To get to your heater core, do you have to remove the whole top of your dash like a golf?

I got no heat. its warm in the vent, but doesnt blow hot. Going to try unclogging the core and see if it helps.

i was thinking about replacing my cabin filter, idk where its located. is it behind the passenger wheel well? the little mechanism, with a cylinder filter thing?

any other suggestions?

 

It's by the ecu. You have to remove the wipers, weather stripping and then the plastic cover behind the motor.

 

what about the dash, does that have to be ripped apart?

 

Would Yes, only the filter is accessible in the engine bay
