Heater Core

[Chris Peterson]

I am attempting to replace the heater core in my 92 Jetta GL w/ A/C. I took most of the dash apart, and am now stuck. Do I need to remove the entire dash? Or just the center console? I've located the heater core, but how in the world do I remove it. I've done plenty of maintenace on VW's before, but this is a big job for me. Any help you can give would be great.

Thanks,
Chris

If it's anything like a Corrado, yes, the entire dash have to come out.

I've removed all the obvious bolts and screws, and it still won't come out. Any ideas on where the ones are that I am missing?

Thanks,

I like Chris have a leaking heater core. I have the dash completely out with all ventilation and other parts. I can see the heater and A/C boxes. How does one get the heater box out to extract the core. I have found one bolt on the firewall in the engine by that I think may be it. Once this is removed, will the heater box and core come out?

Holy cow man did you not check and see if there is a recall on that? Traffic and saftey website should have it all. THere has been a lot of years that recalled the heater core because we wouldn't want to scall someone in the name of trying to make more money as if it wore out.
