[s-cars] C4 UrS Heater Core R&R Based on Kinderutz's "2.5 hr" instructions - with photos.

Dave, that's a great write up. Wish it had been around when I did my heater core - maybe I would have done it sooner and not let it sit for several months.  Thanks for the advice and links you gave me over at Audiworld.

Pulling the radio only takes a couple of minutes if you have the removal tools, so that's what I did.  The opening was too small for my hands, but I used a long slotted screwdriver to get the red and blue plugs off the heater box.  I figured it'd be easier than trying to work behind the dash.

It's not a complicated job, but there are a lot of parts and it takes a while.  I probably spent about 8 hours on it over a few weeks.  The quote from the shop was for 6 hours of labor.
