retrofitting front cup holder
- Thread starter boomhauwer

It is actually very easy job to do.
Takes only about 15 minutes.
The radio, storage compartment (under the radio) and the bezel / facia around it needs to come off. All the switches and the cup holder are attached to a single bracket which is screwed on the bezel / facia. After the bracket is removed you can pop off the dummy cover and slide in the cup holder unit.
You will only need a torx screw driver (size 15 iirc) and a thin prying tool (made of PLASTIC / nylon to prevent scratches).

You sure? i thought all mk4s come with cup holders, i've seen reference models with them, it should be by the hazard switch
If you don't fancy messing with the dash you can get one that fits in just behind the handbrake, slightly out of the way but at least its harder to spill

You don't happen to know where there's a piccy of one of them do you buddy?
I've already got a cup holder in mine but would fit the one in the back if it looks good, as I don't smoke and won't let anyone smoke in my car due to the smell, so I see the cigarette compartment slightly useless!
I dont know what you are talking about, can anyone post a picture of this cigarette compartment or where it is?

there is just a black cover next to the hazzard button. I have the cupholder behind my armrest, but it is annoying to get your (open) can while driving...
can anyone look up how much the 'pop-out' cupholder in the front cost? (via etka?)
what you can do with a ibiza is, a 33cl cola can, can balance on the small edge in front of your aircon vent
Winds me up that you can't just open the cup holder up and fix the broken spring or whatever has snapped. It is such an inferior piece of kit.
But what is this cigarette compartment? I have what I assumed was a cup holder there?

where can i buy the rear cup holder from to replace the ash tray?
googled and ebayed but nothing there, search for etka took me to vagcat.com, so registered and logged in then when i click on catalogue it takes me to vagcat.com/epc but all i get is an empty window. should i just go to a vag dealer and get the part from them?

Having read the above posts it seems you can get them from your local SEAT dealer for ~£5 if I've understood it all correctly...
So yes just go to the dealer.
i know seems they are put together with anything in the parts bin! whats this about a different texture on the dashboard? pics?
