abbott Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 ok guys well i now have an early model ke20 and its a little bit different to the late model I'm used to. basically the heater core appears to be just in front of the gearstick with no console over it or anything and the heater hoses and taps are just under the glove box? is this normal i put a picture up to refer to! dunno if I'm missing a console or its just normal or what but any help is awesome cheers guys!

Des Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 WTF is that shit. No thats not normal. The tap is wrong for starters. Quote
abbott Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah I looked at it and just thought that wasn't right looks very aftermarket not much I can Though unless I byoass heaters and remove all the other crap Quote
LukeAE71 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 If you want you are welcome to the heater setup in the late wreck I have Quote
abbott Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 alright man not really sure how to do it all never realy worked with heaters or anything much maybe when I get it going I'll head to yours and have a look! Quote
LukeAE71 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Yep you're welcome to it but you will have to remove it yourself and the car won't be staying at mine for long either lol Quote

frasian Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 wow supreme backyard job there... does it work allright ? Quote
coln72 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 For what Toyota used to charge for a heater tap, I'm not surprised that someone has done that. Quote
parrot Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 That looks pretty damn effective and I suspect puts out good heat If I was you, I would wait till after winter to swap the new one in! Quote
philbey Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 I would hazard a guess that mod was done because they had trouble getting a new heater core...? Quote
ke70dave Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 that is fantastic. leave it as it is! make sure those hose clamps are tight! that looks like an oil cooler off an twinky corolla? 1 Quote
