The heater radiator on a Volkswagen Polo is located inside the dashboard, so you will need to completely dismantle it to access it. To remove the radiator, first, take off the steering wheel by unscrewing the screws that secure the central airbag, then remove the central nut that secures it to the column.

Next, proceed by removing the central panel and the glove compartment from the passenger side; at this point, the cabin heater radiator will be visible and can be removed by unscrewing the screws and disconnecting the pipes.
