Greetings all, new to this forum :)

On my Citroen C3 2010 mod, I have a problem with the multifunction display. When it get's warm here in the summer, thats when the issue occours.
You can hardly see the text/info on the display. But once the weather starts getting colder, it doesn't fade as much.

So on ebay I see you can buy a new one for around 88$, but I have no idea how to replace it.

So my question is how do I remove the plastic panel around safely so I can replace the display?

I've been searching and googling this for a long time and yet to find a guide on this.


Hope someone out there have a some idea :)

Hi Bytmare
don't know which country you are in but can you not get hold of a Haynes manual for your car? They are not as good as they used to be but they are not too bad. I have had to use them to remove bits of dashboards etc in many cars and they do normally tell you where all the fatenings are and how to get them off. You spending US dollars? Haynes manuals are translated in English with a glossary for the differences between US terminology and British terminology. I've just found out they are in fifteen languages. With all the british variants. They do not cost much and are well worth the money.

My car is a 04 Pluriel, so a bit different, but when I am not so busy I'll look at the relevant part of my Haynes manual to see if it might help.
OK
Good luck
