Nick Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 The TIS says to avoid getting coolant on the cam belt, but the lowest pipe to unhook to drain is away from the cam belt?! Why the warning? Do I leave the heater set to, say, 22C so that the heater is drained, and hence refilled? Which is the best pipe to unhook? Also any tips on doing this job and avoiding problems would be very welcome!(This will be part of the project to replace my a/c condensor). Quote
seatkid Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 I too need to change my evaporator - although the alternative will be to have it done at a Seat dealer in Poland later this year for a fifth of the UK price..(my parts) When I looked at the task (went at the dash for about half an hour before giving up) - I couldnt really see why you need to drain the coolant. Although I'm not sure, I think I could get to the A/C pipes on the engine bulkhead just by removing the scuttle under the window. Stripping the dash is what put me off. I also have a problem in that my radio won't come out - I've buggered up the latches at the sides and its locked solid.. If I needed to disconnect the heater matrix it would just be at the top end - there should only be a little spillage as this is the highest point. Quote
