Xantia scuttle panel removal

IIRC there's some screws there, too. Not particularly difficult, though.

Thanks Adrian. However, I've worked out I can get the nozzle of the vac through there with a bit of pulling and stretching the scuttle so I think I can clean it all out without having to strip it!

If it's anything like a 406 (ought to be, really) a fair bit of it lifts away to get at the pollen filter. There's a split in the middle on a 406. Perhaps that would let you see a bit more?

Xantia pollen filters are under the glove box ;(

That's my next question answered then ;-)

So, how do I get at it?

Cheers

Only if it has air-con. If not there isn't a pollen filter. As for the scuttle panel removal, its held on by plastic push-fit 'screws'. Lever them off then use a bit of force to bend inwards and pull off the panel. I think theres also a bead of sealant (black nasty) joins the panel to the windscreen, run a stanley knife between the two to free. Getting it offs the easy part :-)

Thanks all. I found that by bending the scuttle panel back, I could get the thin nozzle from the vac down into the panel, and with a bit of pushing and shoving managed to vac all the crap out of there. As I've no aircon, doesn't look like I have to bother about a pollen filter then.

Hmm. My Astra and Mondeo both have/had no aircon and a pollen filter.. what's so special about the air in a Citroen?

My Saab would have a pollen filter if it DIDN'T have aircon, but because it does, it doesn't have a filter...
