Dashboard removal for Audi A6

Nov 20, 2005 7 Replies

Hi,



Can anyone tell me how to remove the top part of the dashboard (i.e. the bit thats goes to the front window) on a '99 Audi A6? A really loud and annoying rattle has just developed there and I've got to fix it before I can bear to drive the car!



(As I am in the UK I don't have easy access to a service manual.)



TIA, Mark



Keep jamming stuff down until the rattle disappears.

all i have to say is its not going to be easy to get off.

The message from Mark contains these words:

Haynes manuals come from the UK!

I know. However they don't do one for the A6.

Sort of. They do one for the older model and I hadn't spotted the year of yours.

Yep, have had a few cars with "one piece" type dash covers.

on my old Skoda Favorit, it was 35 screws, including taking off the glovebox lid, removing the glove box, taking out a brace, removing the small binacles holding some switch gear, then taking off the protectcover over the dials, then removing the dial cluster, then pulling the steering wheel and surround, after that the lower console needed to come off.

I didn't get any further than that as I found what I was looking for, but the actual dash cover was still rock solid, and I had already pulled

32 of the 35 screws, and they are all different sizes and lengths.

Could be fun in a more "Solid" car like an A6.
