    Removing MK4 R32 dash

    Howdy all,

    Well, my heater core is busted, and as a result of the seasons changing to colder temperatures, i've opted against bi-passing it and am going for the warm-n-toasty "replacement" option.

    Now, there's an obsticle in my way..installation; it's murky waters for me as it requires the dash out, something i've never gone near. Which is why i'm coming here, for a couple tips (do's and do not's). I'm hoping someone has done this before, and can just give me a couple pointers on how to go about it? I dont want to go pulling or tugging on the wrong thing.

    I'm sure it's a fairly straight foward excercise, but if anyone could provide a little insight, it'd be very much appreciated!

    -Drew.

    Have you checked the vwvortex MKIV FAQ thread?

    VWVortex.com - *** The MKIV How-To, FAQ, and Do-It-Yourself Guide - Please consult before posting***

    Nothing specific to R32 there but it should be pretty much the same as any MKIV right?

    Good luck!

    I have replaced the dash in my bmw e30 and that wasnt fun at all. An r32 dash would be 10 times more complicated to do. I wouldnt touch it unless i had some clear instructions

    agree. instructions will save you time and save you from snapping/cracking things that you didn't know were still screwed in when you thought they were just held by clips. there are various other reasons you should have instructions too
