Today, many people buy domestic cars from the VAZ plant. This is due to the ease of maintenance and the relatively low cost of this vehicle. Unfortunately, Russian cars often fail and need urgent repairs. The speedometer often breaks down, which has to be removed and replaced with a new one.
Instructions
Step 1
To remove the speedometer on a VAZ 2106, study the dashboard diagram described in the book on repair and operation. After that, proceed with the procedure itself. To do this, park the vehicle on a level surface. Lock the vehicle with the parking brake and open the hood. It is necessary to remove the negative terminal from the storage battery in order to de-energize the on-board power supply system. Otherwise, you risk getting a short circuit. Open the front doors to their maximum and lock them in this position.
Step 2
Remove the covers located on the panel, cigarette lighter, glove compartment lid and other small items. After that, determine the location of the screws holding the torpedo. Remove all screws, noting where they are attached. The fact is that in many cars these mounts differ in length and diameter. Now grab the dashboard and pull gently. Move it first to the right, then to the left. This will release this element from the latches.
Step 3
Once the dashboard is removed, pull the dashboard towards you. It should move back a maximum of five centimeters. At the back you will find many wires from which you need to remove the terminals. Again, mark them to avoid confusion. Now you can completely remove the panel by turning it face down. You will see a variety of devices that are fastened with bolts. Unscrew them all, remove the speedometer from the corresponding connector. The front cover ring may be in the way. It also needs to be removed.
Step 4
Then take a blow dryer and heat the edges of the glass. As soon as the sealant begins to melt, detach the glass. It is better to do this with gloves so as not to damage important parts or hands. It remains only to remove the old sealant from the plastic case, remove the arrow with a plastic plug and, by unscrewing the remaining bolts, completely disassemble the case.
