ok,2000 a4,turbo 4 cylinder,auto.
i am replacing the dash and airbags,and cant get the last of the fasteners for the center console.2 10mm's above the radio, 2 screws (one by each seat either side of shifter)one under the dash on each side.
what i am missing is: the order of dis assembly
does the radio come out first?i have the console by the parking brake lever re moved,and cant get the center console(front half against the dash) out.it has to come out as it covers other fasteners holding the dash pad on.
thanks for the help

I have the same center console as the last picture - but I'm having difficulties removing the climate controls. It appears they're installed with 1-way clips. I think the climate controls need to be removed first in order to get to the last two 8mm bolts (behind the CCs) holding the center console to the dash...is this correct? Can you post more detail about figure "A70-0027" please?

Thanks!
Matt

 

Nevermind..I just needed to use a bigger hammer. Actually, I pried it out by sliding a screwdriver between the metal bracket and the back of the plastic housing of the climate controls.
