Do i have to rip the whole dash off? is there a website that will show me how? HELP!!!!How do you change a heater core on a VW Jetta (96).?
You can go on line and look around. Heater cores can be a pain to near impossible. I can't speak for the VW jetta. You may want to price out an independent car shop. Try car talk dot com and look for recommended mechanics. You put your zip in. Call around and get a price. It may be easier and best to get it a shop to do the repair. At least price it out. The part is not cheap either. It is a super common problem and some shops have the practice and can get it done with out issues, but it will not be cheap. Sorry
I have a factory shop manual and found several areas in which no guidance was offered or where information was incomplete.
I wouldn't start this unless you are an above average mechanic and have good tools and better than average patience.
Some manuals are poor and not very complete. If you don't have some experience and ablities it can be tough. I recall you have to remove the dash and if you have AC it will complicate it more. Good luckHow do you change a heater core on a VW Jetta (96).?
Go to your local auto parts store and buy a Haynes Manual for your car and it will give you complete instructions with illustrations.
