I've got a leaking heater core on my 620 and can't seem to find a replacement. If anyone has a source for these, please let me know.

Also, can it be replaced without taking out the whole dash. Looks like it should come out the bottom?

Thanks

Mike

There are only three bolts holding the heater in. because the room underneath the heater is so tigt you may have to undo the two side bolts and swing it out (this may involve removing the hoses from the heater) you shouldn't have to mess with the top bolt. It's very simple to do. Good luck finding the heater core though. i searched for a long time before giving up and putting a Danhard Universal heater in. It works just as good as the old heater if not better, a couple hundred bucks for the universal heater though.

Good Luck

You can take your heater core to any radiator shop and they can match it up pretty close and put your tanks up on a new one for around $100.
