Good Job, I would advise anybody to also change the A/C evaporator if you have it, and fix or refurbish the Blend doors, it will save you opening it all again!
And by the way, before you are disassembling the whole. For example, you take the sailer that makes a bundle and it does not let you remove the Cabine Heather. And so on until you have enough space to take out the unit. After doing the repairs you do the opposite process. Without loosing cables, contacts and more cables, harness etc, etc. You actually made that work a whole circus and a drama at the same time.
I do not have a video, but when the opportunity to fix my unit, I will make a video with all the taste of the world. And I'll show you how to take out the unit without disarming the board of my car. But as I told you before, I did a modification where I will be first the air conditioning section and then the heater part. Here it is enough to take out the part of the passenger compartment (Like five bolts), then the blower motor, then the air conditioning unit and then the heating unit in that order. You must develop creativity, I'm just the owner of my vehicle, I do not have a mechanic's workshop. I had to learn it because here the labor is very expensive and the mechanics very few creative.
I do not know if you know the Nissan Sentra B14, in these vehicles it is not necessary to remove the board to make arrangements of the air conditioning and heating units. They come from the factory to do a fast and cheap maintenance. Well imagine that I made my air conditioning and heating unit in the same way and nowadays that activity takes about 2 hours to undo, fix and reassemble. I looked at that system and replied to it in my car. That it was not easy, very true; but now it's "like blowing bottles."
What a job you ve done bro, amazing, i wish i could do it to solve a squeaking sound behind the dashboard, i think i am going to leave it as it is, it is so tricky Thanks and ur english is good btw
@@mechanicigor edit: i tried it myself and it looks out you can take out the plastic around dashboard without having to take off the steering wheel (only panel on the left side that has the fuses in it)
@@mechanicigor I had my open last summer to put new foam insulation that was going out in pieces for years and i could not feel warm in the winter.......the mechanic said to put new evaporator....he didnt say anything about AC avaporator (octavia 1.8T) ....i told him that there is a fault code 4fa but he just did not care at alll....i went to my old mechanic we flused and cleaned all the circuit but inside the car i can reach only 39 celsius when outside is 0....for sure it does not work as it was new....i remeber i had my hand on the vents an its was burning.....she is almost 23 years old now...
Hi, to remove just the AC module(white one with the switches) do i have to remove the entire central console? I have the AC button and the recirculating button that do not work. Thank you!
No, not my friend. When I had to change Cabine Heather, I did not remove the board or odometers or cable, nothing of the sort. I simply released the entire center console to the radio and air conditioning controls and of course the compartment and carefully removed the Cabine Heather. And do not give me a story because I did it ONLY. I do not understand why you have to disarm half a car to do that.
I can only tell you that I just removed the center console, part of the front to where the air conditioning controls are and the "glove box" as we say it here or the passenger compartment, then pull out the blower motor and there screws there and screws over there I could take out the air conditioning unit and of course the radiators (heating and air conditioning). When I have the chance, I record the dismantling and send the video to the email that you indicate, no problem. But for now everything is fine.
Ok it is true, you must remove the complete unit, there is no problem with it. What I criticize you is that in order to take out the whole unit, you disarmed half the car inside, when you should only have disarmed the central console and the A / C blower motror. It's just what I criticize you, nothing more. The more you want to know more, the A / C unit and heater I split it in half and reassembled it inside. In the future, if I am damaged by the A / C radiator, I just have to loosen the passenger compartment and the A / C blower motor and the screws and at the end I just take out the half unit where the A / C is and change it in 2 hours. I closed the two halves with a ribbon. and the cut I made it where it does not allow dripping neither of the heating unit nor of the A / C unit. Astucia nothing more.
Just changed the heater with my mechanic, no more evaporating antifreeze, great...but now, horror, no hot air from it, even if set to HI an ECON! Climatronic self-test, reset, no results. Probably flaps… Don't tell mi that we have to disassemble it up again ?!!!!
Thanks for the video mate. I tried to do similar procedure early in the summer but I could not remove the plastic part with the motor blower + heather radiator. Here is where I go stuck ua-cam.com/video/eq0F7GPJbyU/v-deo.html I had different problem which I will have to address soon. Keep up with the good videos!
You are welcome good Sir! I hope you achieve your goal. Keep working and produce good videos. I watched a few of your other videos and I am surprised that you have only 834 subscribers. Your channel is full if interesting and most importantly unique instructions. You need one video to go "viral" and you shall skyrocket in subscribers. Keep it up and you shall succeed!
all that cuz of a small crack and no way to fix it unless you remove all that junk...Great video!!!
Good Job, I would advise anybody to also change the A/C evaporator if you have it, and fix or refurbish the Blend doors, it will save you opening it all again!
Thanks this was a great guide, I have a vrs almost same procedure. And Alfredo Isaac Salas Flores is a genius...
Thank you for making this. That's such an annoying design choice however. The Skoda Fabia just has it behind the glovebox.
that's great!!! Look the mess they did for octavia...
Excellent job, I watched your video and did the same steps to my car to replace the heater, thank you
Thanks a lot. You helped me to replace the heater core! You are awesome!
Thanks a lot for this video!! Helped me very much with my AC evaporator replacement!! 5/5

Thanks and ur english is good btw
Just one question. Does the refrigerator gas is lost due to this procedure?
Yes because you have to disconnect evaporator
can you remove the panel around the dashboard without taking the whole steering wheel off?
No
@@mechanicigor edit: i tried it myself and it looks out you can take out the plastic around dashboard without having to take off the steering wheel
(only panel on the left side that has the fuses in it)
How long was the whole job? Did it take more than 5 hours to take off the dashboard and put it back? Thank you!
Yes it takes around 8 hours

Hi you just have to remove central console of the radio to remove that module
mechanic for cars Ok, thank you very much.
Thx for video bro helped me a lot

I will pay your trip and working hand if you remove heater core on golf mk3 and mk4 in my shop if you remove it without removing central cross beam
I can only tell you that I just removed the center console, part of the front to where the air conditioning controls are and the "glove box" as we say it here or the passenger compartment, then pull out the blower motor and there screws there and screws over there I could take out the air conditioning unit and of course the radiators (heating and air conditioning). When I have the chance, I record the dismantling and send the video to the email that you indicate, no problem. But for now everything is fine.
But never never ever remove all the dashboard, speedometer, odometro, lever, cables, sensors, etc, etc, etc, etc
Problem is removing heater core up because blocks the chassis and metal cross beam blocks removal of whole unit

shit!!!Maybe it needs an ecu reset?
Super
Thankyou
How check leak.. pls faast replay..
Eveeything opened
You can connect coolant hoses and pressures the system with 1 bar of pressure then you can see where is leaking
You skip main problem, vent flaps inside...
I will try to edit somehow
