I once found out that I had to vacuum the system after replacing the core to get proper airflow. Definitely don’t skip that step!
That’s such a good point! A vacuum helps prevent air pockets which can cause heating issues.
What about that unpleasant odor? I heard sometimes the heater core replacement can lead to it. Any thoughts?

Oh, that’s a real issue! It could be residual coolant or debris. You may need to flush the system thoroughly.
Haha, coolant in your cabin? Sounds like a recipe for a bad time! Good luck with those odors!
Support each other, guys! You can do this! Just take your time and double-check everything while working.
Do you all think it’s worth investing in a repair manual for the Equinox? I’m a bit nervous about making mistakes.
Absolutely! A repair manual can guide you through the entire process and troubleshooting steps. It’s a really good investment.
You know, sometimes I think replacing parts could be like a puzzle. You think you got it, and then… it’s not quite right!
