How to Replace the Heater Radiator on a Volkswagen Golf 4?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Heater core

To replace the cabin heater radiator on a Volkswagen Golf 4, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. Here, detach the cover from the top of the engine block and unscrew the screws securing the air filter box. Once all these parts are removed, move the cables at the back of the engine bay and, using a flexible tool, remove the panel that separates the cabin from the engine bay. Behind this panel, you will find the cabin heater radiator, which can be extracted and replaced with a new one once disconnected and freed from the pipes.
