Centre dash vent removal ( round vent) a4 b6 cabby?

Anybody know how to remove the center vent of the 3 in the middle of the dash, it will not budge at min and im trying to remove it so i can fit a boost gauge actually into the vent as the vent is pointless anyway??

Reallt appreciate some help here , i cant find any info anywhere on how they come out and it should be a good mod once done!

Thanks

Surely someone must know?

Hi Darran,

I wish I had a definitive answer on how to do this but I though thr below would be helpful upon looking myself.

The below is from this website on how to do it on an A3 with round vents. Hopefully its the same principle ?

I do think however its a b*astard of a thing to do as it will no doubt require a prying tool and a lot of swearing not knowing where to turn/pull.

Maybe seeing the back of the vent when de-tached will help you figure it out. (below)

Basically reverse engineering the b*stard.
