Cosmetically challenged 07 Ambiente PD 105

[kprm77]

Hoping to make it less cosmetically challenged over time.

 

Despite being an old git I've no experience of working on cars, so this is noob type stuff with most likely many errors.

 

Just replaced the centre vent thing that housed the hazard switch.

 

Here's the old one with broken vents and cracked plastic by the hazard light:

 

 

New one looking a lot better. New one is from a 2009 - 2013 Octavia but fits and the hazards are working fine so I'm happy:

 

 

Hardest bit was working out how to disconnect the hazard switch. Didn't realise it popped out through the front of the unit, allowing better access to unclip the plug.

 

Already tried getting the air con re-gassed. Not convinced that's working properly so potentially more investigation needed.

 

Car is booked in for a major service this Friday, then on Saturday it's with Tech1e for a retro fit of the cruise control.

 

Got some minor bits coming as well including the boot rubber pull thing and some trim for one of the roof rails....
