Car Forum / GMC Cars / March 2008Heater Core Replacement on 1990 Buick Wagon
I have a 1990 Buick wagon with smoke coming in the vents after the car heats up. I suppose it is the heater core. I don't want to spend big bucks getting it fixed at a garage. Which is better -- adding leak repair or connecting inflow and outflow hoses to bypass core? If I decide to fix this does anyone know how big a job it is on this model? Is it hard to get to and replace? Thanks, Bojangles > I have a 1990 Buick wagon with smoke coming in the vents after the car > heats up. I suppose it is the heater core.

Bypass. The crap you put in to seal does not work in many cases and can clog an older radiator. HOw true, I learned that lesson the hard way.
