Re: mk2 dash removal
James , brilliant write up. Made the job really easy as I have never had to remove a dash before. As my backyard is getting cleared I'm starting to break one of the Sciroccos as it had a crack free dash,
I made up this right angled screwdriver. This was to get access to the screw behind the centre air vent without having to pop it out
Its this screw here is the one you could miss, You might see a bit of light on it. If you have a 90 degree bit it works really well to get this screw out.
I also found it easier removing the under tray where the steering wheel is in order to remove the cables from the speedo by slowly pulling them off by hand from below.
Could one of the admin team post this as Jame's write up most have taken some time and im sure itll be of use to someone else having to tackle this job.

Great write up thank you it really really helped - found this forum in google when typing in mk2 dash removal and just signed up to say thanks for putting that together, couldn’t have done it without the guide with pictures. Thanks again.
Re: mk2 dash removal
Had this thread bookmarked for ages, waiting for a chance to remove my dash to fix various electrical issues. Unfortunately all the pictures have vanished now. Is there a version anywhere which still includes the pictures please? Cheers
