Broke plastic nipple on heater core 1996 dodge neon

being plastic it probably be unrepairable. Talk with a radiator shop as the fix may be a new heater core or a new tank for the heater core

find the coolant pipe in and the coolant pipe out and use a connector to join the two together. This takes the heater out of the system

how to replace heater core connectors ona 2000 2500 gmc serria truck

yes..you can the nipples coming from the heater core are copper so you can just replace the hose and connect it to the heater core

There is a special tool to remove fitting. Don't get too rough...you will damage heater core. This will turn a small problem into a big one!

RKmastertech is incorrect. That plastic fitting is seperate from the aluminum heater core and can be removed by means of a special quick disconnect tool, like OTC 6046. Rock auto has the fitting for $5 plus shipping, just for a reference.

Unfortunately the heater core must be replaced because the nipple is soldered to the heater core and access to the core for resoldering is not possible unless the heater core is remove and so if you go to that kind of trouble you should just replace the core with a new one rather than doing the repair and risking a future leak after reinstalling.

yes its bad you have to take the dash out

the best way to clean out a heater core of gunk on a dodge neon is unhook the heater core lines from the fire wall after draining all the old coolant and then run a water hose to the heater core, do the top line first and then do the botom one after about a min. while the coolant is out replace the thermoustat.

All you have to do is follow your radiator to it. From the front of the car into the dash.Your Heater Core is in your dash somewhere behind the intake manifold.
