[x-type] Heater core

X-Type
1

I think I have a leak in my heater core. So, two questions:

  1. How hard is it to change the heater core?

  2. Anybody have a source for a new heater core?

Thanks–

I have a 2002 x series and it has had moisture in the
cabin plus slow antifreeze loss after long drives so I’m
guessing its the dreaded heater core
I put some bars leak in the reservoir but after a few
short runs Its not looking good
A local shop told me its 17 hours labor to replace the
core but I call !! On this
Let me know what you find out–

I found out my heater core wasn’t leaking so no help with
the labor side.

I did find a source for a new heater core at $31.98.

Good luck.–
