Replacing the Cabin Heater Hose on Ford Focus III

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Heater core

The cabin heater radiator is located just behind the centre tunnel and uses the heat from the engine's coolant to warm the cabin. It is essentially a mini radiator with two pipes, one for inlet and the other for outlet through which the coolant circulates. It may happen that one of the hoses can become damaged, and to replace it, first disconnect the hose clip at the end connected to the thermostat valve, then disconnect the one connected to the radiator. To release this end, rotate the locking mechanism to free the clip.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
