Subject:alternate front heater core options?
From:Robert Harris
Date:Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:10:51 -0400

My Westy's front heater core has a slow coolant leak and the replacement
cores are spendy at $350+.  Has anybody tried fitting a heater core from
Jetta/Honda/Toyota/etc (something easy to find cheap at the junkyard) to
the Vanagon front heater box?  Very interested to know what car you got the
part from and how much fabrication you had to do to the VW heater box to
make it work.
thanks much!
