In this brief guide, you will learn how to remove and replace the heater radiator in a Fiat Panda. First, get inside the vehicle and start by removing the plastic panels located under the gear lever by unfastening them at the sides and unscrewing the screws underneath; then remove the plastic panel found at the bottom right on the driver's side, giving you access to the heater radiator, as shown in the video.

Now disconnect the radiator pipe, allowing any excess fluid to drain, and unscrew the radiator bracket screws to remove it and replace it with the new one (disconnecting the pipes from the engine bay).
