How to Repair an A6 Instrument Cluster

1. Open up the hood of your Audi A6. Locate the battery and the terminals connected to it. Loosen the bolt which fixes the negative cable to the terminal with a wrench. Lift the cable away from the terminal.
2. Locate the rubber bezel on the dashboard. You will find the bezel around the edges of the instrument cluster. Lift the bezel from around the dash and place it in a safe area for reattachment later.
3. Find the three screws attached to the instrument cluster and use the screwdriver to remove them. Disconnect the electrical connector from the rear of the panel and remove the instrument cluster from the dashboard.
4. Replace any damaged bulbs by turning the bulb in a counterclockwise direction until it comes free from the cluster. Install the new bulbs by turning them in the opposite direction until they lock in place.
5. Reattach the instrument cluster or install a completely new one by following the removal steps in reverse. Attach the negative cable to the battery terminal. Turn on the engine to check that the instrument cluster works correctly.
