Help with Heater Core Bypass - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #96889 5 posts Started by GotMeAnotherOne
There is a small leak in my heater core. I can see coolant drip onto the passenger side floor mat every time I take the car out for a drive.
I need to bypass the heater core but I'm not sure which hose to pull from the firewall inside the engine bay.
On a lot of cars, people say it should be on the passenger side but I am not so sure on the 6gc.
Here are some pictures I took. Guidance will be much appreciated.

Passenger side:


Driver side:
Those two hoses on the drivers side is the inlet and outlet of your heater core. I pulled them and stuffed a tube into them to bypass my heater core on one of mt old celicas. Had it like that for at least a few months haha

you have to pull them both. just loop the hose from the head to the hard water pipe
