be carefull, if you fuck up your combi board you gonna spend 600? to replace it
i got a quote for it since mine stopped working some time ago and a few days later it worked again o_O (i already got it ordered so i called the dealer to cancel the order and he wasnt happy about that)
anyway, 600? here in belgium for the combi panel. and you cannot replace it with a second hand one because it contains everything about the car's history! driven miles /km etc so it MUST be a new board if its fucked.
