gu patrol heater core removal

[phil2503]

hi everyone...just joined the site

I have a heater leaking heater core in a GU patrol. i have been told that the airconditioning has to be degassed as part of the process. Is this true?

Hi, have a search of the site, somewhere there is a pictorial account in a post of what was required to get at the heater core. Not for the faint hearted, the complete dash had to be removed as I recall.

You may also get a better response from the community here if you introduce yourself first.

thanks cuppa.....have gone and introduced myself (new to this)

My son is helping who is an apprentice mechanic. he was told it would need A/C degassing but i thought I would check if there was an alternative
