Mainly designed to just get give idea of what the job entails with some good tips as well. This is not a complicated job however the video may make it seem a little easier than it actually is..
Quick video on basics of diagnose/replace the heater core on this 2014 VW Passat. this should carry over to a few other years and models. If you know which ones, please feel free to comment. When replacing the heater core, it is highly recommended to flush out the entire cooling system at the same time. `

Im having the same issues with my '12 VW Passat SE 2.5L. This video was very very helpful to understand how-to fix and replace the Heater Core on a VW Passat!! I wish you were in my city fix my VW Passat! Lol! After watching your video I think I can fix & replace the Heater Core in my VW Passat.
Thanks for making this video!!!
Hi, are there pipes in there that could vibrate against covers or each other to give a tinny rattle?
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks so much. This video is amazing. I really appreciate the detail. Got this done in a few hours (I'm slow!) and saved me over $900.
So you don't have to drain all coolant first?
I'm not understanding the loose clamp near the end when you are installing the new heater core. Am I missing something? Does it clamp tighter and you just skipped that part in the video?
do not buy aftermarket, they are incorrect and the top typically won't connect to the pipe. AND the dealer price is actually lower than the local stores. GET the $14 new clamps.
Yeah you left the hardest part out. Putting it back together is much more difficult than taking it apart.
Excellently done, very professional, I wish you were here in Vancouver BC to have my car fixed
having trouble getting 4th 6mm screw off heater core panel-its under the blender (yellow tube)
any tips? thanks
Can't slide the pipe back on
not bad… thanks
Thanks for the video. I have a 2011 GTI with a plugged heater core. I was able to get to the heater core inside the car (very similar to the Passat) but because of the tight fit, I am not sure how to pull the inlet and outlet hose out. Is loosening the 6 mm screw inside the engine compartment will give a little more wiggle room with the two hoses? Is this why i have to loosen the 6 mm screw? Thanks
AND I THINK THIS JUST SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!!
I can't get the panel under the steering wheel to come loose from the center console corner right by the sifter and AC controls. I can't figure out if it's supposed to slide out of the center console or pull up from it. It's the panel that has the headlight switch all the way over to next to the radio. Pulled all bolts but that panel won't seperate from the center console trim
Great video!! One problem I'm having on my 2013 Passat TDI is accessing the 6mm bolt on the fire wall. There's a big something in the way (turbo?) and I can't even come close to putting my hand in there much less a ratchet and socket. Any ideas?
You never show how the hose pops off. The clips off and it will not budge
Thanks for the helpful video, I have a problem, my heater core is plugged up and it's restricting the flow of coolant through my EGR valve cooler so I have an engine light coming on plus my heat didn't work in the winter time so I knew it was plugged up anyways my daughter has the same car 2014 Passat she had the same problem the coolant that they use in these cars I think is a big problem
very good video, no waste of time & to the point. You're correct about the older ones….replaced one in my old 98 jetta years back and had to take to complete dash out!
Hey can it be the heater core if only half the dash driver side only is heating and passanger side is cool?, no other problems are occurring like overheating or blown head gasket
What happens if you remove the 6mm bolt between the heater hoses?
Just did it tiguan 2010 I got the devil now inside the cabin lol , people please read don't lose 2 h trying to take off the core don't the aluminum hoses , I'll save your day just cut them .
you were amazing in this video, you helped me solve my problem, i spent the day disassembling the car and looking for this part to change and you showed where it was in a direct way! thanks
