Heater core/gas tank removal

[probuild521]

Does anyone know how to remove the heater core?

Also to remove the gas tank on a 1987 924s do you really ave to remove the transaxle and rear window(as stated by the haynes manual) to get it out?

Thanks

To remove the gas tank, you have to remove the transaxle first. Don't know about the window, but the haynes manual should be used for wiping your butt.

Thanks George, felt a bit rough though

I did not remove my passenger rear side glass.

Now for the heater core, I present the BEST writeup I have seen by Mr. SolReaver:

That's a great write-up on the heater core; saving the link.

No wonder I still get some airflow with working flaps and flaps in closed position.

It's a wonder that any 944's flaps seal properly. There's no way foam strips will be good after 20 or so years in this application.

I replaced my heater core becausei replaced all of the Hoses as well. Major PITA. BUt it was kinda a good learning expierence to know what wires go where and what gets conected to what. The write up showing rebuilding the flaps is a good idea. makes me wonder if i did it too... BTW when i was working my car stayed without its dash for like a month. BUt i was also replacing the timing belts.....GOOD TIMES
