Heater radiator
1. Set the maximum temperature of the climate system, turn off the ignition and all electrical appliances.
2. Clamp the coolant hoses (1 per resist. illustrations) heater radiator, mark them, pull out the clamps and disconnect the hoses from the radiator, collecting the flowing coolant. If the radiator is to be replaced, the coolant must also be replaced, so in this case it can be drained (see section 2).
13.2 Coolant hoses on the heater core
3. Connect the compressor to the upper fitting of the heater radiator (1 per resist. illustrations) and blow out the radiator (3) coolant residues in a pre-prepared container (2).
13.3 Removing remaining coolant from the radiator
4. Loosen the bolt (1 per resist. illustrations) on the flange of the heater radiator between the fittings. This loosens the coolant pipe, making it easier to remove the radiator.
13.4 Bolt on connecting flange
5. Remove the left side cover of the center console (see chapter 11), air duct to left footwell (see Section 10) and knee airbag (if available, see chapter 12).
6. Remove the screws (1 per resist. illustrations) and remove the radiator cover.
13.6 Removing the cover
7. Cover the floor covering under the heater core with waterproof material and absorbent paper. Open the clamps (1 per resist. illustrations), pull the pipes out of the radiator and remove it from the climate system housing.
13.7 Connecting the coolant pipes to the radiator
8. Moisten new O-rings (2 to resist. illustrations) coolant and insert them into the connections (3) radiator, then press the coolant pipes into them (1).
13.8 Seals on the radiator
9. Fasten the tubes with clamps, as shown in illustration 13.7, with a force of 1.5 Nm.
10. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order. Finally, check and, if necessary, correct the coolant level.
Auxiliary heating element "Z35"
11. Remove the left side cover of the center console (see chapter 11) and air duct to the left footwell (see Section 10).
12. If the lever is located opposite the left temperature shutter so that access to the upper bolt (And on the opposite illustrations) closed with a lever (WITH), change the temperature setting on the climate control panel. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, remove the bolts (A) and remove the cover (IN).
13.12 Access to heating element Z35
13. Give the nut (And on the opposite illustrations) ground connections, disconnect the connector (IN) with stripe (2) and pull out the heating element "Z35" (WITH) from the climate control system.
13.13 Removing heating element Z35
14. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Tighten the nut to 9 Nm.
