Removing heater control switches AU2 and AU3

5.8 · 25-10-2011, 03:09 PM

Hello all,

I just looked through the how to thread and couldn't find this info. Can someone tell me the process of removing the three heater control knobs on an AU 2 or 3. Is it just a matter of yanking the switches and they slide off or does all the surround etc have to come off first? Thanks.

where are these clips? i removed the screws myself and found that this part of the fascia was still too tight to removed. If i pry out with a flathead screwy will anything be likely to break

and when you put it back together make sure that you plug all your vacuum hose's in right or your vents wont work properly

From memory the vacuum hoses will only go back on the way they come off.

I cant remember the exact location of the clips to release the inner surround from the outer round bit but I do remember it is a bit fiddly.

the whole outer oval surround unclips the inner square one stays with the outer i used a flat scraper instead of a screwdriver it takes a bit of force but will unclip
