I replaced the heater core on my 1985 300zx a few years ago. It was a nightmarish job. It is located centrally behind the center console. The actual heater core is located in a housing and only takes a half of an hour to remove and install in the housing. But to get to the housing is a long task which involve removing everything in the way to get to it. I had to loosen steering column and loosen the entire DASHBOARD assembly to the point that it could be lifted high enough to remove the housing. There was a great number of bolts that had to be removed which required me to ly flat on my back and work upside down in the drivers seat. I am not a big guy and it was an awkward task. It took me 6 to 8 hours to remove everything because I was working in tight quarters. I t went back together more easier because i had an idea where everything went and a tagged my parts so that I new which bolt went where. It probably a 700 to 900 dollar job at a good mechanic. I dont think I would attempt again.

I replaced my heater core in 1991 for my ford F100 I6 300. If I remember correctly , it was a tiresome job because you have to remove the black plastic housing under the hood; which has a lot of small nuts. If my memory serves me, the heater core is under the hood, inside the black plastic compartment. The core is immediately under the place where your heater core hoses route to the firewall. You should have an easy time finding it. good luck

How do you fix a leaking heater core?

There really is no way except to replace the core. In the old days you could pull the core and have it soldered up at a radiator shop, but most modern heater cores are aluminum and plastic. You can try stop leak but i have had very poor results using stop leak in heater cores.

The heater core is located behind/around the center of the of the firewall . It is around $300 to replace at a shop and not recommended to do on your own unless u have proper equipment and know how. You will know if your heater core is damaged when u pour coolant in and it drains out of a rubber elbow around the left central area of the firewall. DONT NOT DRIVE WITH BROKEN HEATER CORE. You risk severly damanging your engine.
