How to Replace the Cabin Heater Radiator on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Heater core

If the windows inside the cabin tend to fog up very quickly and it is difficult to clear them, and if the carpet on the floor is damp or even wet, it means the cabin heater radiator is damaged, located right in the centre of the dashboard, behind the centre console. This part costs around £30.00, but replacing it requires a lot of patience as you need to dismantle the entire dashboard. Start by draining the coolant from the engine radiator, then proceed to remove the instrument panel, the steering wheel, and finally extract the entire dashboard from the cabin: the radiator is located next to the accelerator pedal.
