dale930 0 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi, im just about to tackle the heater matrix and remove the dash. Im aware there is a guide to do this but I cant find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Im new to this site and im struggling to navigate my way around. Thanks in advance! Link to post Share on other sites
dom.joy 87 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 In the knowledge Vault section there is a guide. It is really helpful and easy to follow. I would say take your time and label anything you disconnect.I have just finished doing this and it isnt that bad if you get a second pair of hands to help with the knee bar and heater box removal.

dom.joy 87 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Here is the link to the section. the guide is split over 2 parts http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/forum/22-interior/ Link to post Share on other sites
dale930 0 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Brilliant thanks. I have taken the dash out just got to the nuts under the flaps in the firewall... The bottom captive just keeps spinning and spinning. Nightmare. Many more wires too with the aircon... Link to post Share on other sites
dom.joy 87 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Brilliant thanks. I have taken the dash out just got to the nuts under the flaps in the firewall... The bottom captive just keeps spinning and spinning. Nightmare. Many more wires too with the aircon... Ah man, seems I got lucky.The heater box is definitely larger with air con. The nuts are slightly different to the guide with air con. There are 2 on the passenger side that are around the air con pipes, easy to see though Link to post Share on other sites
dale930 0 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hello again. After tearing my hands to shreds im getting there slowly. How do I remove the knee bar? I have taken the two bolts on either side off and the two in the middle. Do I need to take the steering column off too? Looking near the fuse box frightens me a bit! The bar seems to be heading right back. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
dom.joy 87 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I used a chisel to remove the2 shear bolts that hold the bar to the column and then replaced them. Some people say it's easier to remove the bolt at the UJ. I didn't need to completely remove the knee bar just moved it enough to prise the heater box out. Link to post Share on other sites
dale930 0 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Sorted it thanks! Just a lot of fiddling and ended up with my hands cut to shreds! I would have rather re-build the engine again... Link to post Share on other sites
