Okay well i pulled the carpet back and i can see it leaking from the bottem of the heater core housing, so im going to do the project this week.. which band is best to buy or are they all the same?
Agree with Tech... Behr is the OEM brand on your car. Stay away from Ready Rad... it's CCC (Cheap Chinese Crap)

Just got the core in the mail, going to replace it today but I was wondering about flushing the coolant with water.. Do you just drain it fill it up and drain it again?
Or is it even recomended to flush the system?
Thanks! one more thing..
The lining that goes around the core, is that so air does not pass the sides and goes directly through the core? how important is that pice?
yeah, it's a seal, so that air goes through the core and not around it. It's kind of important, because air will take the path of least resistance, and your heat won't be that strong. The new core should come with that seal.
