Disassembling And Assembling Instrument Cluster

NOTE: The instrument cluster can be disassembled in three component groups.







To open the instrument cluster, place it on a soft, dust-free surface. When the instrument cluster is open, take care not to touch or damage any dials or solder joints of the display unit and electronic PCB.

Open the instrument cluster
1. Pull off the adjustment button of the clock and trip mileage counter.
2. Remove the sheetmetal springs from the left and right fixing lugs.
3. Release the electronic unit on both sides using a screwdriver (do not tilt).







4. Unclip the centre of the electronic unit at the bottom. Hold the released green guide rails outwards with a screwdriver. Take the electronic unit upwards out of the display unit evenly, pulling alternate sides.
5. Undo the clips (new version) in the indicator light housing and carefully take the display unit out of the front frame.

Assemble instrument cluster

2. Before installing the electronic unit, check that the two green guide rails are pushed outwards.
3. Assemble the electronic unit and display unit carefully and evenly (do not tilt). Engage the clip in the centre at the bottom. Close the locking tab on the upper part of the electronic unit in the top of the front frame bracket.
4. Using a screwdriver, push the two green guide rails inwards over the contact connector (take care that they are not crooked).
5. Push the right and left sheetmetal springs over the fixing lugs.
6. Push on the adjustment button of the clock and trip mileage counter.
