How to Repair an Instrument Cluster in an Audi A6

1. Determine whether the full instrument cluster needs to be replaced. If some of them bulbs arent working then you simply need to replace the broken bulbs. Open the hood and use the wrench to remove the bolt clamp from the negative terminal. Lift the negative cable from the terminal.
2. Lower the steering wheel to its lowest possible position within the steering column. Use a phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws fixed to the bezel. The bezel will either be rubber or plastic. You can find the bezel on the dashboard around the instrument cluster.
3. Remove the three mounting screws which fix the cluster to the dash. Slide the cluster out of the dash. Unhook the electrical connector from the back of the cluster.
4. If the bulbs in the cluster are what needs repairing, simply unscrew the damaged bulbs and replace them with full functioning LEDs. If the problem is worse then simply replace the full cluster.
5. To install the cluster and bezel, simply follow the removal steps in reverse. Reattach the negative cable to the negative battery terminal. Turn on the engine to check that the instrument cluster now works correctly.
