Hello to all.

I have an Octavia III and my kids broke the rear armrest handle, to open and access the boot.

Actually what was damaged was the spring, which a few days later also disappeared from the car.

I don't know if anyone can tell me how to repair this handle, at the dealer they quoted me for the complete replacement of the part (the rear central armrest), when it is only a spring.

I attach a photo so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thank you.

They only come as a single piece, so there's no seperate spring to purchase/broken handle option.

 

A scrap yard is your best choice for a car that is being broken, I cannot confirm the correct part number as there's 2x chassis choices.

Thank you for the information.

It will be difficult to find such a part in a scrapyard but I will try.

What is the name of the part or the block of the part? to search the internet for the exact part.

Regards

You need to post at the least a partial VIN, leave off the last few 6 numbers so that I can try and locate it.

Oops, I mean whole VIN, but blank last 6 digit's.

I have reported post to ask admin to remove number, so if you can post your VIN without the last 6 numbers, I can look.

As if by magic…

I have a beige one from a superb im giving away if thats any good to you? Could strip the mechanism out of it and use it possibly?

This might be a good idea for him to look into given the price of the armrest section, he is in Spain iirc, so if this is possible to be stripped, then you can negotiate some sheckles to be transferred between you both.

I think you have black leather, unless I didn't see image clearly

 

Part 17 that you would like to buy, is not available seperately for this model, so it falls to part 15 only which is a sum of all the parts highlighted.

A real shame really.

 

So it's 5E0 885 205 AG HMB where the HMB is just the colour code, so you should search for 5E0 885 205 AG and then see what is out there (also try to search without spaces as well, as some websites put them together)

thank you for the offer.

I'll look for alternatives, managing a shipment from abroad can be complex and I'm not sure if it will work afterwards.

Anyway, I'll keep it in mind in case I change my mind.

 

thank you very much

Thank you very much.

I'll try searching the internet and see what I can find.
