just get a non-oem heater core. itll be fine and probably half the price, theyre warrantied anywho.



only easy one ive ever done was a 97 gmc pickup, like 5 screws and remove the access panel, then wham there it is. other then that they suck.



if it starts dumping out just loop the lines in the engine bay together until its convenient to fix, no harm no foul.

I was thinking about looping it together for now. It isn't the fact that I have no heat that totally bothers me - I am plenty warm in it, it is the fact that I am unable to defog the windshield - which is SLIGHTLY important!

 

a good radiator shop can fix it too if aftermarket is expensive

 

bah seeing isnt important



as long as you can shift mad fast yo!

That isn't a bad idea.....I hadn't even thought of that. I tried calling the local Auto Zone here and they said that the core is not available.....so I guess it is thru Mazda or have it fixed. I may do that. Thanks!

 

I have looped a heater core or two in my days- sometimes you have to do what you got to do
