  Note
The heat exchanger is designed for a particular direction of flow of the coolant. Therefore, the coolant hoses must not be interchanged when connecting them.
–  Clamp off coolant hoses -1- and -4- using hose clamps, up to 25 mm -3094-.
–  Lift retaining clips -2- and -3-.
–  Disconnect coolant hoses -1- and -4- from heat exchanger for heater.
 

Removing and installing Valeo heat exchanger, RHD vehicles

–  Push a piece of hose -A- onto upper connection.
Insert compressed air gun into end of hose.
–  Hold drip tray -B- under connection -C- and carefully blow coolant out of heat exchanger using compressed air gun.
–  Seal off open lines and connections with clean plugs from engine bung set -VAS 6122-.

–  Check foam seals -2- attached to heat exchanger -1- for damage and replace if necessary.
  Note
If the foam seal is not bonded in, it may roll up when the heat exchanger is fitted.
Cold air may flow past the heat exchanger if the foam seal is damaged or not properly fitted.
 

Removing and installing Valeo heat exchanger, RHD vehicles

–  Check connection -3- of heat exchanger and connection -2- of coolant pipes for damage or soiling.
–  Clean and smoothen sealing surface for seals.
–  Moisten new seals -4- with coolant (or lubricate lightly with silicone grease) and fit them to coolant pipe -1-.
–  Carefully slide heat exchanger into heater and air conditioning unit to stop.
  Note
When sliding in the heat exchanger, make sure not to damage the connections and coolant pipes.
–  Push coolant pipes into heat exchanger to stop.
Risk of malfunction on heat exchanger due to defective seals and leaks.Never squeeze seals.Never cant coolant pipes.Slide on coolant pipes completely.
 

Removing and installing Valeo heat exchanger, RHD vehicles

–  Fit new clip -5- or screw-type clip -2- onto joint of coolant pipe and heat exchanger.
–  Tighten bolt -3- → Chapter „Assembly overview - heater and air conditioning unit“.
–  Check clip and screw-type clip for proper seating on connections of heat exchanger and check coolant pipes. The coolant pipes must not contact air distribution housing or any other components.
–  Fill with coolant → Rep. gr.19.
–  Read event memory, and clear any entries displayed vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided fault finding” mode.
