Hi,
Do you have experience with removing the dashboard from the i30 FD (2009)?
I need to replace the heater in the car. I need advice or some manual on how to do it.

thank you.

Do you need to remove the heater core matrix? If so, it definitely is a dash-out job. Reply #10 in this thread will explain what world of hurt you are in for: :link: heat exchanger replace...

Someone on here has fixed it by taking off some trim panels, cutting out the broken core, and installing the new one with some high-temperature hose joining the two. I'll see if I can find the thread

EDIT: Having a bit of a tough time finding the thread (maybe I imagined it) but this video explains it pretty well, even though it's an older model Elantra:
