Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, it's your Heater Core (or heat exchange). I just replaced mine, and while not being extremely difficult, you have to take apart a lot of stuff to get to it. (thank God the access point is at the front of your car and not under your dash!) You have to remove: battery plastic covers wiper's arms plastic cowl battery wiper mechanism stress arms/bars center bracket then pinch the two coolant hoses with the correct tool remove the hoses remove the foamy top cover remove old heater core from housing clean all the mess (do you know where all those pieces of foam are coming from your vents??? yes, from that flap!) Re-instal in the correct order. To minimize bubbles on your coolant system, pre-fill your core with fresh coolant. After installation, release the purge valve on the coolant tank and turn on the car. check for leaks and keep an eye on the level. No more coolant/musky smell inside the cabin, no more dripping on top of my shoes and the heat now works.

Didn't have any luck with the camera. Had a little issue with one of the clamp pinchers and had to run with the car semi-disassembled to buy another one... not bad but very laborious...
