To replace the cabin heater radiator in the Volkswagen Polo, you need to completely dismantle the dashboard to access the components inside: first, remove the glove compartment, then dismantle the steering wheel and the instrument cluster, and subsequently detach all the plastic trims that form it. At this point, you will locate the radiator connected to the appropriate pipes: by disconnecting it and removing the connectors, you can insert the new replacement part and reassemble all the removed components.
