[s-cars] Htr Core Update 1

[Hap Maguire]

Dear Balooney Tunes

Your writeup of this most important part of Audiism has captured my full and undivided attention. Whilst Da Monstah was in for its most recent 3 year transformation, part of da Schtick was a complete interior change to black which included a 96 S6 dash. Since Davey Jones had the whole car apart for this transformation and since he completely rewired the car, he also replaced the heater core and all the various motors under there. The reason I share this with you is that having the motor, tranny and dash pulled facilitated these steps to a minor event. Soooo my advice to you would be to pull that tranny before you do anything else. What else did you expect me to advise?

Hap, wit dakine transultimate advice not from Evahboost, Maguire
