[OT] 1990 Jetta Dashboard Light

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Jason, you have to take off the dash bezel to get the cluster out.  The
bezel holds the radio, switches, HVAC controls, etc.  With that said, it
is not that big of a job.  It is more tedious keeping track of all the
small screws and where they go. I also take off the steering wheel
because it is in the way.  Be careful to remove all the screws holding
down the bezel.  They should all be accessible when you have all the
switches, HVAC trim piece, etc out.  The Bezel will just lift out
easily, if it is not, you missed a screw.  The other thing to watch out
for is the speedo connection.  The one on my 91 DD Jetta is not attached
via a thread connection.  There is a lever that has to be squeezed at
the back of the cable.  Putting it back on is also fun, I ended up
disconnecting the cable from the transaxle to get some slack.
That's all I can think of at the moment.  If you have any more questions
just ask.
Rick.

Ok, now I've torn a couple of Sciroccos apart before, but now all I want
to
do is replace an instrument cluster bulb behind the speedo.

 

I remember listers belly aching about it in the past, so I grabbed the
Bentley and thought, "let's do this"

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

 

It looks like I have to remove everything! I mean what else? Should I
drop
the exhaust and gas tank while I'm at it?!! LOL!

 

Anyone have a quick removal and install procedure or should I just
forget
it.

 

Jason
