In this guide, we will cover the main steps to remove and replace the heater radiator in a Volkswagen Golf. First, get into the vehicle on the driver's side and start by removing the plastic cover found at the bottom right, next to the pedals. Then disconnect the coolant pipe, allowing it to drain into a container.

Next, unscrew the screws of the matrix, then extract the cooling radiator from inside. Replace it with the new radiator, reconnect it, and top up with new coolant.
