[V6-12v] heater core

[Clive Young]

Been there done that ...

Good news is it is easy to swap, the bad news is you have to take the
dashboard out to do it ! 

 I would NOT recommend it unless you are like me, being cheap combined with
half crazy. If you want I can send you a few pics, it is not a "how to" but
more of a be prepared for what you are in for . 
Mine is a 95 audi 90 by the way

Subject: [V6-12v] heater core

okay,  been putting some miles on the 93 100 csqa, 
it's been getting cold lately in the morning...
noticed i get little to no heat :(

took a peak under the plastic cover where the heater
fan box is tonight.

I found the previous owner disconnected the heater
hoses going into the heater fan box and connected the
inlet hose to the outlet hose, eliminating any
antifreeze getting into the heater core...

Guessing the heater core probably leakes, it's the
only conclusion i can come up with :(

just exactly where is the heater core ?  under the
hood or under the dash ?  

also there is a funky little plastic/rubber thing next
to the heater box just where he connected the hoses
together.  What is this ?  Heater valve ?

i priced a heater valve and core at under a $100.- 
hoping it's not a complete horror to swap :(


Mike,
93 100 csqa 203k miles...
