I don't have the full procedures for this you need and DO NEED! It's a big job and not DIY friendly at a minimum.

You will slow the problem by loosening pressure cap on cooling system for now - keep it full, clean windows with cleaner and don't let it get low or overheat!

If you have the time and place to do this you could save a lot as it's mostly labor but plenty of it. To have info at your beck and call try a library for a view of AllData.com of your car or you can buy a year's worth for this car for $25 or so.

This could require discharging A/C then proper recharge to R&R the core. Not sure for each car as said,

Thanks for the kind words! Flattery will get you everywhere

Wish you didn't need a heater core. They weren't any fun when everything was metal and easier to get at!

Good luck,

Well it is really for my niece, she has no one to help her and not a lot of cash, she always helps anyone and everyone and will never take anything, she always says "pay it forward" as do the rest of our family, how we was all brought up, so I will try it after work Monday, Thanks and have a grate day.
