Hey everyone i need some help on replacing my heater core because whenever i turn on the heater mmmm you get the sweet smell of antifreeze! Ive never replaced a heater core so i was woundering how hard it was and if you have to pull the dash out. Any help or instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

What year and model? It makes a big difference.

It is a very involved job. The dash must be removed and it takes several hours for a pro or a weekend for an inexperienced DIYer.

Here are the guides for a W123 (240D, 300D/CD/TD, 280E/TE)
