- Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
- Assembly is carried out in the reverse order of disassembly.
- When installing, do not mix up the heater hoses and secure them securely,
- When installing, secure the drain hose.
- After installation, adjust the damper drive cables.
- After installation, charge the system with refrigerant and check for leaks.
- After installation, enter the audio system security codes.

2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Disconnect the tubes from the evaporator.
4. Remove the coolant from the system when the engine is cold.
5. Loosen and move away from the edges the hose clamps (1). Disconnect the inlet (2) and outlet (3) heater hoses. Immediately after disconnecting the hoses, drain the working fluid into a clean, dry container. Do not allow the working fluid to come into contact with painted surfaces or electrical equipment.
6. Cut off the plastic clips (1) from the evaporator tubes. Remove dirt with compressed air or detergents. Remove the metal rims (2), disconnect the inlet (3) and outlet (4) tubes. Remove the sealing rings (5) from the tubes. Wipe the inner walls of the tubes with a brush and SP-10 compressor oil (after disconnecting the tubes, do not use compressed air or detergents).
