Refitting. Depress the silver clip and release the air conditioning pipe clamps

Depress the silver clip and release the air conditioning pipe clamps

5 On air conditioned vehicles, disconnect the refrigerant pipes at the engine compartment bulkhead. Discard the O-ring seals, new ones must be fitted. Plug or cover the ends of the pipes, and recover the grommet from the bulkhead. Note: On vehicles manufactured after October 1999, the pipes clamps can be released using a very small flat-bladed screwdriver to press down the silver clip (see illustration).

6 Remove the entire facia and support crossbrace as described in Chapter 11.

7 Note their fitted positions, then disconnect any wiring plugs from the heater unit.

8 Undo the nuts, and remove the blower motor/evaporator housing from the left-hand side of the heater housing (see illustrations).

9 Undo the nuts securing the heater unit to the bulkhead, and remove the unit from the vehicle (see illustrations).

10 Undo the screw and remove the matrix pipe clamp.

11 Lift the matrix from the housing (see illustration).

12 Refitting is the reverse order of removal, noting that new air conditioning pipe O-rings must be fitted.

13 Refill the cooling system, reconnect the battery and run the engine. Check for leaks and proper system operation.
