Before removing the cluster don't forget to remove the negative pole of your car's battery.

It`s easy i done them on mine, as vwclub.gr says disconnect the negative terminal on the battery first, then you`ll need a torx screwdriver think it`s a size 20, the screws are located between the steering wheel and the cluster "obviously" lol, once you have them off carefully pull the cluster out and on the back you`ll need to disconnect the terminal on there, then you`ll need to pull the clips off to separate the cluster from the actual speedometer, after that carefully put the glue on the chrome rings not too much or it will overspill i done it :oops: then fit the rings in then just leave for 30-60 mins to dry then connect all back up, take these instructions at your own risk tho lol,but they worked fine for me, it`s a worthwhile little mod imo
