Guide to Removing the Instrument Cluster

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Instrument cluster

It is extremely simple to remove the instrument cluster without going to official service. Since it is a press-fit piece, you will only need to obtain the official removal tool or a suitable screwdriver to assist you in removing the cluster. Insert the removal tool into the small hole on the right at the end of the panel up to the notch on the instrument to allow it to disengage; then detach the right side by prying with your hand; repeat the same operation by inserting the removal tool into the left hole. At this point, with both hands, gently pull the instrument cluster out (disconnecting the related wiring) to perform the necessary maintenance.
