It's there for a reason but if you don't want to replace it shouldn't be a big problem depending on where it is and what it does

2010 Avalon blows cold air, but no heat. It slowly loses coolant, from reservoir.. The hoses are not cracked. I was told it could be thermostat or heater core. Is this expensive repair?
