[s-cars] Heater core?'s

[Gmail]

I replaced my original and leaking core with a "surprisingly affordable" one from Autohas AZ. It even claimed to be "German", whatever that means. It didn't fit very well (tubes were too long to go through the opening in the heater box easily) and only lasted 6 months. I ended up having to redo it standing in 2 feet of snow. 

Short answer, go OE or be prepares to suffer the same fate I did.
