Today, you will learn where the cabin heater radiator is installed on a Volkswagen Golf 7, produced from 2012 to 2019. The radiator is located inside the cabin, specifically under the dashboard on the driver's side, just above the pedal area. To replace it in case of failure, you need to remove the side of the central dashboard and part of the lower dashboard to access the unit.

Then, disconnect the connector and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws and remove the unit. Any malfunction may not only be due to issues with the unit itself but could also be related to a blown fuse.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
