94 Crown Vic Heater Core Issue

Aug 08, 2006 1 Replies

My coolant level does not go down, but when I move the temperature lever from cold to hot, I get a just a very brief whiff of coolant smell. I've owned the car for about 2 months and had added a container of Barsleak pelletized to the cooling system shortly after I bought it (160K miles on it, just in case a radiator failure was around the corner). Is there a trick to changing the core? Thanks.



The "trick" is to pull the dashboard and HVAC box then replace the heater core. There's no way around it. It's not hard, just time consuming. Get a factory manual before you even think about doing it.
