What is the difference between evaporator core vs. heater core

The evaporator core is inside the air ducting which is behind the dash assembly, the entire dash must be removed to replace the evaporator core.

Hey Marcel,
Does the liquid smell funny? Sounds like the heater core is leaking... get the engine warm, then turn the heater wide open - hot as possible- and see if the liquid reappears ,, if it does,, you need to get the heater core repaired or replaced.

Heater core is removed from inside the cabin. About a two hour job. The hardest part is removing the hoses in the engine bay.
In the cabin, remove the beauty panel under the glovebox; remove the glovebox, and move the HVAC controller. The heater housing, or cover is held with two screws, and the core is held with one screw (clamp).
Remove the HVAC module assembly. Refer to HVAC Module Assembly Replacement.
Remove the HVAC filter cover.
Remove the heater core/evaporator tube seals from the module.
Remove the heater core cover screws (1).
Remove the heater core retaining screws (1).
Remove the heater core retaining straps.

For a mechanic that knows what hes doing, that job calls for a little more than 6 hours to replace the heater core.

First you'll need remove the heater A/C unit from the vehicle; after, remove the heater core retaining screws, and finally, pull the heatrer core straight out of the housing.

Hop helped with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

The Heater core is behind the dashboard next to the evaporator.The dash needs to come out, then you can remove the evaporator/heater core housing.

First you need to remove the dashboard. With the dash out of the vehicle, you can access the heater.evaporator casing. Pull the casing out, after you have removed freon, and then remove the heater core. Then just reverse the procedure.
