Hello all

I've been giving my new S a bit of a clean and polish today and it looks stunning. However now it's all clean and shiny I've noticed that the rear left light cluster is full of crud. It looks like a spider managed to get into it and spin a few webs before expiring.





Now I've noticed it I'm going to notice it all the time. Has anybody got any experience of taking the cluster apart to clean it out? I have a bad feeling it's a sealed unit and I'm not going to be able to open it up. :-( I hope not because it's £220 for a new one!

Any tips gratefully received!

If you remove the rear cluster, and take the plastic bit off over the LED circuit board, you can get a pipe in there. You might be able to blow it around with an airline.

Failing that you will have to cook your cluster in the oven, or use a heat gun to seperate the mastic stuff that bonds it together.
