Heater reconnection
Ladies, gentleman, Tino,
Winter is upon us. My car currently does not have a heater hooked up, apparently it was causing dramas before. As a result, during night time and early morning. I am fucking freezing, especially if the car fogs up and I need to open the window. Now this probably means Its either blocked or rooted. Ive just spent 10 dumbfounding minuites wondering where the lines go into the firewall so I can shove a hose in to see if its blocked etc. In summary - me retard, need help. Further summary - if help, will reward.

In most cases, heaters are disconnected when the core inside the dash leaks. If you can find the hoses on the firewall, just hook up a garden hose and run it through, that way if it leaks, you don't get coolant in your interior.

As said, 99% chance that it leaks if disconnected. Dash out job to fix. I have done a few so ask away if you need tips on how to DIY.

from a google image search, I think they are driver side near brake booster. Not 100% tho
just thought, maybe core was removed, hence no connections?

Off the top of my head, on the rs there is one either side of the pitch rod.

^ in GC its one either side of the Pitch mount on the firewall too. On GD I believe they are both pax side. The heating system is continuous flow, you can't just block it up or it fucks with your engine cooling (ask me how I know). If your current core is fucked it would likely be bypassed with a length of hose in front of the firewall. The feed should be from under the inlet manifold on the passenger head, and it joins back into the head crossover pipe under the manifold.
Once again, not super familiar with RS dashes, pretty sure in a GC you can do it with the dash in place but it would be a mirrion times easier with it out of the way
