What kind of car are we talking about here?

I can't think of what else it could be, other than the heater core. Depending on year/model, this could be a really big (16 hours) job.

six to eight on a 126. Just be thankful it's not a 124. Before you start ripping everything out take a peek at the hoses to core.
