Hi all,

I've recently purchased a 2010 Fiat Qubo - Funky Orange - 1.3 mutijet automatic.

Now I found out about some issues so is decided to join this forum.
First about the dashboard light. only halve of the heater panel seems to be lighted so there is probably defective bulb. Offcourse I'll try to open up the dashboard but I can't figure out where I have to start. Anybody tried this before?

Hi Jasper205,
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Qubist/Fiorinoist.........not had this on mine so sorry I'm no help. But keep checking back, as we have a number of members who are very technical, and who no doubt will be able to help.
Cheers Qube O.

Hi Jasper,

My new Fiorino had this same issue after about a year. The tech cure for it is to use a clenched fist or mid knuckles and rap on the dark area. It cured my dim region! Also the same tech-nique used to cure a display error showing a number plate light out at the rear.

Love that..........hahah.:p:p
 
From what I can remember from when I fitted my dab adaptor if you remove the head unit (the radio) then the cage that holds that in that will give you access to the screws to the next panel down or you maybe able to get your hand down to the bulb holders . Think there is 2 per side . Hope that helps

Yes you are correct in the removal of the heater panel,as i've been down that road, i thought would be quicker than to remove the hu ect.

Thanks for your help! I will give it a try this weekend.

There also seems to be a loose part in the rear door that;s rattling left and right in corners. The rear door has a huge plastic cover on the inside but a can't see how it must come loose. Anybody who knows the trick?

Is it just pulling harder or??
 
No it must be something else, its not a constant rattle. I can really hear something like a bolt or nut rattling from left to right in hard corners. So i have to remove this panel to take it out and see if something is broken?
 
Had to do that on mine aswell , shut that up then could hear the sliding door rattling soon sorted that with an oil can :)
 
Remove any visable screws then you need to slide something between the panel and the door and Pop the clips off don't be surprised if a few break along the way though

I don't see any visible screws..

Tot be sure we're talking about The same door, I mean the trunk door/ boot cover, I'm not sure about the english word...


Regards,
 
If there's no screws then it's just a Pop off one , only said any visable screws just in case there was any haven't had to take mine off yet .
