Subject:Heater Core Replacement Degree of Difficulty 82 D Westy?
From:Mark B. Magee

Volks,
I am losing a small amount of coolant somewhere in my 82 Diesel Westy. I
suspect the heater core for when we made a 150 mile trip a few weeks
back w/heater on and flowing water, I could hear a noticeable "spitting"
coming from under the dash that stopped when I turned the water off to
the heater. What do you volks think, must be the heater core, huh?
There is no water dripping down anywhere, would it be vaporizing. I
don't really smell anything either, I am losing coolant however.
How difficult is it to "dig out" this heater core (dash unit) in my
Westy? Is this do-able by a semi pro or require the patience/skills of a
pro?
