coolant in my bullit

[Bullit6888]

i just bought this 2001 bullit and its leaking coolant into the car through the vent doors. i think its the heater core. how long does it take to change this out?

look for loose hose clamps first. your heater core shouldn't be going out when the car is only 9 years old. and it'll be a pita to change. give yourself a weekend depending on your skills

A trained factory tech, ie if you went to a dealer, gets paid 6.1 hours to do the work.

@ 100 dollars an hour and he is experienced at doing it. and if it's your first time doing it plan on about twice that

 

[duff daddy]

yea i ment to put the normally whatever the tech gets paid, you double it and that is ABOUT what it should take a normal person with some talent

It's a sucky time consuming job. If you find yourself getting frustrated walk away for about 15 minutes and come back later.

You guys put too much faith into Ford Service. (no offense if you work there) But I have a 1992 F150 and my key would only work when turning forward. So I took it to the ford dealer (I couldn't even shut the pickup off). They wanted around 500 bucks to fix it (50 bucks for parts). I ended up buying a new tumbler, and worked on it at the shop where I go to school. It took me 4-5 hours, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Had to take the steering wheel off (with a rigged up puller) and the steering shaft out of the column. I told myself that if I ever did it again I could do it in less than 2 hours with the proper tools.

I figured out the pics kinda. i took the whole dash apart to get to the heater core. it took me about 4 hours to get it all out. i took a break from it yesterday and im going to try and get to the heater core today. Tips or tricks to get that thing out? i cant see shit its like still on the fire wall?
