Re: [alfa] 164 heater core replacement

[doug sedon <sedond@xxxxxxxxx>]

in my case, the core seams failed.  but, due to how
much of a pita it is to replace, i'd suggest replacing
the hoses even if they look ok.  i'd also go ahead &
replace the hvac fan, if it has >100k on it, as long
as the fan box is outta the car!  ;~)
