HeaterCore replacement, 87 turbo
My 10000k turbo coupe just began to drip antifreeze out of the lower blower port and steam vapor from the upper ports. I assume this is because of a bad heater core. Can someone back me up on this. If this is the case, how difficult is a heater core replacement and where can I get a new heater core? Do the Chilton manuals explain the procedure? I only drive the car spring-Fall and was thinking maybe to just bypass the heater core hoses at the firewall. Good idea or not?
Thanks Ron

its definitly your heater core, I have the same problem with my 88 TC I bypassed mine for now but I am going to change the heater core soon, I know that you have to drop the steering column and pull the dash out a little to get to the heater box I dont know if the chilton shows how to do it.. I have the Haynes repair manual and its about as worthless as a car with no engine. I'll change my heater core and let you know what I run into and give you some pointers of what to do. hope I can help...

I just replaced mine last weekend. It took about 6 hours but I did some other things while the dash was out. The is a good article on http://natomessageboard.com/cgi-bin/...?ubb=forum;f=1 under the tech articles that is a big help. There is only 7 bolts holding in the dash but you have to evacuate your AC and recharge it.

Check out www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/index.php. Search the tech part and I believe it states it can be done w/o removing the dash.

the dash must be pulled to remove the heater core, when I did mine it took me about 4 hours. its not as bad as everyone says it is. there is a write up on www.coolcats.net about the heatercore swap.
