If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Please help Bypass heater core

You positive you have a leaking heater core?
What do you see that makes you think it's leaking?



In 11 years in this dealership I have not seen a single heater core leaking in a 7th gen.
Not saying impossible, just saying make sure that's really the problem first.

Look for two coolant hoses going into the firewall. There are your core hoses...
