niksta Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I would like to replace the heater core (matrix) cause it is leaking coolant. For this I have to take out the heater unit behind the dash. I saw at the service manual that I have to take out the evaporator first. Does anyone know if I can take the heater core out without taking out completely the evaporator but only unscrew it and pick it up a little so as to free up the heater unit to come off?

dr_broon Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Think that @KiNK43 took his out of his mb6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Ooh mate going back a while there. I removed my aircon. And used that as an opportunity to remove the evaporator. But I do recall having to take the complete dashboard out to remove heater box to get at the matrix. How could I forget it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 In that case the evaporator is the least of your worries... You can whip that out by taking the glove box out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niksta Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sorry I didn't reply for so long. Ok. I know that I have to remove the complete dashboard. I only want to know if I have to completely remove the evaporator, cause this I can not do it myself. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Dont think so. But can't remember fully. Pretty sure the central heater box separated from the duct to the fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niksta Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thank you guys for the replies. I will inform about, but in July, because now I don't have much time. Edit: It can't be done without removing the evaporator. So, I went to evacuate the AC system and then I took it apart. Hopefully, everything went well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Number 3 on here? https://www.lingshondaparts.com/partscatalog/catalog/listing/catalog/hondacars/modelid/7745/block/17S1E01/blockref/B__1721/ I notice this notes it's for right hand drive... Might be different for left hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
