Aluminium Air Conditioning Control Knobs – Restore your dashboard in 60 seconds
Is your dashboard looking tired? Are your AC knobs faded, scratched, or difficult to grip? There is no need for expensive garage visits or replacement parts. This set of 3 rotary air conditioning control knobs fits directly over your existing shafts — no tools, no dismantling, and absolutely no hassle.
Note: Exclusively compatible with climate control systems featuring standard rotary knobs. Please verify your original knob style before ordering.
Why choose this set? (Key Benefits):
- Under-a-minute installation — simply push-fit onto the original shaft; no tools required and no need to remove the centre console.
- Polished aluminium ring — the premium metal finish resists sweat, cleaning products, and daily wear, unlike the original plastic which degrades over time.
- Complete set for all 3 functions — control temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction with a single upgrade.
- OEM-precise fit — dimensions and profiles are engineered to match original knobs perfectly, ensuring no wobble or friction.
- Wide compatibility — fits 11 popular models including VW Golf 5/6, Passat B6/B7, Jetta, Tiguan, Touran, Skoda Octavia 2, Seat Altea, Leon 2, and Toledo 3.
Details and Performance
Each knob is constructed from impact-resistant ABS plastic, featuring an outer ring of machined aluminium with a glossy finish that adds both durability and a superior aesthetic compared to standard plastic parts. The geometry is precision-engineered to replicate the exact profile and diameter of OEM knobs, ensuring a firm fit without interfering with the existing adjustment mechanism. The metal surface is scratch-resistant and impervious to common interior cleaning chemicals.
