Title: Heater core questions..
Post by: R.O.R-2.0 on March 27, 2011, 01:50:15 pm

so, are mk2 a/c and non a/c heater cores and heater boxes the same? or are they different like i figure they are going to be?

i have a 86 Golf with no a/c, it has a bad heater core. can i get away with using a heater core from a car with a/c, or does it have to be specifically for a non a/c car?

plus with no AC it's super easy to do. when there was a recall at VW for those ones, even without rushing i could do it in less than 1 1/2 hours
