darthsoob Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 87 BRAT with a fully functional heater however pine needles have invaded. Anyone out there have an easy fix that does not involve pulling the core? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 wow sounds exactly like what happend to my mazda. What i did (dunno if this might apply) i took off one of the heater ducts leading from the heater core and reached my hand into the heater box and pulled out as much as i could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 You may be able to fish a vacuum cleaner hoses into one of the ducts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsoob Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Wel, l I can open one of the ducts and fish out some of the needles with a homemade vacumn attachment, too narrow to get a hand in, but it won't get the needles that have already plugged the core. Was just curious if someone had a trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Pull the glovebox and then pull the blower motor. Make sure it isnt full of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 get the biggest shop-vac you can buy and make a series of downsizes on the hose untill you get it to fit and them LET A RIP.... oh you wanted serious help... sorry... do what the dude said before me! sounds like a smart idea.. your gonna have to take of somethings... but not the core!
