[A4] Cup holder unit in lower console

[Richard Hurt]

Cool, I found some help on the Audi World
FAQ<http://www.audiworld.com/tech/int3.shtml>.
 Apparently, its 2 bolts and 3 nuts, and I had those 2 bolts out earlier
today.  I was so close to getting it yesterday, but failed to do it.
 However, this morning  I was able to get it out pretty easily with the only
problem being the handbrake cover, which I think I broke the catch on.  :/

Unfortunately, I think my cupholder is actually broken and somebody on eBay
want's $80 for a new one!   I've tried to repair it as best I can with epoxy
and stiffening wires but I'm not sure it will hold.  Ah well, it's the best
I can do for now anyway.  :)
