Funny enough, the first time I tried to fix mine, I ended up with coolant everywhere! Anyone else have a DIY mishap?
Haha, yeah, I think we’ve all been there. DIY projects usually go sideways at some point!

For testing your heater core, you can use the garden hose method. Just disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses and see if water flows through freely.

That’s a good technique! If the flow is restricted, you’ve likely found your problem.

If you figure out the issue is a bad heater core, does anyone know how expensive this part typically is?
Prices can vary, but expect anywhere from $100 to $500 depending on your vehicle make and model. Labor can add up too if you go to a shop.
Definitely! That’s why DIY tutorials are so valuable.
