Cleaning the Alfa 156 centre gauge cover

When I installed the head unit replacement for the Alfa 156, I can’t push the head unit back into the normal position. I decided to find out the reason. I took out the audio unit to check the cables, then I did a stupid thing – dropping the light torch into the space behind the centre console panel.

To get it out, I have to take off the centre console panel again, Gosh. It is something I don’t want to do because the Alfa 156 plastic panel is so fragile.

Replacing light bulbs inside the Alfa 156 air conditioning control unit

It is common to finding additional issues after the ownership transfer of used cars, I’d say it is a matter of how many. On top of those known cosmetic issues on my 156, two newly found issues were particularly annoying. One of them is the broken light bulbs inside the air conditioning control unit.

Replacing light bulbs should be a simple task but replacing those on Alfa 156 air conditioning control unit turned out to be a more complicated task with risks of breaking more components. In short, the whole centre console panel had to come off to get access to the control unit, that means CD players, gear boot, ash tray and others had to be off.
