In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the instrument panel in the Volkswagen Polo, an extremely simple and quick operation. Before proceeding, let's open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, so we can work in complete safety. Let's start by going inside the car, then unclip the upper plastic cover of the steering column. We then locate the two screws indicated, unscrew them using a Torx T20 key and remove the instrument panel from its housing.
