Audi God, please give me a break! (heater core & Antenna)



Dear Audi enthusiasts,

	I thought over and over last night, but I can't find anything I did, 
in this month, would made Audi God so angry. In the past few weeks Audi God 
really treated me bad.

(Heater Core)
Last week I told you guys I finally fixed my cooling system. NO I think not. 
This Monday I checked for any leaks as usual, unluckily I found some coolant 
droped from the tranny. At fisrt I thought it must be the ATF cooler leaking 
coolant but after a half hour of investigation, finally I found that the 
coolant was came from the Heater Unit. 

>>Inside the Heater Unit I think it is only the heater core would leaks
coolant, right?<< But one thing I really don't get it, is, I just replace my 
heater core few months ago in San Francisco before I moved to Indiana. 
Does the heater core easy to broke? How hard it will be, if I want to 
replace it by myself? Does anyone had experience about replacing the heater 
core? The coolant leaks slowly and it usually leaks at night when the car 
cools down. 

(Antenna)
I said Audi God treated me so bad this month. I was right, it's really 
bad. This moring, my power antenna seems not to go down anymore. I took 
the antenna apart at home and found that a plastic wire was broken, 
therefor the motor couldn't roll down the antenna.

Any substitution for this power antenna? Does the Fuba roof mount fits 
on my car? I mean is fits on the original postiion not on the roof.Does
anyone had experinece about rplaceing the Antenna? The antenna's 
connector is kinda bizarre, I just don't know how to deal with it.


It would be kind if anyone could answer my questions above. Any 
suggestion is appreciate. Oh, I alomst forgot to mention my car, 
Audi 87 5kcst.


Thank you
