Heater control
The heater control panel is located in the center of the instrument panel. To access the heater control unit, you need to remove the radio (see chapter "Additional equipment") or, if the receiver is not installed, a glove box or plug.
Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
Pull the handles and carefully press the heater control panel trim. Be careful, the trim is only secured with spring clips.
If equipped with a radio, remove the radio handles and trim. The factory-installed radio is secured with two latches that must be pushed out to remove the radio. The latches are accessible from below.
Remove the plug or glove box if the receiver is not installed.
Remove the two screws securing the heater control unit and pull it forward.
There are three cables attached to the heater control levers - to disconnect them, release the clamps on the rims and unhook the curved ends of the cables from the levers.
The cables are replaced as a single unit, together with the sheaths.
The heater valve cable can be easily disconnected from the heater valve in the engine compartment and pulled out through the bulkhead.
To disconnect the cable from the outer heater flap, you need to remove the heater air intake frame, which is secured to the rear shelf of the engine compartment with two screws or plastic buttons. If the frame was secured with buttons, secure it with self-tapping screws during installation.
To disconnect the cable from the air distribution flap inside the heater, the heater must be removed and partially disassembled.
Heater - replacement (figure E:7)
The heater is located in the car's interior under the dashboard. If a central console is installed, it must be removed before repairing the heater (see chapter "Body and body equipment").
Disconnect the lower radiator hose and drain the coolant as described above.
Remove the heater air intake frame located on the rear shelf of the engine compartment. If the frame is secured with plastic buttons, then during subsequent installation, secure the frame with self-tapping screws.
Disconnect the cable from the outer heater flap, then unhook the flap shaft from the heater housing and remove the flap. The fan motor can now be removed through the heater air intake.
Disconnect the cable from the heater valve in the engine compartment (the tap must be closed), then disconnect the hoses from the heater pipes on the rear bulkhead of the engine compartment.
Disconnect the heater control unit from the instrument panel.
Release the two clips under the dashboard (one on each side), which the heater is attached to the car body. To release the clamp, you need to press the tab in the middle.
The heater can then be removed from under the dashboard along with the cables and controls. On early models, the heater has air ducts attached to both sides that also need to be disconnected. Be careful when removing the ducts from the seal in the bulkhead opening.
