Hi All
New on here - so be gentle!
Had a jimny for about 3 years then moved to a jeep wrangler. I've decided the jeep is just too expensive to run so just bought another jimny.
Anyway - cut to the chase, has anybody got experience of changing the heater core. Turns out mine has been bypassed upon connecting up is leaks like a seive (as expected!). Any pointer would help - looks like a job for next weekend.
Cheers
ML

Hello and welcome...
Good luck!! on the heater change! The instructions from the workshop manual have one very frightening line "4) Remove instrument panel."!!!! Once you are past this stage its very simple as the unit is held in with 5 nuts/bolts.

2) If equipped with air bag system disable air bag system.
Refer to “Disabling Air Bag System†in Section 10B.
3) Drain engine coolant and disconnect water hoses (1) from
heater unit.
4) Remove instrument panel.
5) Remove bolts, nuts and screws as shown figure.
6) Remove heater unit (1).

Install heater unit by reversing removal procedure, noting the following
items.
