try pushing the back of that bottom handle piece down, then pull up on the lip as they are two pieces, it may need to separate to come out...I had a try a couple different things before being able to remove it.
      I just yanked mine out. Make sure there are no bolts just above the seam on your piece. If it's cup holders in that spot, they are bolted in.

    Where are you located. I just got a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta 3 days after we signed the s's contract the cup holders in that center console literally popped out so we're trying to figure out how to put them back in. Like they popped out from underneath
