How to remove and replace the dashboard finish of the Volkswagen Passat B8.

Model: Volkswagen Passat B8, 3G, MK 8 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Dashboard

In this video we can see how to replace the dashboard finish of the Volkswagen Passat B8: we pry with a flat screwdriver on the outer side of the finish so that we can also lift it in the central part. We continue to pry to remove the clips. We protect the finish of the radio with bodywork tape, so that we can also pry in the corner near the steering wheel. Once the entire piece is extracted, we disconnect the electrical connector located at the radio unit, and apply it to the new finish, which we purchased on E-Bay with the code 226857321933 at a price of 50.00 euros, plus 10.00 euros for delivery. All that remains is to remove the last piece that remains on the other side of the steering wheel and finish the job.
