Dash removal - rocker8742 - 29-12-2013
Anyone got any tips? Following the matrix guide on the gti forum but I've got the point of pulling the dash out and hit a sticking point
Feels like something is holding it back on the drivers side of the dash but there is a reasonable amount of movement there it's just not quite enough to let the dash move round

Under wiper motor there is a black box for the wiring undo that and there is bolts under windscreen and either side if dash under neath

I've got the ones out under the scuttle panel and the 2 either side inside the car already does that box really need to come off?

The only one i missed was the one at the bottom of the centre console it was hidden. Then you gotta get the 2 holding the heater box on so you can get the matrix out.

The connection box dose need to come off
just remember dont remove the grommet from the fire wall, just cut the flanges off the old matrix to remove it then cut between the pipes to make fitting easier

Don't seem to be able to get that connector box off I've taken out the hex screw cover and the torx bolt should it just pop off?
RE: Dash removal - karl1989 - 29-12-2013

RE: Dash removal - rocker8742 - 29-12-2013
No lol, noticed a few little bits I'd missed so I've done those but it was getting dark so packed it in for now mate
RE: Dash removal - cully - 29-12-2013

Dash removal - rocker8742 - 29-12-2013

RE: Dash removal - cully - 29-12-2013

Haha what were you doing stalking me again
It's been fairly simple up until this point just make sure you realise there are 2 guides on the 6 forum and make use of both like I didn't lol
RE: Dash removal - Daniel306 - 30-12-2013
Im sure Darren did a video on it
RE: Dash removal - Tom - 30-12-2013
I followed the guide on the 6 forum and it was fine. In my phase 1 i definately didnt unplug the big plug under the wiper motor!
RE: Dash removal - Toms306 - 30-12-2013
I also followed the guide on the '6 forum to remove the first one...its surprisingly easy tbh...even easier if someones previously done the matrix and left half the bolts out!
I did miss a bolt under the scuttle the first time round though, thought it was just caught on the wiring so kept pulling....and then managed to rip the dash clean off the bolt post thing, good job it was getting scrapped lol. So yeah, just make sure you've got all the bolts before wrenching it out!
