Blocking Heater Core Hoses

[TMW-R34]

Hi guys, my 34 GTT has just started leaking coolant inside the cabin, under the dash, passenger side. from what ive read, its the heater core telling me its had enough!!!

At the moment, being as hot as it is, id like to just join the hoses in the engine bay to bypass the core......how exactly do i do that??

Do i need to remove the hoses off the block and get a hose that loops across the two outlets?? or do i remove the hoses from the firewall and somehow join them together???

Any help would be great, or if you could point me in the rite direction..much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

u can't just block them, you have to join them together so the coolent can still circulate thru the engine! just find a metal pipe that fits inside the hoses and clamp them togther

you can just block them or join them. put a bolt up em and clamp or something simular. heater doesnt run all the coolant through it and if you couldnt block it then cars wouldnt have heater taps/valves

oh riteo, that sounds easier. safe to just block each hose off????

yeah you can block it. if your going to re-use same hoses for when its fixed then prob wouldnt put a bolt up it and clamp as it could wreck the inside of the hose. find something smoother. pretty sure on the inside of the cab there are 2 short heater hoses running from firewall to the core so it may just be one of them...
