Post by: josh_vr6 on 01 February 2012, 11:02
Could someone tell me how simple a dash swap is on a mk3? Thinking of getting mine flocked.

Cheers josh

Do you want to swap it and to what?

It's faily obvious once you start, you just pull all the trim off and the heater vents and undo the bolts. I think they are 10mm from memory.. once they are all removed you need to remove the scuttle panel (turn and pull the clips out) There should be another two bolts ( not sure on the size, 10mm again maybe?) undo them and the dash will just pull out now. You don't need to remove the steering wheel (I didn't) but it helps!

I would say about an hour-ish, once you get it out it's really easy to get back in. I had to put it back in, in the dark! :grin:

ok cheers, where can i find a picture of how it looks? as mine is really tidy inside at the moment and not sure if i want to do it, then not like it and have to change it back! also how do you clean the material as i would imagine it would collect alot of dust? cheers
