Can anyone give me heads up on a 100 Series leaking heater, I've been told that there is no heater tap. It just uses a flap to direct hot air around. I believe that you have to remove the whole dash assembly to get to the faulty part. I'm in the eastern suburbs of
Melbourne and would like to take it to someone who has complete this before.
Cheers

Hi Paul k11. I had
mine done a month ago in Horsham Vic. They completed the job inside 2 days, The local toyota dealership Quoted me 3 days. Everything had to come out one piece a a time. The mechanic showed me all of the photos he took as he was taking it out, so he knew how to re wire everything and so it went back as it came out. He said it was a long time since he had done one, Oh and he was right, the bill wasn't pretty ! Lol.... When I turned up with the problem, he disconnected the 2 heater hoses leading into the firewall, then connected them using a joiner, that stopped the coolant flowing through the heater core. Which stopped the leak until he could do the job... The air con also has to be disconnected, so will need to be re gassed. All the best.
