Search the US audi boards for details, but pull the steering wheel all the way towards you & all the way down. Remove the screw from the left hand end of the top trim above the cluster (it's underneath), pull the end slightly towards you & then out to the left. YOu can now undo the screws that hold the cluster in place & tip it forwards, enabling you to change all the bulbs without disconnecting anything. Takes about 5 minutes. Or you can follow the official & Haynes instructions to remove the steering wheel but that way lies madness.

Take ages with one of those, you want the bargain of the decade

Thanks, that's helpful. Unlike the others(!)

Perhaps, because you forgot the magic word in your first post?

Oh, the word "please"? I do apologise, my dear chaps...

Be sure to let the group know how successful you are with this method. Failing dashboard illumination seems to be endemic in Audis of a certain age. Especially the bulb that illuminates speeds up to 45 mph!

Haynes is madness. I did a water pump the other day - it was a nice and simple job. The haynes method would have had me removing the alternator...
