Cracked Dash/Radio Surround

Recommended Posts

Whilst pulling away from a junction rather quickly this morning, my abs warning light came flying towards me! Thought it had just come loose, but on closer inspection I can see the plastic surroung has cracked. Cats bottoms. What options have I got - will it glue, or is it a new section - if so, how much will it be and how easy is it (not!) to fit? Cheers for looking and for any help offered in advance.

Mine is cracked in the same place as well, i have tried getting one from VAG and they quoted my £96 + vat only ony problem, its now an obsoulete part :(

 

No one makes an aftermarket part either, the only thing you can do is to look out for a complete dash with it or keep your eyes peeled for any VR6's that are breaking.

Quite normal, mine is cracked near the radio..

 

Another option is to have a it plastic welded and sprayed proffesionally...

Yep, very common. Even 2nd hand ones go for up to £50. I got a 2nd hand one as mine had been broken in about 10 places by an alarm "fitter", I reinforced mine on the rear face by supergluing thin bits of plastic to it in the stressed areas.
