once you get behind the glove box and can see the heater core, get a screw driver, wedge, and break. I'm serious, its the same way with VWs. they use an apoxy to keep the core from rattling. just make sure you don't go overboard and break everything around the core. Rubbish this will do nothing but damage!! The correct procedure is 1.Remove the rear section of the centre console covering the park brake lever 2. Remove passengers seat. 3. Remove glovebox 4.Remove centre console. 4.Disconncect heaterbox control cables. 5.Remove heater controls panel 6.Remove steering wheel. 7. Remove instrument facia panel 8.Remove instrument cluster 9.Remove dash end panels left & right side. 10. Remove screw cover in the center of the dash next to the windscreen 11. Remove two securing bolts at each end of the dash inside the access covers, remove screw at center dash area. 12. disconnect round air distribution tubes at each side. 13. unclip wiring from dash where required. 14. pull complete dash away from windscreen at towards rear of car. 15. disconnect remaining electrical connectors as space permits. 16. disconnect heater hoses from in the engine bay 17. Unbolt heater box from firewall manouver a/c box off studs if required. 18. remove heater box from car 19. remove four screws holding heater core in to the heaterbox. 2. remove old heater core and replace with new unit. Revesre the order and the car will be back together all fixed with no damage.
Follow the upper radiator hose to the engine. The housing the hose connects to hold the thermostat. take the housing loose and remove and replace the thermostat.
I am guessing that this is a manual shift . It has no actual stick . You must take the speedo cable housing loose at the trans , 10mm bolt and pull it up , the fluid level check is on the end of that assy. very easy to do .
loose change
yes they are the same. take heater lines loose from fire wall and take the screws out of the lower passenger dash board. (lines located in engine compartment)
The thermostat housing is at the end of the big hose going to the radiator on top of the engine. Take the hose loose from the housing and take the 2 bolts out of the housing to replace the thermostat. REMEMBER......The spring on the thermostat always goes towards the engine.
It will not respond to all speeds... It will not change from high to low... It does nothing at all... It loose or smells burnt...
It should work assuming the leak isn't too big. Try it you have nothing to loose.
Loose Change - book - was created in 1977.
Loose hose clamp or fitting? Thermostat housing loose? Expands when gets hot
Could be your fuse, blower, heater core,loose ac belt, thermastatt or low coolant.
you should only have to take loose the heater hoses where they go into the firewall and of course the heater core itself
there are only 2 bolts on thermostat housing. if housing doesnt come loose when blots removed, just knockwith a hammer . dont need to hit hard, just enuff to knock it loose
