The Gazelle car heater consists of a plastic casing in which a radiator, two fans mounted on the electric motor shaft, upper, central and lower dampers and a control panel with three levers and switches are installed
An additional resistor is installed on the left side of the heater, providing reduced rotation speeds of the electric fan.
Drain the coolant
Having removed the protective shield for the main heater hoses and disconnecting the hoses from the radiator, remove it from the main heater housing
Removing the instrument panel
Having remembered or written down the connection order, disconnect the wires from the central light switch.
Disconnect the plug block from the main heater switch
Disconnect the plug block of the auxiliary heater switch
Use a screwdriver to pry the spring bracket of the heater tap rod
Disconnect the heater tap rod from the control panel.
Use a wrench or a 10mm socket to unscrew the two bolts securing the windshield blower pipe.
It is enough to unscrew the bolt closest to the heater 2-3 turns
Using a 8-point head, unscrew the self-tapping screw of the lower fastening of the windshield blower pipe.
Remove the right blower pipe with hose.
We also remove the second heater pipe
Disconnect the connector from the heater motor.
Remove the plug block from the resistor terminals.
Use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the bolt securing the plastic channel of the wiring harness.
Using a 12mm wrench, unscrew the four bolts securing the heater to the body.
The ground wire tip is installed under the bottom bolt.
Lifting the heater a little, remove it along with the brackets
There are sealing gaskets installed between the heater brackets and the body
The second method of removing the heater is without brackets
To do this, remove the electric fan and unscrew the two bolts securing the brackets to the heater.
Having raised the heater 1–2 cm, remove it from the brackets by removing the end of the “mass” wire from the bracket bolt.
Install the heater in the specified sequence:
- install the heater brackets with gaskets on the engine shield and tighten the bolts that secure them. We “dress” the heater on the brackets, at the same time placing the loop of its fastening onto the body bracket.
Tighten the bolts securing the brackets to the heater and connect the wires and hoses.
