I recently ripped apart the dash on the Mirage to do a heater core replacement. There has been an issue with some Mirages having heater core issues. Some are lucky and have had them replaced under warranty. I did not have that luxury.
Here are some pics of the job:
Dash disassembled.
Heater core being removed.
Testing the new core.
And, I also did an autopsy on the OE heater core to see what was wrong with it. I opened it up to find this gel like substance on the outlet side of the heater core. Very odd. If anyone has any idea what this is, why it happened, and / or how to flush it without replacing the core, I am all ears. It would be very helpful since other Mirage owners have the same issue.
