Dash Heater Core, I've lost all heat in the dash. my mechanic spend an age unblocking my coolant system and replaced a few bit and inclusding a coolant leak on the thermostat housing. He said it was on the verge of total failure, and took server flush cycles to get sll the sh*t out. but they never bothered there holes flushing the matrix like I originally asked. They said it most likely totally buggered up as the whole system was in really bad shape from someone using water in the coolant previously.
Asides from a reverse flush is it dash out job to replace the matrix, I've read conflicting reports that it can be done from under the foot well ?? anyone have a guide link please ??? The cores themselves see cheap enough to buy.

TRY YOUTUBE if the core is badly blocked its hard flush it completely

has your heating suddenly stopped? does your temp gauge exceed normal (90) ?
The core can be replaced without taking the dash out.
