[alfa] 164 Heater Core

[Karl <karld@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried it myself, but my Alfa-specialist mechanic has...the earlier (12v) models are a bit easier, but you should still be prepared for an extensive project. (Approx 8 - 10 hours on the professional clock, probably much more for a DIY Alfa owner).

I understand there may be a shortcut by loosening the dash pieces and moving them, without actually removing them entirely...as described by my mechanic.  Being  contortionist with small hands will help on this "shortcut". Still one of his least favorite repairs. Sorry I don't have more details.
