Removing the Cabin Heater Radiator

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 4, Be91, MK 4, MK IV - Years 1996-2002
Part: Heater core

One of the appreciated features of Ford is the ease of maintenance. This video demonstrates how simple it is to replace the heater radiator; after removing the thermostat and the heater valves, it is sufficient to take off the cover and access the area underneath, which houses the heater radiator. The car model featured in this video is a 1999 Ford Fiesta 1.3 (Endura-E OHV engine), but the procedure is very similar for the Ford KA. In other car models, however, accessing the work area may require removing a significant portion of the dashboard.
