Instrument Cluster Replacement

Model: Audi A6 MK 2, C5 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Instrument cluster

Replacing the entire instrument cluster is a simple and quick operation. To avoid damaging plastic parts during removal and installation, place a cloth or something similar on the steering column. Remove the plastic cover at the base of the cluster that hides the three fastening screws. Take out the three screws and, with great care, pull the entire instrument cluster outward, being careful of the various connectors located at the back. Disconnect all connectors carefully to avoid pulling any wires. Reinstall the new instrument cluster by reversing the process. Check for proper operation.
