Changing the Instrument Cluster on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Instrument cluster

Want to change the instrument cluster on an Audi A3? Let's see how to remove it from inside the dashboard. Remove the plastic cover beneath the instrument cluster (without breaking the plastic clips) and detach it from the dashboard. Then, use a screwdriver to unscrew the fastening screws of the instrument cluster. After removing the screws, pull the piece out from the dashboard and disconnect the power cable. Install a new piece or reinstall the same one (replace the LEDs/bulbs in the cluster). Refit the screw cover under the instrument cluster. Check the complete functionality of the piece.
