BTW -Is your air conditioner working?
Yes the A/C is working, I replaced the motor resistor not long ago because it was working only at the highest setting, everything is good now. The problem with the heater is because the heater core was leaking into the passenger compartment, one day I found the carpet was totally green and since then I bypassed the heater hoses at the tensioner assembly.

It doesn't really bothers me because of the driver's heated seat, anyone else who gets in the car whit me during a cold day should worry about it

That will be my next project for this car: replacing the heater core. I'll let you guys now about it

Best regards,

Oscar.
