How to Replace the Heater Radiator in a Fiat Panda

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

If warm air is not coming from the ventilation outlets and the windows fog up easily, or if the carpet is wet, it is likely that the heater radiator has a leak. To replace it, you will need a lot of patience as the radiator is located behind the dashboard, which must be removed. Start by draining the coolant from the engine, then access the cabin and remove the steering wheel, the indicator stalk, the instrument cluster, the centre console, and the tunnel cover to reach the extraction of the dashboard itself.
