Volkswagen Passat central console removal method is: 1. Pry off the entire central trim panel of the Passat; 2. Remove the air vent of the trim panel. Taking the Volkswagen Passat 2020 model as an example, it is a 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4933mm, width 1836mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 68.5l, and trunk capacity 521l. The Volkswagen Passat 2020 model is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, maximum power of 110 kilowatts, maximum torque of 250 Newton meters, front-wheel drive, front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension, and rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
As a friend who enjoys taking care of my car myself, I have disassembled and reassembled the central console of the Volkswagen Passat several times. The specific steps are as follows: first, locate the hidden screw holes near the glove compartment and slowly unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver. Then, gently pry open the clips at the armrest using your hands or a plastic pry bar, being careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the plastic parts. If the console has connected wires, such as the cigarette lighter or gear indicator light, disconnect the power cables first to prevent short circuits. Before lifting the entire console out, make sure all screws are removed and then slowly pull it out. After completion, check if the clips are intact to avoid looseness when reinstalling. Basic tool sets are sufficient for the entire process, and wearing gloves during operation can protect the interior surfaces. The key is to be patient and proceed step by step to avoid mistakes.
