How do you replace the heating radiator of the Volkswagen Tiguan?

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Heater core

It will be possible to replace the heating radiator of the Volkswagen Tiguan by loosening the screws that fix the panel located on the side of the footwell compartment. Once this panel has been removed, it will be possible to locate the heating radiator. This can now be freed from the appropriate fixing screws and the related pipes for the passage of the liquid: in this way it will be possible to extract the heating radiator from its seat so that the new one can be inserted. This will allow you to verify that everything is functioning properly.
