Rear engine cooling system

[Fairchild]

Hey guys, I have a coolant leak in the rear of my engine, I was wondering how much it would cost to get a heater core and rear cooling hose replacement done on my car. I really don't want to do this one myself.

in a simple few words. a shit ton. the heater core is "accessible" with out taking the dash apart but you have to rig the hoses to make the new one function. right way is a complete dash pull. the heater hoses are cheap.

you havent done the TB bypass have you. could you bypass hoses be leaking?

By rig he means cut the pipes after the bends and use a silicone coupler/hose to replace the section you cut out. Just saw it done on 3zc and since my heater core is deeeeeead, might be doing it myself >_>

do you mean replace the heater core or just the hoses? The hoses i would reccommend z1's (silicone) and if its the heater core, the last one we did was around $400 in labor. We have to pull the dash and do it, no rigging on customers cars, but if there is simpler way to do it, it might be worth looking into.
