| Octy II - Ash-tray lid won't close As title - the lid of the ash tray on my Octy won't stay closed. I know the tray itself pulls out for emptying, but this is in position as normal. Where is the catch mechanism? Edit: I had a go at prising off the centre trim around the radio and heater controls last week in anticipation of changing to the silver one (http://www.briskoda.net/forums/new-o...t=centre+trim). Could I have knocked / damaged the ash tray mechanism when I did this?

| Re: Octy II - Ash-tray lid won't close Is it getting trapped on the bottom of the Stereo surround/facsia ?

| Re: Octy II - Ash-tray lid won't close a trip to the dealers? Have you had a look underneath the gearstick surround - perhaps that's where the catch is ?

| Re: Octy II - Ash-tray lid won't close You can remove the whole ashtray, mechanism, lid the works. To remove it, with the ashtray open, grasp the plastic trim for the gearstick surround and tug on this, the trim should come away completely. Lift it up towards the top of the gear leaver, you should then see 2 x Torx screws. Remove these 2 screws, and gently pull the whole ashtray forward, you may need to wiggle it a bit.

| Briskodian  | Re: Octy II - Ash-tray lid won't close Mine has stopped closing. I did manage to put out the whole assemble but still I can quite see why the cover does not hold shut. |

| Re: Octy II - Ash-tray lid won't close I think something had snapped off - I mentioned mine when the car was in for its service a few weeks ago and it was replaced under waranty without any problem.
