How to Remove the Heating Radiator

Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira A, MK 1, T98 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Heater core

The heating radiator is a component located at the front of the vehicle. The engine generates heat from the internal combustion that occurs constantly within the engine itself; this heat is transferred to the coolant and then circulated through the thermostat and finally to the radiator. Inside the radiator, there are many small tubes with attached cooling fins that allow the coolant to be cooled and then returned to the engine in a continuous cycle. The following guide shows how to replace the heating radiator. The radiator is held in place by radiator brackets and is usually near the tank at the top of the radiator. Remove the lower drain pipe connections from the radiator and disconnect the lower flexible pipe connections, then remove the mounting bolts from the brackets, allowing you to remove the radiator.
