Rear heater core replacement
I had an issue earlier that I traced back to the rear climate control heater core. To replace it, do I have to remove the whole dashboard? There aren't any videos on it. But I assume that is the case.

no - look on youtube
and why start a new thread for the same subject?

I haven't been able to find anything on Google, YouTube or the forums about it. Maybe I'm just using the wrong phrases in my search. And I made a new one so that people don't read the title and assume I'm still trying to find out what the issue is. Now people know exactly what it's about.

but until you pull it apart having exhausted all the other far more likely causes you wont know...
in your first post on the other thread you stated "First thing I noticed was water spraying out of the windshield washer cap" so were you mistaken or have you found how this is possible ? there is indeed engine coolant pumped through a kettle style heater element inside the washer bottle for cold weather heating - but what on earth does that have to do with the optional rear heater ?
to get at the comand knob you have to remove the centre console

this reminds me of a mistake I here from Derek all day long on vice grip garage....
he takes about old cars parked up with no antifreeze might have popped the "freeze plugs" that is utter horse **** - there is NO such thing on a car engine
the "core plugs" are there to hold the core when the engine block is cast - to create the water ways for the cooling system

good luck hoping a v12 will survive such treatment
