Hi,
The problem w/no heat might be curable with no drilling required, if your car is a (relatively) new 16 valver. Townsend Imports' website mentions the problem with this fix:
"92 and newer cars may have a problem with the bypass valve located in the heater hoses in the engine compartment, above the alternator.
This valve can block flow to the heater core or develop leaks. It is there to prevent loss of cabin heat at idle,
something we do not see a need for if the rest of the cooling system is up to par...When we see a problem with this bypass valve, we simply remove it from the car.
You can splice in connectors in its place or better yet replace the heater hoses and it with
heater hoses from a earlier car without the valve."
I hope this helps, but have never done the fix as mine is an '84 (8 valve)and it doesn't apply.
(I've put a link to Townsend's page below for more info.)
