850 GLT Amost No Heat!!

My 805 has ice cold AC but there is almost no heat. Do I need to change
the heater core?
Due to lack of $$ I'm thinking of getting a used one. I actually saw
one on ebay and it was pulled out of a S70 1998. I wonder whether thats
compatible with a 850 GLT 1996.

I will appreaciate all the help and advice.

Thanks.

The heater core will fit, it's the same, however, I doubt it will help.
More likely is a problem with the heater valve, thermostat or the blend
door in the heater box.

1st check your coolant level....

 

Not likely to be the core. They rarely plug up to the degree which
would be required to stop heat from working. Much more likely to be a
heater valve or other control.

Most likely to be a failed thermostat - shouldn't be too expensive to
replace.
