How To Remove Speedo/Clocks + Pics

[c2vts16v]

hi just thought i would make this how to guide as reason im doing it for is i have put a 4-1 manifold on my car and as it has no cat when ever you do this the engine management light comes on and i just find it annoying so i have removed clocks and toke it apart and used black electrician tape over the warning light

don't worry as when you do this any other warnings on mk2's show on the centre display also its just so it does not annoy you when driving :D :D :D :D :D

please take car when doing this

to start with disconnect battery please good idea :D :D

go to car and the sorrounding on the clock just pulls out so i used a small screw driver to ease it off then pull gently

if you would like to get into clocks to do what i have done you now have to get clocks and theres 4 push clips see pic below 2 on top and 2 on bottom

clips on top

clips on bottom

and then just plastic cover pulls slowly off

to put back together do the reverse and you can't go wrong HOPEFULLY lol :D :D :D :D

if you like to change lights inside these are not buls there leds soldered onto the circuit board meaning not that easy to just unclip and change over unfortunatley but any decent electrically shop will sort you out.. ;)

I dont think so as the whole of the top dash is different and im sure the molding around the speedo is as i recently bought the a mk1 speedo surround to stickerbomb and it did not fit in my mk2 as the dash surround is different so i doubt itll work mate
