Re: Any tips on heater core replacement

by "William Noble" <nobody@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 4, 2008 at 04:39 PM

1. I found the service manual on line - don't know if the scan is still 
there or not - you may wish to search - I also have a hard copy that I 
insisted the dealer provide with my car when I bought it (new) - you will 
want the real ****sche manual

2. Clark's Garage web site is very helpful, has excellent FAQs for many 
common repairs

3. be sure to change brake fluid immediately to prevent further corrosion
- 
and use a pressure bleeder when bleeding the clutch slave or you will have

problems.

4. change timing belt unless you are positive of its age.  good idea to 
change timing roller also.  I tension them by feel, never had a problem,
but 
there is a special $500 tool to help you do it right.

5. are you sure it's the core? there are some O rings near the core that 
could be the problem.  Also, you can bypass heater for now, though if you 
are in the great snowbelt, that may make driving less comfortable

6. Rennlist and Renntech is another good source for stuff and advice
