How to Repair the Cup Holder on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

This video demonstrates how to repair the cup holder on a Volkswagen Golf IV. In this vehicle, the cup holder is quite clever, as it is made of metal and is hidden within a mechanism that allows it to pop out when pressing the front. Being metal, it is very robust and does not break easily, but it can become deformed with use, as is the case with this vehicle shown in the video. However, it can be repaired by extracting the mechanism and applying pressure to the external springs to increase their resistance once reassembled. By reinserting the mechanism, it will function again.
