[s-cars] Heater? Leak

[Bill Mahoney]

Thanks Feico.

Confirms others comments.. Apparently leak is not the heater core
itself, but some crimped on aluminum over plastic flanges?  

I'll have to look at Bentley or the FA.

Thanks again.

Has anyone BTDT?  In my few years of list watching I can not recall any 
reported heater failures. 

Any ideas how extensive a repair this might be in cost and labor? 






Yes - it happened to me in my 1992 in June - it is currently bypassed -
the dealer quoted me $1000.00 for labor only ... my mechanic told me it
was a big job ... I am going to do it myself ... when I get some time.
