To replace the cabin heating radiator in the Volkswagen New Beetle, you must completely dismantle the dashboard to access the components underneath. First, detach all the plastics from the upper and lower parts of the dashboard to loosen the screws securing the glove compartment, central panel, and steering wheel.

Once these are removed, you can access the radiator located in the central area: by unscrewing the mounting bolts and disconnecting the pipes and connectors, you can remove it from its housing and replace it with a new one.
