Careful separating the pipes from the matrix, they bend easily and then even when you think they are ready to reconnect the claps won’t close, I have now had to order new bulk head pipes so not looking forward to this.
YES! Any tips? I’m stumped. It’s almost like they shrunk 1/4 inch and absolutely refuse to go back in the heater core far enough for me to put the screw clamps back on.
@@robburton3255 2009 MKV GTI, 2.0 TSI. Unfortunately, a miracle. So firstly, make sure both the clamps and o-rings are factory or exactly like factory. Mine weren’t. The o-rings shouldn’t be simple o-rings, but sort of funnel shaped. Second, I backed the firewall screw out so far it fell out, but I was able to manipulate the pipes around at that point. I can’t remember if I put the o-rings into the core first, or put them on the pipe ends first. Here’s where it gets fuzzy… I remember the tubes not seating properly and struggling. But I think I put the clamps on first (without tightening). I fought and fought and fought. Try moving the core around as you manipulate the pipes -the key is, the pipes have to be PERFECTLY aligned to slip in or it ain’t happening. I do recall getting them seated twice, once without the clamps, hoping I could bend the clamps around after seated, but that was a fail. Have the clamps ready to go on the pipes beforehand kinda dangling, but make sure the screws are facing you. Then bam! It slid in, seated and I popped the clamps over the “humps” and quickly tightened one of the screws. It stayed enough for me to tighten the second one. Bruised back, spaghetti noodles my arms, skinned my knuckles, cursed the heavens, and almost resorted to cutting the pipes and making a join with screw clamps and heater hose, but when it slipped in and seated I nearly fainted with joy. Good luck!
It's unbelievably hard.. I was struggling to get them out as well... you kinda do need a second person to help you from the front of the vehicle pulling on the pipes.. anyone that says it's an easy job, maybe just by looking at the video, either they never tried replacing one, or they were just plain lucky.. this shit from moderately hard to fucking impossible without doing some damage.. good luck!
@@zoly16 just use a screwdriver between the pipes? Yes I know they say it's alluminium and it bends easy but I think the pipes itself are stronger and the core itself will be replaced anyway
My VW dealer has removed the parts deptarment and only open to trade. So basically dont want home mechanics to do any work on thier cars and VW can charge £79 plus VAT per hour at 20% and rob you for VW original parts. An O ring using a trade person cost me £12+ VAT!
What original parts?? The "original' heater core for this car is probably made by Denso (it is on my Tiguan). Open it up and see for yourself if you don't believe me. This is the same for many other parts. The manufacturers don't make most of these parts, they buy them from contractors. What the dealers do is buy that part for X amount and then charge you 3-7X that amount. Don't believe me? Ask for a quote and then google the part number yourself to see the actual price that you can get it for.

@@justcause3254 Great advice. I’ll give it a shot. Thank you so much for your in-depth explanation. Much appreciated!

Very good ...dear palo
thank you
Is this one MK5 that you have, or do you fix various MK5s?
How difficult was it to line up the pipes with the heater core and put the clamps back on? I am struggling.

Did you try reverse flushing before replacing? Seems like not much to fail.
VW known for rusting up and plugging entire cooling system, flushing does not work
You said you failed, but what did you fail on?
The double connection aluminum pipe between the radiator and the engine is rotten. I can't take it out. how come out
Replying to a two year old message to see if you managed to get it out because I'm fighting the same problem right now

Where do we see the rebuilding?? demolition is not the issue!! even a monkey can do that.
I agree and I'm a little ashamed
Chcem sa spýtať
Potom keď si dolieval chladiacu kvapalinu, aj si to potreboval nejak ovzdušnit alebo sa to nejako samo ovzdušnuj.
samo sa to. je dobre uplne zohriat a nech sa otvorí termostat. a potom este doliat. a po prvej jazde znovu pozriet ci netreba este doliat

Ahoj, prosim ta ako si dal naspät tu svorku mission impossible, vobec sa mi to tam nedari dat ani s jednou gumickou nie to este s tou ovalnou.
Nerad byi som poradil nejaku blbost. Ale napriklad treba namazat veci ktore do seba nejdu alebo, trochu vybrusit to uz je ale posledna moznost......
But you never show if you removed the heater core itself???

Hello
How did you finaly disconnect the double connection between the 2 aluminium pipe and the core inside the car ??? I am blocked on this
Typical RUclipsr so called mechanic...he doesn't want you to see how he destroyed them....delete the video
Allow to soak with WD-40 or Blaster or penetrating oil
Is that a kitchen knife? lol
