v40 1.9 tdi 2003 dashboard removal/replacement.......this is not a guide......its just the way i did it......please let me know of any mistakes,and i will try and edit them.apologies for not been very good at explaining how to.....thanks to ANTZ for supplying me with the dash and steering wheel...........the thing is i am unsure of,is whether i have showed all of the dash bolts to be removed or not.....i have not shown which clips to remove to get the dash out....but it was not too many....do not be put off too much by the picture shown with the dash out,as quite a bit is still in place.just do the reversal of what you removed....tips..... while you have the dash out check that the matrix is in good working order....remove the metal plate with the vin number on it from the edge of the dash(2 screws) and put on replacement dash......clean edge of replacement dash.....ideally 2 people needed to put dash in......be careful when removing the plastic clips to loosen the wiring,as there is some sharp metal under there.......WARNING......put the receiver in the dash first(it sits above the dash clocks)before putting the dash in.and dont forget to connect it up first thing once the dash has been partly bolted in place..... and make sure the padding on top of the air vents are well stuck down too.....good luck......for picture 20 please open pdf file thanks
