Instructions for Dashboard Removal

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Dashboard

If you need to remove the entire dashboard from the cabin (which is essential if, for example, you need to replace the heater radiator), you must be patient as there are many elements to remove in the correct sequence; start by removing the side trim caps, then move on to the air vents, the light switch button, airbag, steering wheel, indicator stalk, and steering column; continue with the instrument cluster, the centre tunnel console, and the glove compartment; disconnect the various connectors and access the fixing pins of the dashboard subframe to complete the disassembly.
