Hi all, I made an appt to take the car in have oil fumes inside car when pull heater knob. The porsche mechanic said probably have oil dripping on the 3-4 foot long heat exchangers and inside for years built up. He said on VWs they usually replace them are they available for 914s. If not available he said he may be able to bring them to a radiator shop and have them cleaned out. I need some guidance, opinions and suggestions on this project.

if no leaks from the header pipes to HE box, just clean them. Used HE usually range between $250 to $350.
