Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    So I pushed my cup holder in yesterday and now it won't pop out.

    Anyone had this issue before/fixed it?

    I'm wondering whether I'll need to take the centre console off the dash to get in and see what the deal is.

    Thankfully, this is the first thing that's gone wrong with the car, so I'm glad it's only a minor niggle.

          I use the ash tray for that. I know you can buy replacement cup holders from Oriental parts (formerly Vaglink). If you cant fix yours maybe do that ...

            Mine got stuck. all i did was (cos i had the tools at the time) remove the radio and push hard against the back of the cup holder till it ratcheted its way out. then sprayed some silicon spray on the runners to smooth it out. never had a problem since

              IMHO, the dash-mounted cup holder in Polo's was the most over engineered piece of s*&t I had seen in a car... until push-button ignitions became all the rage!!

                Hahah, my cup holder jammed and broke approximately 6 hours after driving it brand new out of the dealers. Popped into VW though and they un-jammed it somehow, and told me "ALWAYS press on the lines to push it in/out"
