Change Instrument Cluster LEDs

[badger89]

I wrote this guide primarily for the Ibiza / Cordoba but can't see the Fabia or Polo being any different - someone willing to confirm?

Having looking at the PCB for the Fabia and Polo clocks, this guide would also work with the exception of removing the fuel gauge needle - you will need to rotate it anti-clockwise to get it off.

I'll update the guide to include Fabia and Polo in due time.

Yeah, nice work fella.

One tip for removing surface-mount LEDs easily - a friend with a second soldering iron makes it much quicker, easier and safer (less chance of damage to PCB tracks/pads). Heat both joints simultaneously then lift off vertically with teeezers once both melt.
