It's basically the one thing most C4 owners have in common...

p.s. And dreading a heater core failure...

Only thing i would add to this topic is be very careful taking it apart, the plastic is brittle and can break and crack if you try and force anything.

I've taken it out several times, just be gentle and dont force things. The video covers it. Lots of little screws. Lower the steering wheel and remove the smaller stalk, just screws in. Basically have to take the center bezel out to do anything in the interior.

Removing the top dash pad is not something I'd recommend, they never go back in quite the same.

Thanks for the Advice. I've watched the video above but that's just on the instrument cluster. that part was easy enough. Its the rest that seems to be fighting me.

What else do you need to remove? What are you trying to get to behind the center dash? Dash speakers? what

Heater core and there are some burnt wires in the main harness that i have to repair.

the bottom part of the dash I cant figure out how to get off, I think if that was out the way It would simple, especially getting the bread box out.


thanks
