Actually, I am pretty sure on the RS the pitch rod is metal. Looks similar to the pic Matt has posted still though...

Jester - it has been looped around - passanger side rear of engine.

There's a metal pipe sticking through the fire wall each side of the pitch stopper mount.

If you're going to run a hose through it make sure that you don't crank the pressure too high.......

P.s don't forget to blow out as much water as you can afterwards, otherwise the plain water will cause the core to corrode quick smart!

S....H....O.....U.....L......D......have refreshed ha ha!!!

Odds are high, but since Im not baller I dont want spend the cash unless needs be.

I think my heater pipe cores have corroded away... Does anybody recommond or know where I can take it to get looked at and how much it will set me down?

Cheers.

Its a dash out job, and support beam, and then heater box apart, allow a day. its an integral part of the cooling system, not just for warming your feeties on a cold morning.
I can tell you they're around $600 new.
I'd be trying JWS or similar.
Usually, they block up and the car starts to overheat because with no flow through the core the thermostat won't open. Symptom's very similar to a blown head gasket, or jammed thermostat.

I've done Lib, GD, and GC heater cores.
Its quite time consuming.
In fact the heater core on my missus' 99 is leaking and I've been putting it off.

Sounds too hard. I say fuck it and pack yourself a hot water bottle on the way to work :D

Im probably just going to get 12v heater fans installed.

Light a small fire under the dash Teejay? Or DIY stereo install, same-same!
