GUIDE FOR CITROËN, FIAT, LANCIA, PEUGEOT AND TOYOTA MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY REPLACEMENT

Is the Citroën C3 multifunction unit display difficult to read? Is the Peugeot Partner multifunction module display not working? Is the Citroën Berlingo multifunction unit display malfunctioning? Does the Peugeot 407 multifunction module display have faulty pixels? Is the Citroën C8 multifunction dashboard display fading?

The following guide will explain how to repair the Johnson Controls and Borg multifunction unit of several Citroen, Fiat, Lancia and Peugeot models, replacing the fading or defective display with Minitools part SEPDISP29P.

N.B. The SEPDISP29P is a positive version display, it is important to check the exact model, comparing the other displays available on our store: : SEPDISP29N (negative version); SEPDISP28N (negative version) and SEPDISP28P (positive version). Click here for the comparison sheet
