To replace the cabin heater radiator in the Volkswagen Golf, remove the glove compartment located on the passenger side and the side cover of the corresponding wheel arch. Once these parts are removed, you can access the components behind the central panel with the climate control controls: here you will find the heater radiator, which can be disconnected from the pipes and released from its securing bolts for removal.

The old radiator can then be replaced with a new spare part, and the components that were removed earlier can be reinstalled.
