I  thought that there was no exact info because it was a simple operation. 
Not  
for me... Took the thin plastic trim off below the IC, then the top 1/2 of  
column shroud. Took of screws on lower IC assy, then tried to pull IC assy  


Anyone shed light on this? Note this is a RHD 1990 w/out airbags  but 
principle 
should be the same for LHD. I  hope. 


Your description of what you've done so far makes me think Audi used the  
100/200 style dashpad/cluster mounting on your RHD car. If that's true you  
"should" be able to wiggle it out. 
 
 The 100/200 models have a thin trim section that matches the pad  under the 
cluster and is attached with 3 phillips screws. The cluster is  attached to 
the dash brace with 2 small allan screws. These cars can be a real  bear to 
wiggle the cluster out of.
