How to remove the speedometer of the Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Dashboard

In this video we can see how to remove the speedometer from the dashboard of a Volkswagen Polo 9N: we will start by unscrewing the screw located inside the dashboard cover, which we will need a star screwdriver to remove. Once that is removed, we can remove the cover of the dashboard. By doing this, we will have exposed the two side screws and the top one, which is an allen key. We can remove the cover structure. Now we have discovered two more screws, one on the speedometer and one on the tachometer; we remove them and lift up the device, removing the electrical connectors located behind it. And here is our speedometer removed from the Polo dashboard.
