rsweeney 40 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) It's very tedious, not all that bad though! id seriously recommend changing the foam on the panels inside the ducting whilst your at it as I'm having to strip down the dash again for this Edited May 28, 2015 by rsweeney rsweeney 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's just time consuming mostly. All the plugs are different so you can't mix them up. The only issue is not losing any screws and remembering which one is for where.

rsweeney 40 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Yeah I only get slightly warm air and it's because all of the foam has come off the heater control doors ! Going to replace it with some HVac tape someone recommend using Edited May 29, 2015 by rsweeney Link to post Share on other sites

rsweeney 40 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) dyno mat would probably do the job nicely come to think of it, better than a bit of tape !I think it's heater box removal unless you can split the box inside the car after removing dash I will let you know as I'm doing it very soon !

B4VR6 193 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Heater box needs to come out to seperate it, to get the flaps out. There's two inside Link to post Share on other sites
