Can anybody tell my if replacement of the heater core is a easy job? Can somebody tell my how to do it. And are there some pictures or drawings to see? Thanks, Tom The Netherlands Europe
Have a look here. The first link is for all the online manuals they have: http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/repair_info/repair_guide/repair_guide.jsp This second one should help with the heater question: http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/17/38/ca/0900823d801738ca/repairInfoPages.htm
No it's not fun or easy. It requires taking the dash 90% out of the car and is a billable 8-9 hour job. You have to watch out for breaking the gear indicator. I've gotten it down to a science, but it'd take a long time to make a write up on it.
Stormin Norman and FamilyTruckster, Thanks for the answer en link to autozone . Tommorow i going to make a bypass and order a heater core from the USA. In my country the heater core is 3 times your price ($39,95 x 3 = € 120,- !!!!). FamilyTruckster, What the .... have you done to your wagon. This car is going fast! What engine is in it? We love a Full Size Wagon that is fast. Great to see this on video. Thanks guys, Tom
Just a basic 5.0. Nothing special. About 230hp. It's a Explorer 5.0 with a cam. The car is on cardomain with some specs and more pics...
The heat is on! Today we replaced the heater core and it is warm again in the Dino . I don't have to drive with the windows open to defog my windows inside. I bought the heater core at Auto Zone and our family shipped it to The Netherlands. It was a heel of a job. I called it ; 'the school of hard knocks', but we did it in 6 ours. Thanks guys for the support .
