Yeah they sent me another complete dash because the entire ducting skeleton part was missing from the first one so I now have 2 Touran dashboards and all the trims in my spare room :o

Hi Barbel,
I’m chasing a replacement dash at the moment... if your old Caddy one is still in good condition and you decide to get rid of it, let me know 🤙🏼

My caddy dash has a few scratches on it under the glovebox/passenger knee area from the previous owner. It's not terrible but it is partly the reason why I'm changing it, plus the Touran dash is better quality. You're more than welcome to have the caddy one for free, it'll only go in the skip. There's a possibility I might change it this weekend if it's not pouring with rain.

Very kind of you, thanks mate... the damage on mine isn’t too bad either, but just a bit annoying... looks like the BG engineer used to throw things up onto the dash above the Speedo, so there’s a few little scratches.
What part of the world are you in? I may take you up on your offer if the drive isn’t too bad

Nice one... that’s not too far for me... good luck with your dash change, drop me a message when it’s ready for collection and we can sort something out.
Thanks again 🤙🏼

Not been doing much to the van lately but took a few photos while fishing in Norfolk last week. Beautiful sunshine one day, grim and grey the next Image

This looks awesome! And still practical enough to actually get out and about in! Excellent work.

Done my Touran dash swap today. Wasn’t too bad a job actually, took me about 5-6 hours but I was massively slowed down by the pouring rain all day long.

Start by removing airbag by pushing the clips from the back.
Image

12mm spline bit to remove the big bolt holding the steering wheel.
Image

Pry up the trim below the clocks
Image

Undo torx screw under the cowling
Image

Pry apart the top and bottom sections of the cowling
Image

2 screws to remove cowling
Image

1 tiny torx screw here
Image

Unclip 5 plugs around the stalks
Image

Remove tiny screw and pull stalks off.
Image

Remove 2 screws under clocks, unclip plug on the back then lift out.
Image

Image

2 more screws here
Image

Pull the panel off which holds the light switch and unplug the 2 plugs, and also unclip the OND port
Image

OBD
Image

Pull out ashtray and remove screw behind it.
Image

Remove screw under the gear lever gaiter.
Image

2 screws underneath coin tray
Image

2 screws under the steering column.
Image

Remove centre console/gear lever surround and you’ll see 2 more screws
Image

1 screw behind where the light switch was
Image

Pry off the trim surrounding the stereo, remove 4 torx screws from stereo then 4 from heater controls and pull both out.

Now in the passenger side. Remove 6 screws and take out glovebox. Then you’ll see a couple more screws to take out
Image

Image

Take the dash top storage tray out to reveal 2 screws
Image

Swap these 2 vents for Touran ones so they mate up with the Touran dash.
Image

Remove 2 x 10mm bolts and 2 x 13mm nuts on both side brackets and swap these brackets for Touran ones.
Image

Now you can just pull the dashboard towards you and it’ll come right out.
Image

Re-fit dash and do all the above steps in reverse to complete the job.

Yeah once you know where all the little screws are hidden it'd be a piece of cake to do it again. That's why I thought I'd do a bit of a "how to" as there's nothing on the forum really with photos. Hopefully it will help somebody out.

I still need to get the piece of trim that goes directly under the clocks. I was expecting to be able to use my caddy one but it's completely different. Also think I need a Touran ashtray and the bit it sits in which holds the cigarette lighter as something there isn't quite right.

Painting all my white trims grey tomorrow, plus covering the roof lining and parcel shelf, then fit all that back together.

Thanks. Been dreading it for a while but it really isn't as daunting as it looks. Everybody who's done it seems to say the same :)

It's only screws and plastic clips at the end of the day :D
