[@あなたはすべて誰かの傭兵です]

Video is perfect. Today, we done half of this job😀 Turkish copy of new cooler is ready, if this happen again-i will stay till end of life without AC.....I think ill get use to it😀

[@Servicetutorials]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@levobryan6701]

what is mean turkish copy bro

[@minime406]

thx now i can live with the tiny leak ive got :-)

[@Servicetutorials]

Thank you too for watching!

[@joseaviila7880]

lmfaoo same here

[@realisticcritic]

Instructions unclear, removed entire engine prior to disconnecting heater hoses. Lol helpful, to the point video. Thanks.

[@simon1996kosir]

I hope there is room to untighten and remove bolts and hoses hahaha or i am burning that LEON to the metal sheet. :D

[@billdunham8414]

Yeah you're dead on with that1

[@macportner6501]

This tutorial was awesome, I think I'm just going to get a new car though

[@Servicetutorials]

😁

[@rubenponce2864]

Forgot to remove the gas tank and wheels ...lol but it was very helpful

[@Servicetutorials]

😁

[@jdubsvr6]

For anyone wondering. This is a climatronic HV/AC box, so you cannot split the heater core section like the manual cable control HV/AC box.

[@alexanderjunior1105]

Instablaster...

[@oakenDStreams]

Even being climatronic this tutorial did way to much extra steps than needed. That whole beams doesn't need to come out and neither does the whole heat/ac box.

[@GNR_Motors]

Managed to do this and boy oh boy what a pain it was

[@Servicetutorials]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@guidocaponetto1450]

Good Igor but you forgot to say that AC gas has to be dowloaded and after charged

[@darkdarknes5634]

Does't exists another simple solution without disassembling all the car if the radiator leaks?? Thank you!

[@Servicetutorials]

No, there isn’t. You have to remove all the parts from the video to remove the radiator.

[@johnnymichaelnoobmaster69]

Unde se afla vaporizatorul de la AC la Golf 4? E pe undeva prin clipul acesta? Se ajunge greu la el pentru a se schimba?

[@Servicetutorials]

Salut! Ar trebui sa fie cel din video. Vezi si varianta in limba romana: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kICrcnednJh7f7c

I might have to do this I am really not looking forward to it I would rather do a motor swap twice

[@cartrenddiy5282]

Very good

[@Servicetutorials]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@bernardaflores1720]

I notice that heater core location is forward close to the windshield, can it just be pop by removing the windshield and straight out???

[@Servicetutorials]

No, you can’t.

[@zoober2217]

Amazing video! Thank you a lot! I want to see more videos like this!

[@Servicetutorials]

[@djriyo7489]

10:49 Hey amazing video .I have questions how were you able to move that screw behind the Ac line ?

[@bolddenis4198]

One nut comes off one doesn't, the bottom one shuld stay there

[@Martius-xu8lp]

Is there a easier way to take out the right side clip holding the hoses

[@Martius-xu8lp]

Nevermind, i got it

Need to take out the whole dash and font end to get to it? Ohhhh hellll no....

[@Martius-xu8lp]

😂

[@GNR_Motors]

trust me but it had to be done

[@brunnerdg]

Is it possible to remove the heater core without disconnecting the ac?

[@Servicetutorials]

No, it’s not possible.

[@kenabi]

@@Servicetutorials yes it is. its a serious pain, but you have juuuust enough room to move the box back from the wall and get the core out, if done carefully. there's zero reason to mess with the ac assemblies or wiring at all. nor is there any reason to fully remove the climate box from the car itself. several of the steps in this video can be skipped entirely, as they are fully unnecessary.

[@vittoriovaleriolabia7725]

how much does it cost to do this job at the mechanic?

[@Servicetutorials]

I think it will take around 1-3 days for a car shop, probably because you pay per hour.

[@CarnivoreConservative]

What year is this car

[@Servicetutorials]

It's VW Golf Mk4 from year 2000, but it's the same for all models produced in 1998-2004

[@peterhalat913]

Absolutely NO need to disconnect or cut the harness off from the HVAC unit!

[@nicolel4439]

Too bad you dont accurately have this step by step...wheres the wiper motor at? You have a bolt under the hood 3 minutes in to video to remove but theres all types of shit in front of it that you dont have there?

[@MadboyStyle]

Remove plastic nut covers from wiper arms x2, Remove 13mm bolt x2, Wiggle the wiperarm to remove the wipers x2, Remove rubber weather grommet, Remove plastic cover and then Resume video.

[@TRCFL]

With all due respect...if your asking this question...I would advise against doing this project. It’s up there as one of the most complex jobs you can do on this car. Think about it...you need to remove the wiper blades as a step towards removing the heater core. Discharge the AC...which is expensive to recharge (Receiver dryer replacement, refrigerant, labor), etc. The risk of damaging an electrical connector / conductor is high, and you will inevitably break something in the process...we all do. Horrible engineering on VW’S part. As I’m responding to this comment 2 weeks after posting, I hope you had success if you took it on. If not and you are still going ahead, consider re foaming the blend doors in the hvac box. That foam has rotted out by now, and most likely chunks have been hitting you in the face on occasion as you drive. Humble Mechanic has a good video on that. Good luck.

[@nicolel4439]

@@TRCFL lol...i already did the job...thank you very much...and fixed my heat!....its not too much to expect a step by step project to include each step lol just because i expect it to doesnt mean im not capable to fix my heater core...i did...it would have been helpful not to have to watch other videos to fill in where this video skipped!

[@emotionalintelligence776]

@@TRCFL First and foremost the point is to replace the damn heater core not disassemble the entire effing car. Mine failed last year and I did not discharge the AC don't understand how stupidity keeps growing because people are too lazy to find out what's factual! Unbolt what's necessary to gain access, replace the core, and put everything back, definitely easier on a mark 4 then a mark 3!

[@christopherwilliams3874]

@@emotionalintelligence776 hey man. I’m about to be doing this on my car soon. My dash is ready to come out once I pull the steering wheel. How were you able to pull the HVAC box away from firewall without disconnecting that AC connection? Also, I have watched a tutorial where the guy said to only loosed the big crossbar. Is that what you did or did you fully remove it? I’m trying to do as little as possible to do the repair. This video makes it seem like a total destruction video. Obviously this is a parts car and isn’t going back together.
