Indeed. Called FCP. No dice.

FYI sometimes its NOT just the button that is broke. If you look really carefully, there is a small lip on each side, if it is broke off on either side, even a new button will not work. You have to change out the whole housing. I bought a used assembly on ebay and it worked good. Its hard to describe, but if you go to install the button and it doesnt want to say, you will see what I mean.

On my part, it seems that the retainer tab on each side of the button itself is what breaks after a while

not sure Ive known of the holder..........special option? where is it located ?

It's in the overhead console, by the sunroof/pano control.

I have a few of these in good shape. The best preventative thing you can do is fill with epoxy...

Also have a 3D model STL ( I designed and printed, worked for years till the PLA split - ABS would be better) of this if you have a printer.

Exactly this. Did it some 7 years ago and has never since failed after daily use. Just beware of the spring steel metal piece when refitting. I sliced one of my fingers wide open when refitting...

yup too many small plastic parts that break or fall off and do not know where they belong. SOME have vw part numbers on them so one can eventually figure it out, but certainly tedious as these cars age and the parts become brittle

Lot's of plastic bits. Most interesting, is the little plastic coolant tubing under the intake manifold. I tapped the hole with 3/8 NPT and used a brass fitting.

I think you mean "kilometers away".

I have a 3d printer, can you send me the 3d model ? If some one else need it, I can also print and shipped to their address from Turkiye.

Jamescoop

What file format? And we'd have to make an agreement if youre going to sell them.

Bufy 955

Format can be , .Step, .IGES, .Rhino(3dm), .wire, .Obj, .Stl, .3ds, .fbx, .dae. Basically any format that can be open in Rhino, Alias and 3dsmax.
I am not gonna sell them, if there won't be hundreds... They can be my welcome present I can send to your adress and you only have to pay the shipment.

How many 955's were built?
