Skoda Octavia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Octavia 1U, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Passenger compartment heating radiator
Operation: How do I replace the heating radiator on the Å koda Octavia?

In order to replace the heating radiator of the Å koda Octavia you have to completely disassemble the dashboard: you have to start by removing the front airbag on the steering wheel and the steering wheel itself. In this way it will be possible to detach the plastic panels that surround the steering wheel, subsequently detaching also those that surround the radio and the glovebox. In the central area of the dashboard, there will be the heating radiator which will have to be released by disconnecting its pipes and loosening the bolts that secure it to its housing. After removal, it will be possible to replace it with a new spare part.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
