How to Replace the Heater Radiator on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Heater core

To replace the heater radiator on the Ford Focus, open the glove compartment on the passenger side to access the internal screws: by loosening these screws, you can completely detach the glove compartment, then loosen all the side panels to the left of the footwell. This will allow access to the heater radiator, which must be freed from its housing by unscrewing the fixing screws and disconnecting the pipes; at this point, you can remove the old radiator and replace it with a new one.
