Replacing heater core - Where abouts and how much?

[Samuel elliot]

yeah sometimes I remove them from wrecked cars
Tedious job but only takes 6-8 hours,


And as above, there's no quick replacement for a Vt-vz, everything has to come out and go back in

Gord I'm so happy we live where a heater isn't needed.

yeah its not a hard job just time consuming, took me 6 hours to do mine just make sure ur replacement heater core is a brass one or u will be doing it again soon lol. if u get a mechanic to do the job well ur looking at say $80-$100 per hour, so 6-8 hour job plus parts ($110 for heater core + re-gass costs, new coolant) its not that cheap if u get someone to do it. Saying that there are some asian guys around that seem to do it for peanuts lol, but most of them dont even speak English so it would be a gamble knowing ur car will get done properly.

$950 is probably actually a fair price from Holden, which is rare. Like others have stated it is a massive job. Not overly hard though, you could always have a crack yourself.
