What is the proper procedure to romove the heater cores on an '85 308? The boxes are in very tight spaces and , while I did replace the foam filters last year, I could barely get the them in. The reason I ask is that I suspect that I might have a small leak in one of them. Here's why:
Each time I take a very sharp turn at a slightly accelerated speed, I get a strong, distinct smell of coolant in the cockpit. It immediately dissipates and only occurs under that condition and never lasts for more than a few seconds. Since the smell is within the cockpit, I'm guessing that the smell must be coming through the vent(s), meaning the source is likely in a heater core. I've checked all of the hoses in that area and heater control valve and everything is tight and dry. There is no sign of leakage on the ground and the coolant level remains stabile. Any ideas about this besides the cores?So, I'd like to remove the cores and check them out closely. The box on the passenger side has an ac component in front of it. Do I have to dc the hose on this to move it aside to get the box/ core out?
