How much does it cost to have the heater core replaced at a shop on average, can I do it myself?

Hello,

The heater core can be replaced in a few hours depending on your comfort level.
It is located in the heater/AC housing, under the instrument panel.(see diagram).
In order to replace the heater core you will have to remove the heater/AC housing out of the dash. This can be done using simple hand tools.

Here is a helpful article on heater core replacement:

I have included the complete replacement procedure for the heater core as will as the heater/AC housing removal.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
