Browning Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 How hard is it to change the heater core in a 98 neon. Smells like antifreeze when running the defrost and here lately there's been a film on the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I was hoping it could be done without removing the dash. That sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
