Stuck in traffic for the first time this summer, and had my feet all wet with radiator fluid. I have a chilton book, but not clear on how to replace. Is the core still near the glove compartment, or does anyone know manuls other than chilton's.

 

dont have a manual but the core isnt behind the glove....it more like behind the dash where the radio and climate control is

 

damn, I have to remove the dash. Damn, Has anyone removed the dash before. Is it a bitch to remove?

 

its really not too bad, its 4 bolts...ill see if i can find a write up for you

 

thanks, I really need.

 

no luck finding one, but when i pulled mine out of my sol (first time to ever pull a dash) it took me about 20 minutes

 

yup, its actually quite easy to take off..looks intimidating though, but don't be fooled :D

it took me ~20 hours to do my heater core..grab a case of beer and get to it!!

i didn't get it at first too, but re-read it, and it'll make sense..

 

for quick fix until you have time read what i wrote in this post

Hey, if it works for now, I'll do it. Just incase I decide to give up, before I completely destroy the dash, how many hours will a garage charge me?

 

i have no idea man, the dash if your not aquainted with it can take a while to do. im from mass and just by passing the heater core until you have time is what i would do man.... its only gunna get warmer ya know

 

Before you rip the dash out, check the a/c drain line that runs right under the glove box. I thought that the heater core was leaking in a del sol I was working on because the floor was just soaked all the time, but after a quick look up under the glove box I saw that the a/c evaporator drain was unhooked. One small hose clamp and leak was fixed!
