Hi Everyone,

Not long had my 05 reg 1.4D, but very happy with it so far. :D

One of the bulbs is burnt out behind the heater controls. :( Can't see any screws to remove this bit of trim. Anyone know how to get at these bulbs please ? :?

Thank you.


:)

Welcome to C2Club,

Have you managed to take the heater control unit out of the centre console yet?

Hi Guys ,

I haven't had chance to have a go at it yet - maybe the weekend. Just a little reluctant to have a go though. The last time I tried to change a dash bulb was on my Fiat Coupe a couple of years ago and i made a real pig's ear of it! :(

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

You need to remove the Storage Tray & Your HU from the dash to gove you access to the top of the Heater Control Unit.

I think there are 2 Screws at the top. (I keep thinking there is 2 at the bottom, or one somewhere else, but can't remember)

Assuming you dont have the Digital Controls, you should have 3 cables behind the controls, one behind each dial. You will also have an electronic plug connector IIRC.

Take damn good note of how the cables attach to the dials, if you cant put them back properly, which is difficult enough, your dials wont turn properly. Mine didn't turn fully till the day I sold it!

I think once the screws are undone, It needed an allmighty thump to fall out, so dont be scared to kill it :lol:

PS - If someone gives this a shot, would be great if they could take some pics!

Hello everyone!

Half of the lights behind my heating controls are out, so i took it to my local Citroen Dealer/Service Center and they would charge 60 Euros to change the bulb. (Geez!)

Is there really no easier/cheaper way to do this, for a novice like me? :P
(Has someone documented this with pictures?)

Greetings from cold Finland, where my C2 is still alive even if its -30C outside atm! :D

its cliped in ether side, i put a very small screw driver down to realease the clips, (with a towel covering the plasic to it doesnt damadge it)

then a gentle pull will release it.

also see the "Guide request" post for a quick guide of removing/replacing the heater dials
