    Question Heater core reroute

    Hi guys,

    Can someone please let me know if this is an acceptable reroute of the heating hoses, (due to a leaking core).

    I've run the car for 15min or so and it doesn't seem to have any problems.. If there are any negative drawbacks from this I'd really like to know.

    Cheers,

    Wow that was quick

    So no worries? It's not going to create extra pressure or anything silly?

    cheers,

    No problem at all - until winter

    no negative effects

    it's the same as running with the heater off

    but it sucks in winter and also when it's raining (you can't heat the windscreen)

    Hahaha we did that to the missus deawoo on our way from Vic to QLD... Nothing like a roadside patch up! (the car is still driving around like that a year later).
