my passat 92problem with heating device?
Hi all,
I have VW Passat 92 and this is really a good car. But now suddenly We noticed a water steam coming out of the fan and heating system directly into the cabin. Someone told me that this is heating device?. But to change it one can spend a very long time- the whole day. Advice me what to do Lucas |

my passat 92problem with heating device?
what you have is a heater core (which is like a mini radiator)between the
drivers compartment and the front passenger compartment under the dash near the feet. Basically a black plastic "box" with a split in the middle. It is located inside there. Hopefully you won't have to go there. Lets first look beside the accelerator pedal. On the firewall right behind it you should see 2 rubber hoses. That is hot water in and out to the engine. Where it comes in, it then goes to the back of the "black box". You may need to take the seat out as you will be getting your head down at the pedals. Just before it goes into the "box" there should be 2 hose clamps that you can tighten. Hopefully, fingers crossed, that is where the leak is at. If not, then I would suggest getting a library book on VW repair(Rabbits, Golfs -don't really matter they are basically the same in construction) and read up on heater core removal(for now the heater core has sprung a leak) which you can either get repaired at a rad shop or score another at a salvage yard) New costs are terrible. If you do the job yourself, You will be pulling the seats(so that you have some room to work. If you are a heavy set fellow, woe beit to yourself. A number of hand wrenches(metric)10&13 and a screwdriver and a needle nose plier and you can do it. Better if you get the book for the pics are worth a thousand words. |

You were able to change out the heater core without removing the dash on a
'92 Passat? And you can see the heater hoses inside of the vehicle? Amazing. look for the '93 passat pictures of a heater core job here http://vwdoc1.tripod.com/ Watch out for pesty popups. Sorry about that I will have to get a site without those things. ;-) Amazon or Ebay for your Bentley repair manual. -- later, dave (One out of many daves) "McScratchy" > wrote in message ... > wrenchwench wrote: >> what you have is a heater core (which is like a mini radiator)between the >> drivers compartment and the front passenger compartment under the dash >> near the feet.
