Smartd00d Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hi all, Does anyone know how to remove the decorative and cluster surround trim on the MK8? The reason is to get to the APIM module behind the screen. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanWebster Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 There is a separate trim panel behind the screen which you can remove with a suitable tool. Once that is out you can then detach the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only I worry about this part of the car failing just outside of warranty as mine's been a bit on the flakey side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the APIM is a 1-2 hour job, it's not that difficult and APIMs are readily available. If it fails, I'm quite sure it can be fixed with Forscan, if not you can buy APIMs for under £200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unscrew the three hex bolts, and then take the screen off. You pull the edges off around the black carbon around the dash, I forgot the specific way to pull it off but there's 4 golden 'latches' which you have to make sure don't fall off, or if they do you put them back on. Then, the dash has some more screws, and 2 latches if I remember correctly you push in and then pull the cluster out. I didn't unplug the dash because certain cars require reprogramming if you take it out. Maybe someone who's done the job more recently can correct any mistakes I've made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
