if it was me, id say ring up a dealer or recommended repair place. Ive had the h-cores repaced on both GLI's Ive owned and it was quite an ordeal according to the mechanics that told me they had to completely take apart the dash to get to all the parts of the core that need to go along with the failed component.
5 years ago, the job cost me $400 to get done including the parts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Bensinger" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 26, 2004 10:16 PM Subject: [a2-16v-list] utoh...heater core going? > Hey all, > > As luck would have it, coolant smell inside car when engine is hot(sitting > in traffic).
