Remove dash guide.

[jester2k]

I cannot find a guide on removing the dash (to replace the clock lights), most of the guides in the Guides section reference a webpage Fubar? that doesn't exist (even in google cache) anymore?

Cheers.

Remove dash strips, undo the screws (torx) underneath. Remove upper steering column shroud, further 2 screws (just under speedo). Then remove 3 screws by windscreen (in the air vent that runs along the windscreen base). Finally remove 1 screw each side, plastic screws, close to a-pillar. Then remove.
Or buy a haynes manual, much more in depth guide in there.

thats right, i selfishly stopped paying for the website.

Warren's summarised it well, apart from there's 2 screws under the steering casing too.

Don't need to be removed, the top just pulls off.

:evil:

Make sure you pull the dash top towards the back of the car... don't try and lift it up and you run the risk of triggering the airbag.

Also, the A pillar covers need to come off first.

13 screws in all and when removeing the dash pull from the middle,

Really? Didn't have that on any of my 4 ph2 RS's, but my ph1 does have the shrouds screwed on?

 

[fUbAr]

it appears you don't have to remove them on the Ph2 mate... I just always have lol

Fubar your website was excellent, why didn't you transfer your guides onto here?

+1 or use a free hosting site?


Anyway, On the Ph1 you need to remove the steering casing, two screws under neither near the front and 1 screw a bit further back. The lonely screw is quite a long one.

Depending on the size of the guides I have some webspace that they could be thrown on, all I use it for currently is to host jpegs

 

[jester2k]

Cheers .. and if you want the guide back up, Im sure i have some webspace somewhere.

be careful not to break the 2 plastic clips in the middle of the dashboard!!
If you do, it wont go back on properly again, and you'll need some really really strong plastic weld, or replace the other section of the dashboard
