McGraw Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Does anyone have any tricks or tips about switching out the Heater core in a 93 Celica ST. I've got it bypassed now, but that'll be no fun once it gets colder. It's labeled as a 12 hour job by Toyota. And where as I thought I'd just have them do it, I can come up with a better way to spend $1,100. Figured I'd ask before I got into it, thanks!

Lustalbert Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 12 hour job? Did they build the car around the heater core? I have never done one on one a celica, the best I can say is get a haynes manual and read it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 yeah, a haynes manual is just about the best advice i could give you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest racinbird Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 for 12 hours, be ready to remove the entire dash/instrument panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'll do it for $200 and have it done in a day! takes 6-8 hours... drop the coloum, pull the dash, then pull the heater case out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGraw Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Haynes manuals for the car are worthless (I work at Autozone, that was the first place I checked when I heard '12 hours' I thought there's no fuckin' way.) I have a '93, and it shows and explains like '87 or something. And you do need to take out the instrument panel. Tomorrow is my first day off in awhile, I'm gonna mess around with it for a bit. If I get pissed off enough or tired of dicking around with it, I just might look ya up gearhead, so don't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TGrant Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Didn't you go to Wyotech? If you are mechanically inclined at all you should be able to do it. Just start taking the dash out and it should be pretty self explanatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGraw Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 haha yeah mechanically inclined doesn't mean I *want* to fuck around with it ... just means I'm able to heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
