Re: This may be the repair on the SVX I'm just not willing to do
Did you end up with any extra parts? Not too bad? That looks like a nightmare!

Re: This may be the repair on the SVX I'm just not willing to do
When I did that job about 3 years ago I had the car all apart much like the pictures above. I had been working on the car in the back yard when I quit working for the night and went inside. A neighbour with a nasty sense of humour grabbed a handful of nuts, bolts, washers and screws from his supply of miscellaneous fasteners and put them in my car. I wasn't really impressed.

Yikes. Those photos suggest that Subaru engineers expected the heater core to outlast the car.

Re: This may be the repair on the SVX I'm just not willing to do
thats just for a heatercore replacement?
I would just like to say.... I just threw up in my mouth a little.... I dont think I would mind getting into my dash that much if it was for something AWESOME.. (as if a turbo needed that kind of dismantle, or trans swap) But for a heater core? I'd still do it though.

Ending up with an extra nut or bolt when your done ain't so bad, its running out before your done that sucks. Or is it the other way 'round? Bruce

Re: This may be the repair on the SVX I'm just not willing to do
Check out my pictures!!
Yeah I changed mine too, it was a long process but was actually quite easy. The hardest part was ordering the wrong heater core and having someone cut off the rigid pipes and silver solder some new ones on correctly. The good thing was you can get rid of some rattles in your car and give it a REALLY good clean inside. OLD NEW Jordan |

Ooooh wow, thats one fine weight-reduction kit you snapped those pics of!
Plus, you can even throw down a mattress in there with all that room and sleep during long trips! |

Jordan, what's the pool of green liquid in the rear right footwell? Did you have a leak from the heater or spill a bottle of something?

Re: This may be the repair on the SVX I'm just not willing to do
Hey Joe, when the heater core blows the coolant has to go somewhere! I think the manufacturer took into account that in some part of the car's lifetime the heatercore would blow, so there's little sort of areas where the floor allows puddles of coolant to sit in just in case this happens.
VERY IMPORTANT! if you have suspisions your heater core has blown, don't drive it! The hole is likely to get bigger meaning pulling over to the side of the road. Here's the important part! When the car is angled up onto a towbed all of your coolant will dribble to the rear passengers footwell and will accumulate in a little puddle there just like in my picture, that little puddle is where your ABS computer sits and it will blow if coolant get's in it. |
