Heater Core - Description






DESCRIPTION





The heater core (1) is mounted into the HVAC air distribution housing, located behind the instrument panel. The heater core is a heat exchanger made of rows of tubes and fins. The heater core is secured to the air distribution housing by four plastic retaining tabs. The heater core tubes (3) are attached to the heater core by use of metal retaining clamps (2) and rubber O-ring seals.

The heater core tubes are not serviced separately from the heater core. The air distribution housing must be removed from the vehicle to service the heater core.
