Smile W166 Complete Dash removal and Heater Core Replacement

Hello, I have searched the entire internet to the best of my ability and was not able to find a detailed how to guide or video for the heater core. I found bits a pieces but nothing that would show it step by step for noob mechanics like me. So, I went through that adventure myself, filmed it and fixed it. Hopefully, this can help someone out there trying to DIY since we all know how expensive it can be at the dealer and in my area were ready to charge me up to $4400 for a $120 part.


Good Luck!

Outstanding video. I admire you mechanical skills and your dexterity ( mostly done with one hand holding camera and other removing parts. I'd probably go for a can of BARS stop leak and trade the car. I enjoyed watching it as shows how to remove other parts. Great job.

Thanks a lot Isawelvis, I know getting rid of it would be the easiest decision but, I don't know, I still like the car though... Plus now I know that heater core is good and shouldn't give me anymore problems.
