Trying to fix the LCD screen in my A4 B5. Have the part, know how to solder, but just can't for the life of me figure out how to open up the instrument cluster without thinking I'll break it. Help please?

 

The link in the Audi World DIY is broken for dismantling the cluster so here is another link to a working copy. It tels you all you need to know on how to take it apart. The only thing that is a little confusing is the side tabs. You have to cut your shims a little thinner in order to release the tabs. Good luck.

its easier then that makes it seem.
two screw in bottom corners. just lift a tab with your finger and pull the case out enough so it doesn't re-catch and go around the cluster.

 

i must have removed and taking my cluster apart 7 times yesterday to readjust the mph, had someone tape over some cel lights!! &@*#ers!!

 

Thanks for the info! Got it. Didn't know the two screws in the middle of the cluster were it.

 

could be differant with the 2000 model but my 98 has it on the sides.
