Gonna need a heater core...

[902066]

How do you temporarily bypass the heater core? I have had my ZR-1 for 8 years and never used my heater or defrost. I would like to bypass it before it starts to leak, and someday if I need a heater, or sell the car reconnect it. Thanks

I'm looking forward to tearing the dash apart about like "going to the woodshed". But! I do driver 'er a little in the winter on sunny, dry days and a defroster and warm toes are nice. SO...I recon I'll bite the bullet and change the SOB and be done with it. But, I may bypass it until cooler weather arrives - hadn't considered that, Hans...Good suggestion.

Other than lots of distilled water and a wet/dry shop vac, any suggestions on getting the antifreeze out of the carpet???

TIA,

P.

Paul, what color carpet is in your car? Also the dash is not TOO BAD to remove, but it depends on what the book says too. I thinkt he dash pad has to come out, but again, I may not be able to drive downa nd help,m but I can guide you through on some things
