How to repair the heating of the Volkswagen Tiguan MK1

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

In this video we see a Volkswagen Tiguan that has a heating problem that works properly on the driver's side, while on the passenger side it does not work at all, even after a period of time exceeding thirty minutes from the start of the vehicle. The fan works fine, the electrical part is working, so the problem lies in the heating radiator, which is located in the driver's footwell, behind a partition on the right side. To remove it, however, we will have to dismantle the fuse box, the lower part of the steering wheel, and finally we can remove the bolt that secures the partition of the footwell cover. Behind it there is a plastic cap held by three screws, and behind that we will find our radiator. In front of it we have the piping that needs to be removed and drained, after which we can remove the radiator and replace it with a new one, which we can find on autoricambi24.it with the code 467H0054 at the price of 35.49 euros. This will solve the problem of the lack of heating in part of the cabin.
