Removing the heating and ventilation control module (Focus Turnier 1)

Dismantling

Disconnect the battery ground cable. Securely raise the front of the vehicle.

Open the coolant expansion tank cap. Open the coolant drain valve and drain the coolant into a clean container for later use.

Disconnect the hoses on the heat exchanger - after this, blow out the heat exchanger with compressed air, otherwise the coolant remaining in the heat exchanger will spill into the passenger compartment during dismantling.

Lower the front of the vehicle.

Remove the shift lever trim. Unscrew the shift head, remove the trim from the clamps, if any, disconnect the connector.

Remove the center console. To do this, remove the rubber plugs (arrows) and loosen the screws.



Remove the rear seat heating duct.

Remove the lower trim at the footwell on the passenger side next to the driver.

Disconnect the ventilation hose at the feet.

Remove (4 bolts) the trim at the feet (arrows).





Remove the gas pedal - disconnect the multi-pin connector, unscrew the nuts (3).



Press the rear steel clamp. Important: do not damage the seat.

Remove the cross support bracket of the protective cover.

Disconnect both parts of the heating heat exchanger housing (four steel clamps, one bolt).

Unscrew the bolts (2), loosen the mounting plates (7) and carefully push the heat exchanger down and remove it to the side.

Installation

When installing, install all structural elements in the reverse order. Pay attention to the correct positioning of the guide pins. If the housing is not sufficiently sealed after installation or the fastening plates may have broken, use steel clamps instead.



Perform a functional test. Check the coolant level.
