Climate control removal

[Titch64]

Hello all. I have a 2009 Citroen C5 that needs new climate control due to unreadable didgets. I would like to ask if anyone knows how to remove the controls/module that could give me some guidance. Thank you in advance.

Hi and welcome - do you have the Dual Zone Climate control or Mono Zone? If not sure PM or Post up your VIN.

Thanks for your reply, I believe Its the duel zone, controls for both driver and passenger

Disconnect Battery Negative first (disconnecting some plugs with the battery connected can damage permanently damage certain Audio / screen components)

Remove the Audio Head Unit first (you'll need either the flat blade keys or the round pin keys
depending on unit fitted).

Dual Zone Unit Removal:
1) Unclip the dual zone air-conditioning front panel assembly (1) ( as "a" ) ; Using a flat plastic Trim removal tool.
Detach the dual zone air-conditioning front panel assembly (1).

2) Hold the dual zone air-conditioning front panel assembly (1).
Unplug - Release the connectors ( as "b", "c", "d", "e", "f" ).

3) Unclip and detach ( as "g", "h" ); Using flat trim tool.
Remove the dual zone air-conditioning front panel assembly (1).

4) Remove The bolts (2), then the dual zone air-conditioning control (3) from the fascia plate.

If you need the part number, PM your VIN.

Thanks again for your reply and with a good explanation. Many thanks.

And those clips that hold the front panel in place ('a' in picture 1) are amazingly tight.
At the risk of sounding like a girl - when I stripped mine I broke a nail.
