Re: 2000 ls 2

Thought that it was leaking under the car?? if it was the heater core it would be leaking inside the car. Was it 400 for the whole job, or just the part???

Yes it is leaking under the car looks like small puddle under car right around heater core area underneath car. Yes Saturn sell it for 414.25 can't find a aftermarket one this is in Canada. Would it be cheaper to buy in U.S what is average price for labour per hour there.

Re: 2000 ls 2

Okay took close look at two hoses that attatch to the heatercore from the firewall of car and the one hose on left side closest to passenger side is leaking abit. How does one go about and fix this if I change the o ring on hose will it stop lek. How does one go about and open connection from hose to replace o ring how is this done any pics would be appreciated.Would replacing o ring on the hose stop radiator fluid from leaking out? What would chances of this being problem without replacing whole heator core.

Re: 2000 ls 2

Mine was leaking into the cabin, and as said above was an expensive fix...as I have had enough of this car, I used Bard's stop leak, and its been over a year since the core has leaked.
