Heater core reroute

[Franklee]

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,

All good

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

Sweet! Thanks lads.

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).
