Yea... Well I had a over head a couple days ago :S had all the hoses and temo changed. And system flushed, was driving home from work and saw smoke coming for the radio * I thought it was from there and turned it off thinking I blew up a radio again for blasting it to loud * But I notice it was coming from all my vents and when u looked under the car the ler part in from of the cat was smoking :S.. and when u turned on the heat or AC it just got worse.. So I realized it was the heater core * Pissed because I had the dash out 2 weeks ago doing mods and shiznit * So I took out the whole dash in 1 - 3 hours without taking out the seats or full consule. Got to the stupid black box... and took out every screw I saw :S But realized it wasn't coming out. Since it was going in to the single digits I left and came here...
Notice on erics site u gotta disable the A/C lines aswell and theres a bracket holding the devil...
My only question is why did it happen after I Got the dash and everything back in and did all the work..
Answer?
Simple people told me U should of changed the Heart core * WTF is that? It makes your heat oo * Worries its gonna happen ~~~ BAM!! ~~ It does...
murphy's LAWL! :hick:
when i changed my dash i changed my $30. heater core
[LIST=1]
- Karma
- Murphy's Law
- But most likely it was this:
When you had the system flushed it probably loosened and/or stirred up any gunk that had accumulated in and had sealed off any of the weak spots of the heater core that had been developing over the years.

Same here Innes, when i built my car and rewired it bumper to bumper, i did the same and changed my heater core. kinda glad i did , now looking back ......May all the angels of the blue oval god be with anyone that is thinking of doing their heater core next. ALMEN....
There's also a bolt on the engine side of the firewall that holds the heater core housing in...
And..they're a bitch to take out...read somewhere that a factory-unequipped AC car can have the heater core box taken out w/o having to pull dash..but I don't know for sure....
I've done so many now on mine, it doesn't take me but an hour to yank it all..dash I mean.
I think this heater core has been bad tho... Because the smoke on the ler has been happening :S But that could of been the oil pan leak which was fixed along with the main seal...
Simple answer,it's OLD.
I will be changing out mine next weekend. It needs it.
My heater core's been dead for more than 2 years and I have no plans to change it anytime soon.
