how to remove the speedo c5

[colin machin]

hi c5 2002 hdi how difficult is it to remove the speedo from the dash board

Simple, two butter knives slide under the bottom (feel around for the plastic tongues at about 6cm in from each side) and pull the bottom towards you, just one plug to disconnect and it's out. You need the steering wheel adjusted to the lowest and farthest out position for room.

No. Stick a couple of flat blade underneath the pod in the gap between the dash pod and the dash, and lever gently. The entire unit will pop out. I used a couple of table knives.

There are 2 dot's on the base of the panel that show you where to put the plastic levers in.

Common problem Colin, mine underread by 8mph, simple fix. If you take it to a dealer they would whack in a new one and charge about £400
