How much will it cost me to replace my 2000 VW Passat Heater Core?
How much will it cost me to replace my 2000 VW Passat Heater Core?Parts and Labor? Not sure how much this might run. ThanksHow much will it cost me to replace my 2000 VW Passat Heater Core?It depends where you take it to and if you have an air conditioner. To replace it the mechanic has to take apart the dash. I had a quote from a dealer for my Ford Taurus 93 and it would have been $600, for some reason if you have an air conditioner rather than just a vent system it takes longer work. A friend of my husband did it for $150 and a couple cases of beer. The part itself is less that $100.virtual villagers 5
