How much does a heating core cost to replace guys?
My friend has a 1994 GPX. 140,000km's on it...only problem is his heating core is broken. Not sure if I should buy his car. He worked as a mechanic for toyota....and he doesn't even know how the hell he's gonna fix it so I'm not too hopeful.

Re: Heating Core
Take a look at the pics about half way down, will give you some idea.
Some guys do it differently, but thats how I did it.

Re: Heating Core
If it doesn't cost much, I might consider buying his FTO then just having that fixed up.

Re: Heating Core
I don't know, I got the replacement core from another FTO member for free and did the job myself.
So free
So free

Re: Heating Core
2nd hand heater core: $70. The hard thing is getting it replaced. I recommend dash out.

Re: Heating Core
It is a pain in the ass job. Not for the difficulty but for the patience required. Can be done as Diy easy though. If the rest of the car is good, engine, gearbox, rust etc then 1000 is a good price.

Re: Heating Core
I had a look at the car. It's ruined....literally.
If anyone wants it, he's selling the whole car for $1000.
Has body damage, needs a new centre console and head gasket...and needs to be put back together. He removed the heater core...then gave up with the car.
