How bad is it? I recently set up my first WC system with the help of reading this forum. My temps dropped about 20C. I used a heater core that I bought from the auto store for about $23. It looked like it was copper and brass, but I recently discovered by scratching it, that it is aluminum.
How quickly should I change this? Days? Weeks? Months?
I went to the auto parts store and discovered that they really don't make copper/brass heater cores anymore. I would have to get a dirty one from a junkyard or go with specialized one for the computer. After getting the copper fittings for the tubing, the flux and solder it costed more than forty dollars. I don't know if heater cores are the way to go. The perfomance seems good though.
What do you guys suggest?
