Pulling mine out to replace the heater core. this is a guide for the XF dash removal, it's basically the same for XD XE. i originally used the gregorys manual i think to remove an XD or XE one, and didn't need to use it for the XFs i did several times later (differences i can think of, is the 5 screws along the top of the dash are not covered by vents, only little plastic caps) i'm fairly sure the rest is the same, remove the dash WHOLE, after you've removed any alarm, stereo etc or other non factory wiring (LPG gauge/switch perhaps) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,231 Posted June 7, 2021 there's some more in this thread on separating the heater box (gently) again, it's for XF but it's basically the same. feel free to take any photos of any differences and use the links in My signature to add to the thread.

Had that fixed about 5 years ago when I brought it. The guy told me the windscreen was leaking. Lol. Had the plenum cut out and weld new piece in. 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
