Replaced the heater core. Dash is in, only 2 plugs to go...

I had to replace the heater core b/c one of the pipes has snapped off when I bought it.

I managed to remove the dash and heaterbox. Not as scary as I had envisaged.

I repaired the foam doors in the heater box and put a new heater core in.

From this...



To this...





Now the dash is back in, everything works except the blinkers and the MFA switch. I think the blinkers are shorted so a fuse should do it.

Only thing to go it I have 2 orphaned plugs.

This one is part of the wires which go over to the left speaker.



The other one is part of the grey covered set of wires running underneath. It's not for a dash light as they are all accounted for.





Anyone know where they go?

Cheers

Ok

It's all back in.

Got a heater hose off Brian but he told me you can get the feed hose locally. Found some old heater hose in the garage and it fit nicely.

Other than the temp control cable clip not holding properly it all works. The heater is brilliant, gives out heat super early unlike my MK5.

Only think not working is the MFA switch. I checked it with an older stalk and it won't switch it either. It must be a wire loose or the cluster has an issue. Hope not!
