How to Remove the Heating Radiator on an Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Heater core

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. Disconnect the radiator from the pipes inside the cabin. Reverse the steps for reassembly.
