To remove the heating radiator on an Opel Astra, first remove the plastic covers from the central tunnel (located under the central tunnel). Unscrew the securing screws with a screwdriver; remove the black plastic cover that conceals the heating radiator (take out the glove compartment). Once all the steps are completed, proceed to the engine bay: remove the plastic engine cover and disconnect the two hoses (unscrew the securing clips if present) of the radiator that leads into the cabin.
