Replacing Radiator & Heater Matrix

[Shaft120]

Anybody done a job on replacing the Radiator (+thermostat), and/or the heater matrix on the VZN185 3.4L ??

Have parts arriving next week and wanted to see if it is a pain in the ass or not, as to whether I sub contract the bother to the local garage or just do it myself

Probably most of dash out (including the blower fan and air con) for heater if anything like the LN and KZN130 models.

Hmm - sounds like a pain. Do I need to worry about air bags & air con compressed bottles?

Yes, if you have air bags then make sure you know how to disable them or have it done by the experts. Air Con will need degassing before removal.
