Hi guys.

 

Is it possible at all to remove just the glass from the instrument cluster and replace it? If so is it possible to do so without extracting the entire instrument cluster? 

 

Many thanks - Nick

Yes it is, it's a separate part, it's about £50 from the stealers

Yes as above but the whole cluster has to come out.

 

However it is quiet straight forward to remove, should be removable in 10 mins with a trim removal tool and a torx tool set.

 

From what I recall, someone will need to verify.

 

Make sure steering is straight ahead and the wheel is adjusted so its fully outward (to give clearance)

Remove the trim from below the cluster, (it simply pulls out with clips holding in place?)

Undo the Torx screws that this now reveals.

Run the trim removal tool around the top of the cluster between the dash and the cluster to release the clips.

Pull cluster forward, disconnect wiring.

Refitting is reverse except apply small amount of pressure at top of cluster to engage upper clips.

as above, once torx are undone, just slide in an old cd between top of cluster and dash. cluster will pop forward. jobs a piece of cake.

Hi. Great advice thank you. Although not shy of diy when it comes to cars when you say verify what exactly does that mean? And thank you guys again, excellent replies.
