if you mean the heater matrix i have been told that you can remove it without removing the dashboard, but it is difficult.

For left hand drive it is absolutely possible. Haven't been there myself YET, but I have seen it done.

Some wiggling around is necessary and you'll get bruises and cuts on your hands but it is doable.

Remember to order new o-rings!

OK, this is for a 145 RHD, but I am sure you will get the idea, many of the internals are the same

It succeed for me to take it out. whitout to remove the "facia" "dashboard"
But my car is left hand drive ( rightly side )
I remove "glove compartment" and fan. and just space enough to get it
out, THE worst to remove is the cover platic under heater tubes :bang: AND to set on again...........Becourse it hold "locks" heater tubes in place.
I have some foto short. I will make a tread under ( how to do it )

REMEMBER TO REMOVE BATTERI AND AIRBAG UNIT so no water spilt will
damage it....
