How do you replace the heating radiator of the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 MK 3, 8V - Years 2012-2019
Part: Heater core

The replacement of the cabin heating radiator of the Audi A3 is done by opening the glove compartment, unscrewing its internal fixing screws completely. In this way, the panel, the carpet underneath it, and the side panel of the footwell on the passenger side will have to be removed: behind this panel, you will find the cabin heating radiator, which will need to be disconnected from pipes and connectors so that it can be removed from its housing. In this way, it will be possible to install a new replacement part, by mounting all the previously removed components.
