The cabin heating radiator of an Audi A3 model 8P, produced from 2003 to 2013, is located inside the cabin specifically inside the side dashboard. To replace the radiator, we must therefore remove part of the vehicle's dashboard in order to access the internal parts.

After removing the plastics, it is necessary to disconnect the radiator connector. And after unscrewing the two screws, remove the entire block.

After removing the radiator, it is possible to open the small valve and empty the liquid inside into a container before disposal.
