Hi All

 

I have 16 plate Superb SE Business

 

My other half spilt Lucozade on the controls and they are all now sticky, i've tried spraying solvent cleaner on the controls several times which has helped but still not resolved :(

 

Does any one know how I can remove the controls and clean them pleaseeeee?

 

Also the driver side LED temperature is distorted see photo 

Oh dear.  Sugary liquids are the devil to electronics but hopefully the LCD will come back when it dries out thoroughly. Worst case you can always use the sync feature and rely on the left side gauge. 

 

What solvent cleaners have you tried? I’d be thinking along the lines of IPA, with a tiny dab of acetone on a cotton bud for stubborn areas (testing an inconspicuous spot first and going easy, as acetone is quite aggressive on plastics). Stupid as it sounds have you tried a mug of boiling water and microfibre cloths?

Yep IPA is the one I used - air dusted too and nothing came out.  Buttons are always hard to press when it's cold!!

 

No I haven't tried mug of boiling water - I'm assuming you dont mean pour it on lol?

Baby wipes for the controls, you can only hope the LED comes back to life when it dries out.

God, no!  I was thinking more dipping a cloth in and wiping around while it’s still damp and hot. If it’s the actual buttons that are stiff due to sugar dried inside you’re probably going to end up just waiting for it to wear off through use. 

Doesn't look like she's learnt her lesson either judging by the contents of the passenger footwell

Hahaha

That's my mess... company car so I live it in sometimes

 

Reason I'm asking is that I'm looking at Karoq.... apparently I was the first person to unofficially test drive it yesterday

Was that at Carrs in Bridgewater?  Naughty boys have got theirs on test early...
