Follow these steps to remove the heater radiator on a Volkswagen Passat. Remove the plastic trim under the steering wheel and along the side of the centre tunnel (located under the centre tunnel on the left).

Unscrew the retaining screws with a screwdriver, and remove the black plastic cover over the heater radiator. After completing these steps, go to the engine bay; remove the engine cover and disconnect the two hoses (unscrew the retaining clips if present) that lead to the radiator entering the cabin (allow the fluid to drain).

Disconnect the radiator from the pipes in the cabin. Fit the new radiator.
