Xantia Instrument Panel

[eddy]

hi sorry to trouble you guys but i have a small problem

 

i have a xantia 1.9 turbo diesel 1997 R plate and a fair few of the dash lights have gone out the fuel one and one from both the speedo and rev counter

 

now my question is which is the best way to get to the back of the instrument panel and how hard is it to get to ??

 

i have only just come into the citroen club so be gentle any help is greatly appreciated

Deep breath. Remove the steering wheel by removing the airbag via two torx bolts at the back of the wheel, then disconnect the electrical connection to the bag. (many will give horror warnings about the airbag going off unless the battery is disconnected but I've not personally had problems.....yet :angry: )

 

Remove the steering wheel followed by the steering cowling, then the small cover to the right of the steering column, (screws are underneath by the fuse hatch) and the cover to the left, which reveals the screws to the baseplate of the instrument housing followed by the screws at the top of the instrument housing.

 

Then simply pull the instrument housing from the top and it will lift out, without speedo cable as it is an electrical speedo.

 

Needless to say after this palava most people replace every bulb because you can imagine what happens if you don't :angry:
