Poor Elvir can't get an answer........

**pnsji** · 12-12-2003, 10:57 AM

are you talking about ash tray assembly or the small coin piece that is ejectable?

**manny** · 12-12-2003, 11:52 AM

If you eliminate that Audi in your signature, I'll tell you.

**C280 JR** · 12-12-2003, 10:44 PM

#1) this is wood trim around ashtray that is loose, #3) is the side that has a screw/ hook/?? broken, and the ashtray is loose on that side #2) is ok, but just to show better of what im talking about in #3

Elvir

**C280 JR** · 12-12-2003, 10:45 PM

There is a small metal piece thick like a paper clip, that poped out in #3, which is making the ash tray all loose

IF anybody knows how to dissasemble the whole thing and can explain it in detail that would be great

Elvir,

use your pen cam and take a picture of your part. it will help us.

**C280 JR** · 12-12-2003, 11:15 PM

you will not be able to tell anything by the picture, of my 1 mp camera...all you will see is that the ash tray is tilted little bit, it will not be usable as reference

ELvir

**JRE320** · 12-14-2003, 12:31 AM

Remove the shift gate then llift the entire wood. Then take out the black plastic tray in front of it and you will see the screws.
Now your on your own from there.

**C280 JR** · 12-14-2003, 08:43 AM

by tray you are talking about that long gap between the ash tray and the shifter...if so, i tried to remove it but its being held by the side wall of the dash

Elvir

**JRE320** · 12-14-2003, 10:29 AM

Elvir!!!! read the instruction before removing the tray...

ok then you wont be able to understand how i could have told you how to fix it in 5 seconds.

**C280 JR** · 12-15-2003, 08:36 AM

can you still try to explain, or at least steps on how to dissasemble the whole thing

ELvir

**pnsji** · 12-15-2003, 09:21 AM

Elvir,

If you are being nice, everybody will try to help you. You are asking for help, not commanding people to help you. There is NO obligation to help other people in here.

I could assist you in removing the ash tray:
1. shift to Neutral (easier to access the other parts)
2. Take out the plastic shit gate ring(for 97 and newer). On the older model, i don't remember.
3. Take out the shifter console(wood trim).
4. take out the rubber tray between the ashtray and the wood console that you just removed.
5. look carefully at this diagram:

The ashtray(7) are held by two screws(23). After you take out both screws. you could slide the ash tray assembly out.
6. detach the wire behind it and you will get the ashtray out.

Caution: If it's tight, take out screws number 24 and you can wiggle both the ashtray console and the upper console.

**JRE320** · 12-15-2003, 10:53 AM

That's what I'm trying to say. Is it hard to imagine on how to take off shift gate and the wooden consol?

You still need the whole pic ?

**C280 JR** · 12-15-2003, 12:16 PM

ok so far i understand how to get to those screws, but i still dont know how to remove the rubber tray between the shifter and ash tray, its stick to the sides, and it will not come out

ELvir

**pnsji** · 12-15-2003, 12:22 PM

Please be specific. What year is your car?
I already said that ONLY in 97, take out the shiftgate ring.

If you think you are not competent or comfortable in taking it out yourself, maybe you should take it to a shop/dealer to have them fixed it.

**C280 JR** · 12-15-2003, 12:36 PM

my car is a 95, and i cannot see the scres in the picture because of that rubber piece

Elvir

Elvir

You have to follow the instruction one by one.
Of course you cannot see the screws because the rubber piece still there.

like I said, if you are not competen enough, go to dealer and have them fix it for you.... should be like 5 minutes job,

**C280 JR** · 12-15-2003, 01:21 PM

ok i took out the rubber tray, and the screws, now i cannot remove the ash tray, as it says in directions, the #24 scres are those the ones below the CD player on the bottom side of upper wood trim
