Heater vents

[robby]

Do the heater vents (the 4 round ones on the dash) just prise out then push back in or is there more to it?
just bought a set of silver S3 ones as an upgrade - didn't notice mine have a chrome part on the front already ?

Did you buy them cheap on wednesday morning off ebay?

 

[robby]

bought them last night off ebay, the seller has another set listed tonight?

 

[Lee_R]

Oh ok! I spent 3 days negotiating with a breaker for a set, he listed them on a buy it now for me and sent me an email. I didnt get the email for 2 hours and in that time somebody else hit buy it now! I was gutted!!!!!

They do just pull out, slide something thin behind. The ideal tool is a wallpaper scraper, just ease them out carefully

This is the new listing from the seller (hope these aren't mine he's reselling) - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-S3-A3-Ge...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a57e74717

I offered £75 and he accepted

Was this the same seller you saw?

 

[Lee_R]

No he isnt the guy! He sells a lot of Audi stuff to be fair, had some bits off him in the past and all was fine. Probably has a few sets!

How much were you looking to spend as you could offer this seller £75 as a buy now

 

[Lee_R]

Personally they are not something i'd pay £75 for, they arent that much different to the normal ones but i do like them better. The other guy was asking £35 delivered hence my disapointment. If I was to buy a set, i prefer the ones from the mk2 TT

They always fetch £70+ on ebay

 

[robby]

£35????????? ******, i offered £75 hoping he'd refuse - i thought if he refused i would take them off my shopping list but he accepted ?

 

[Lee_R]

If you relist them, they will fetch at least £60, you would get most of your cash back

Some people have said that you need to turn the dials between the positions (positions being a soft stop point between 12 oclock and 3 oclock) as the mechanism needs to move to get them out. Not sure if you need to do this but I did and after working a blunt scraper all away around them come stright out but are pretty tough to do. Simple to install, just push the new ones in

 

[Lee_R]

Yeah thats true but as you are removing them, when your wiggling you can feel them sort of click out.

Well i fitted them today and they were as easy as everyone said to fit, thanks for the help
