change heating radiator
Hello, the heating radiator in my polo does not work. I have to change it but the mechanic it want to charge me a ton of money that I don't have to do the job. I was wondering if someone can point me toward a guide to change it myself. do I have to disassemble all the dashboard or can I reach it in some other way? like from beneath? thanks in advance for anyone that could give me some advice.

Re: change heating radiator
You mean the heat exchanger behind the dash? Yes, its likely a dash out job as its not overly easy. The whole fan assembly has to be removed so the heat exchanger can be swapped out. Its a good few hours work and unless you are confident in your mechanical skills, best left to a decent local garage
