[Rovernet] P6 Heater Core

Either way, it seems the heater box needs to come out to fix the problem. Unless the header tanks are rotted out, a plugged core could be replaced by a rad shop rather than having to find a replacement. My experience with the 4 cyl heaters is the core rarely leak or plug, I think because coolant circulates at all times.

Yours
